Fred’s Scene Ratings
What I learned from this assignment is that the high entertainment value scores often had a twist, or original take on an idea that made the scene interesting in a refreshing way. However, the low scores were all boring because they only conveyed information without any intriguing action/visual sequence. The more I can come up with creative ideas to spice up mundane plot points, the more entertainment value my script will hold.
