Emmanuel’s Filled In Missing Scenes!
What I learned doing this assignment is taking a break from the first draft and then reading it again, you always find scenes and dialogue that don’t work and need improvement or gaps to fill in.

Lee’s Filled in Missing Scenes
What I learned doing this assignment is…that doing this first pass through to script to find places for missing scenes, etc. is really a lot of fun. It’s cool to go through the script as a whole and see how it’s working, and put in placeholders, etc. for stuff that will make it work better.
My Procedure
– First, I just read through the entire script
– As I went, I put placeholder scenes in quite a few spots, along with a little summary of what I wanted to happen there.
– I did a lot of correcting and adding to/subtracting from a lot of current scenes. I tried not to spend too much time on these kinds of things, though.
– I actually wrote out a few missing scenes throughout the script. Most of these scenes were necessary to make the overall script flow better, and also to give other perspectives to what’s going on. I especially put in a few more Antagonist scenes, as I’d virtually ignored them during the first draft.
– But there’s a lot more to be done.
– It was nice to have TWO DAYS to do this rather than just one :)!
– I purposely didn’t put any specific scenes in this post because I didn’t want to copy the whole script in with the placeholders and all again. It didn’t seem like that was what you wanted to see this time.

Ed filled in missing scenes.
What I learned doing this assignment is I notice I loose some momentum after the first rough draft was completed. Probably because the process get’s more analytical now with the bulk of the story told. Dig deeper is not as easy.
With my story, there’s a logistical issue with my Protagonist on the run, interacting with other characters is either not possible, or takes more creativity to make a scene meaningful and work within the story line.
Added Scenes
Via text messages – Henry relationship with Neighbor Basil become more romantic.
Via watching video – Henry’s parents discover what Henry is up to. They experience his growth and transformation as does the audience watching these scenes/video.
Bridge via slanted News report – Henry’s plans. Viewing. audience’s negative reaction.
Cute Meet Up Scene – Surprise ! Basil meets with Henry at his moment of defeat. Her presence and words inspires him to succeed and they share a first kiss.
