I found writing the script very different from what I am used to, in my previous productions the scripts tended to be simple and down to earth, regarding modern day items such as phones, cars and such. With this project, I was working with concepts such as Artificial Intelligence, Genetic Engineering, Robotic Mech, Spaceships and much more.
This change in style was quite a change and I struggled at first to keep things sounding plausible and yet still at the edge of fantasy. My biggest struggle was working through writer's block, In this project, I did set myself a schedule, at first it was one page per day, then two per day and so on. I would sit down to try and write and be unable to think of anything to put on the page.
Because of this I started to run out of time and I think that reflected in my work, I also would decide to change small parts of the story throughout the script writing process which would require me to change large parts of the script.
Researching the creator didn't yield many results, aside from basic facts there wasn't much about his art style, in the few interviews he had done his answers were very short.
In my next project, I will try to plan the story out better, perhaps making bullet points for each scene to look at whenever I get stuck and creating a better timeline so I can keep track of what I need to write and when it happens.
I also think I need to work on some creative exercises, perhaps setting myself a goal of creating a short story idea once a day, even if its bad this should help me be able to generate ideas. I will also try creating different characters and given them different voices and speech patterns as I feel like my characters sounded quite similar in the way they speak.
All in all I know I can do better, but I'm happy with what I produced it was a nice change from writing drama scripts and so on but I would like to be able to create my own universe for the script rather than trying to adapt one to my script.
