Ashton Vs. Navarro
So I've been writing as much as I can this weekend. As of right now I’m at page 56 of the Printed out second draft and page 46 of the new re-write. I've already cut 10 pages and am confident I can find 20 more. I'd like to get it in between 100-110. Friday I didn't get anything done at work and Friday night I had to attend a screening for a film in which I’m apart of. Well I really worked on the sequel but I had to make an appearance at this screening for one because I wanted to see it, and two we wanted to see the people I had worked with on the second one. You can check it out at http://www.thefaceoffreedom.com/. I worked on 14 days in Great Britain. Anyway. Saturday I had to finish that wedding video, which is done, and then I was supposed to go to a movie with my DP but I thought it better to work on the Screenplay, which I did. Today I worked on the screenplay all day with the exception of a 3-hour detour when I discovered a nasty huge patch of mold and muck growing under the burners of the stove in my apartment. A bucket of bleach, 3 roles of paper towels, and 3 hours later we were airing out the nasty stench. But before that all happened while I was writing the script I had another epiphany. When I was talking to my friend last Thursday he was asking me about the central conflict in my story and I realized it was Brandon and Officer Ashton's conflict that was central. So I needed to beef up Officer Ashton's character and involvement in the story. While I was writing I realized that if in the first few acts I switch the characters around a bit so that Officer Ashton took Officer Navarro's role on it would one, get officer ashton more involved in the story and more central to the plot and two give him a nice character arc. So far it's working out good. Navarro has stayed who he is but as fallen to the background and Officer Ashton has come forth. I should be getting my lap top tomorrow so writing should be a lot easier.
