Narratives

The narrative script first draft has been written and I went to a tutorial where I was given an interesting critique of my work. I feel that the tutor, however, cares a lot more for the plot holes in my script than the characterisation and overall theme of the script, which is at odds with the general advice given to us in lectures ("character, character, character"). The plot holes are less plot holes than things that aren't necessary to explain and the explanation of which may well detract from the overall story. So I have decided to ignore those comments.

Her other comments were very relevant. Firstly to make the main character more important to the climax and denouement of the story, and secondly to make the mother's character less of a stereotype.

Results of Images

I was very encouraged by my results and found the resultsu to be accurate and fair. I just need to work on my ability at wrapping u narratives and making my second act more engrossing.

Finished script and essay for images...

I have finished the script and essay. I think the essay has turned out very well, I used the techniques learnt from A-level and matched it with a really wide reading of useful books advised by the unit guide, which I found incredibly useful.

The script I wrote I am also happy with, but I'm worried about the ending, my tutor had told me to fiddle around with it as it was not quite right. I found the process of coming up with an ending very difficult. The script itself was quite easy to write as I have written many before.

Images...

The first term has started and I'm excited. The first lecture outlined what we were expected to do in the first essay we will be asked to write on images, and covered some basic information. I know a lot about the subject which makes me feel rather confident, but I am worried about exactly how a university essay differs from an A-level one. I intend to gain more information about this at my PAL meeting.

The first script project sounds very interesting and broad, I have a million ideas floating around my mind. The idea of actually having my script produced is encouraging.
