Blog #6--Research Script 2

Yay!!! We get to look at another research script! Will this one live up to Jason's awesome script, or will it fail to reach such incredible standards? Follow along with me and we'll find out.

First off, before I dwelve into the questions that Mr. Bigue wished for us to answer, there is one immediate problem that I noticed about his research script. It looks as if he's looking at 6 different movies! Holy #%@*, how the bloody hell is he gonna look at 6 different films in the maximum alloted pages (15)? Even worse, he only has 13 pages...it already looks like he's set himself up for failure. Also, this is incredibly hard to read vertically--someone should teach him the right format!

1. How this writer structured his discussion of the topic?
Blah, he suckes so bad in this script. He doesn' narrate this one in his own voice, rather he relies on two fictional narrators to narrate the story. Even so, the flow of the script felt slow. He took a long time to get into his topic, so most of the script ended up being his narrators blabbering on aobut the history of social realism. I suppose it would be worthwile to mention this, but it needs to happen fast, rather than take like 3ish pages.

2. What visuals did he use to enhance the v.o. narration?
He used visuals from the films to support his ideas. I think he did ok here.

3. What topics and references he researched to get his information.
Most of his sources are from online, which is ok, but he needs a variety of sources. He also has some videocassettes, but still though, where are the books and the interview referances?

4. Look at the rubric and give the script a score and explain why.
I'd score this as a 15. He has some good points that are necessary to consider, but he overwhelms himself in too many different films, therefore, his analysis is short and not fully developed. He also spends to much time on an introduction/history and a conclusion, so this throws of the pacing of the script/film. His largest hinderance is the format and narrators, which are both wrong...completely.
