BSA 331 - Week 11/12

After a small feedback session from Ash, I was told that my script was missing some sort of spark or sub-plot. After looking up at some websites about what subplot is, I have a small idea on what a subplot is.

"A subplot often involves a relationship of some kind, the theme being love, loss or staying strong. This gives the characters in the script a chance to be “human”, to show them as real people with relationships and feelings."

Figuring out how to add a subplot into my short film script would be really hard. I think I will need to play and look through more between the character of Dave who's the inspector and his wife. I might also look into putting BJ into a threatening situation with Dave knowing about his wife & kids.

With this, I think it is also important for me to watch more crime genre films and catch their subplot and see how it ties into the film.

I usually find adding and changing things in my script hard as I usually write as I go. This would be a challenge that I can set for myself to work on before Duncan comes and gives his feedback. I will also be passing a copy of my script to Matt or James on Monday after doing some small changes to the script.
