Make it memorable


  1.  One thing I noticed about how he writes is that he likes to ask questions, and then answer them. Multiple times throughout the book he asks a question and will tell you how he would go about doing it. “How do you write a longer story at the speed of spot news? This is how I do it: “(20, Dotson).  He also breaks it all up into little paragraphs and titles the paragraphs so even if you skim through you can still get what he wants you to understand and what he wants you to learn.
  2.  I learned different ways to write a script and when writing a script, how to make it good. He said how most people answer the question and why they answer it that way. He also said that when you’re writing a script that it would be easiest to start in the middle.  He also said that you shouldn’t throw any thoughts away. You may not need them now but they may come in handy later and be able to help you with another part of the story.
  3. With the scripts on the left side it is explaining the action that is going on and what the people in the shot are doing and the right side it what they are saying and who is saying what. The right side is the dialogue that is going on between them and the narration that is happening.
  4.  In this video he is confronting her on something that happened and they are sitting across from each other as they talk. The room is bright and has a lot of natural light coming in. They are in a comforting setting with flowers around them and warm colors to make it comforting.  As for foreshadowing he kind of brings up things he wants to touch on later in the story and makes that known. He brings up how he thinks that she know what she did was wrong and that it would be hard for her to tell her kids. You can tell what is going to be brought up and what is going to be touched on.  He talks about her arrest and how she delt with it and asked what was going on and why it got to that point. She knew what she did was wrong and you can tell that she truly was sorry. She said she took full responsibility and looking back knew that it was wrong and in the future is going to be much more careful and safe. You could tell that she knew she was acting childish when she is an adult and has children of her own to take care of. She knows that this experience has helped her grow and that she doesn’t know everything like she thought she did.
