08_ Adaptation

    About the writing script, I read the Chinatown script for this week. I know Chinatown many years ago and doesn't really watch it. At the beginning I thought it's a drama about Asian people in the Chinatown. But obviously it not what I thought, it's a Suspense film and not thing really about Asian.

    I realize in the movie script, they use the location and maybe what kind of camera should have at that scene. They usually write down every acting parts, I realize that is the reason why every actor/actress will get the movie script at the beginning. So they can understand what kind of character is it, and how they should act. It's important to know how their character moves and what kind of emotion they should have at that moment. And in the scripts also talking about the environment setting which interaction with players, it is about basic environment idea I guess. The dialogues in the script are necessary, so the player can know what kind of conversation and what is their character's mood in that scene.

    I'm doing computer animation graduation thesis right now, and it in the pre-production processing. Writing down the beat is the most important thing before we get into the storyboard. Every beat are talking about how camera moves and the how characters act. The atmosphere of the scene and what happens there. It's kind of similar as the movie script I think. They all talking about what kind of element should have in every scene. I believe the function of these script are to make the reader understand what happen at that moment, and what kind of setting there. It make all the producer easier to start the production.
