Anticipated Problems


Week 6 Project Review
So far I have written five different scenes in my script. I find it more difficult then I thought it would be. I have the main idea how I want my film to go but it is difficult to put it shot by shot down. The script I am writing is for a Kong-Fu film. The scenes I have written so far cover the start where my main character starts his journey after the evil Fu Man Cu. I have enough stuff to do my workshop on.
