Reflective log – Week 6 (FMP)

Reflective log – Week 6

The research I have done this week is looking into TV shows and other screen plays with good LGBT representation and describing how it’s shown also giving my opinions on how it has been portrayed. This was useful to me because I could include some ideas and improve upon them.

I have discussed the backgrounds of my characters and how it fits in to the whole narrative so the story begins to make a bit more sense and things connect more. This has encouraged me to make small changes to the story lines and characters.

This week I have mostly been working on my research whilst working on my script in the background. I managed to get quite a bit of research done but only managed to write a page and a half of my script.

My aims going forward would be to consistently work on my script so I can get it finished whilst also working on my research.

This week I have learned that I need to plan previous scenes for it to properly make a connection to the scene that I’m writing.

I am happy with the start of my script and the stories of my characters as it’s something that is personal to me and other people can relate to it.

Problems that I’ve encountered would be to do with the story lines. However, I’ve been thinking of newer story lines that I could include to make the narrative flow smoother.

Next week I am going to build up my script and finish it so then I can edit anything that needs editing and also carry on with my research.

 

Also I have been focusing on my writing and I am really close to finishing it, but I can finish it and edit it ready for it to be printed to be sent off to the actors I need.

But for now I am going to finish gaps in my research like properly explain why LGBT representation is needed and why its important for kids to learn those relationships the same way they learn about heterosexual relationships. LGBT relationships need to be normalised better than they are being and that its normal to feel attraction to the same – sex.
