Script Writting Masterclass (notes I took )

• Is this an animated idea ?
  
• does this idea lend its self to animation?
• its good to let your audience know what their in for in the first five seconds.

If your a good lier your a good story teller

Your central character needs a good protagonist

Be absoulty clear of the protagonist

Transcript other scripts to see what other animations you have appreciated have achieved

Let you audience know your genreh in the first minute

With comedy end with the punchline

The always must be a change of energy at the end of the scene/engery shift/maybe provoke the character/grab the character with some thing which concerns them.

Act 1 show setting character happening/ Act 2 Despiration/ Act 3 solution to problem, to get your character out of a dilema makes a great film/animation

When writting think like a camrea, think about where the camrea is, write what the camrea is doing i.e close ups

Split up scene (each action) i.e Scene 1 John walks to door/ Scene 2 John kicks is/ Scene 3 John trips/ twist/resoulution at end of sequence

No langue = universal access

Quick points to ask your self when creating a character

• First name:
  
  
• Second name:



• Lives:


• 
  
• Where does you character like to go on hoiliday?



• What your characters favourite animal?



• What you characters deepest darkest secret?
  

Sound In Animation Seminare Notes

Alway engage with the idea of the sound because they are just as important as the animation if not more as we are so hypersensitive to sound that we can begin to forgive bad visual but not terrible sound as we as human beings a exsperts

Reading out your script whilst playing music

Give your muscian an Idea of you infleneces being culturaly specific and never invite a musician to a mix.

My Thoughts on This Seminar

To be honest I took very little from this seminre as there were four speakers of which rattled on irrelivantly as if they were on an episode of lose women saying the same this over and over, contradicting there own point reguarly, exsept for one whom didn't speak much as he had a saw throat . I found that the host loved the sound of his voice far to much interupting and speaking over his guess speaker again and again which felt was very rude leaving me to ponder the thought why ask a question if you already seemingly know the answer?
