Synopsis Development Disscussion - Third Draft

During the discussion we covered:

  • The story still wasn't getting started quick enough. Main problems and stakes for the character need to be established faster. 
  • We discussed a few narrative problems including where the egg hits the window (which part of the house) 
  • Conventions of professional synopsis writing. No use of phrases such as "you see..." 
  • Lost opportunities to build tension, build them up with visual techniques. 
Upon self-reflection I though about what Marilyn Milgrim had commented on in her article "The Script"
 
It made me consider her point about unity, stating that you must learn something new about the character of problem with each scene. I thought to bear this in mind strongly when writing my fourth draft.
