Journal #2

What stood out to me in the handout, was the acknowledgement of the fear of “messing up”, or even the fear of the blank page. It is a very real fear, or rather block, one of which I struggle with often. If you can’t figure out your story, then others can’t comprehend it either. People have a great idea, however they don’t know, or want to put it in a small, understandable summary.

In my opinion, I agree with the motion that screenwriting is basically an art. Like art, it takes time, and patience to come full circle into a final piece. If a piece is rushed, it can end up looking (or sounding) messy, or all jumbled to where it’s unrecognizable because the artist/author wanted to get everything onto a canvas or paper in a little amount of time.

I think it can take some time for a well developed screenplay to come from a very long, and developed story. (Like what I have) However, I am semi-confident that it can, and will be worked out.
