Radio scripting if you please




Now since my last post where i just showed how T.V. and movie can be writing i thought that i will include radio drama just to give a clear view on of mediums for scripts, i will not use radio drama as a main focus but, i thought it would be useful here.


Radio 
Radio drama is the most intimate relationship a scriptwriter can have with their audience, and yet it can also cheaply create anything that you can imagine.

O, Journal, My Journal







For my course, I have to pick a topic that relates to the industry in this case, my journal will focus on How Script Writing Changes due to different media  this means that i want to know how the process of script writing differs when your writing for a film and how its different to writing for T.V.

Firstly i will look at the basis of the script for:

Film

Here is just a simple wiki on how you write for a film.

T.V.

Here is a familiar page to just show how some can start writing a T.V, script
This is not in depth as the previous link, but it gives you a basic idea on what TV script writing is.

Descriptor of charactor

Hello again, I'm back after a week or two off, but i have being working hard on my course, or to be specific my script writing for my course (which i tend to go into further o here since i'm writing a report about but anyway). I thought i would give some help to struggling author's or writers out there and give some basic help i got in my course which are the eight basic story types and some descriptions about them that may help, so here we go.

1) Achilles: This idea takes the idea of a fatal flaw (which we all have) that leads to the destruction of a precious flawless individual. Most crime or superheroes mob#vies use this idea.

2) Candide or  the indomitable hero: this focuses on the good man/women or hero and them not being kept down, fighting off anything that comes their way (something we should all do) and overcomes it. Can also be seen as the innocent abroad or eternal optimist.

3)Cinderella: The classic rags to riches story where the dream comes true or happiness and fulfillment is at last realized after many ups and downs. This basic idea is often used in Disney films (hence the name sake) or certain film good dramas.

4) Circe: Taken from the Greek myth, this looks at the chase. the victim and the criminal. The spider and the fly. Most film noir's use this and some dramas.

5)Faust: Making a deal with the devil, that at first brings only good but comes with a price, when fate finally catches up with them (and we know how that ends)

6) Orpheus: Involves a gift taken away, the loss of something personal. the main idea focuses on the loss or the search that inevitable follows

7) Romeo and Juliet: I think we all know how this goes, Boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy finds girl again. So anything romantic use this.

8) Tristan: This involves triangles [eternal or otherwise] man loves women or other way around but one or both are spoken for.

Now this a short idea for basis for stories, but there are many others if you wish to look.
