1. When we were first introduced to the Script Frenzy Project I was actually really excited. I thought it would have been a fantastic opportunity to work on a script that I already had an idea for. I thought that adhereing to a set timeline and deadlines would help me stay focused and motivated.
2. I thought the way that this class implimted this project was so awful I cannot describe it in school appropriate words. First off, we didn't even DO script frenzy. We literally spent weeks talking about arbitrary, elementary things such as "different kinds of scripts", as opposed to actually writing the scripts during the month of April. Don't get me wrong, I totally understand that character developments and outlines are essential to writing scripts, but we spent entitely too much time on these things. By the time we even started writing, April was over. Yet you still expected us to write one hundred pages.
3. Character development and the outlines were helpful, but like I said before we spent too much time on them. The rest of the "planning" time was literally the biggest waste of class time I have ever experienced in an English class, and that is saying something. We are not stupid. We know the difference between a movie script and a television script and do not need to spend forever and a day talking about it.
