MDA2100 - One Night Only - Full Draft

This is the first fully completed draft for One Night Only.


After presenting the script in University, I had class feedback and received the following tips:

  • Dialogue needs to be more subtle, it is too expositional and bulky
  • Too much of the story is in the past, brought up and not a major part of the film
  • Need more drama - perhaps 'Harry' makes an appearance and adds more of a dramatic climax and adds more to Sean's development
  • Perhaps turn the melancholy around in a more obvious way
  • Not the best idea to have the feelings shown relying on Sean's explanation of them
  • Micromanaging - Too much direction in action and parenthesis
  • Actions need to be more succinct, it is too cluttered and slowed down - I need to only mention what is essential to forwarding the story in the script
  • Why does this happen to Sean today? - So far it is dramatic convenience
  • Nothing in the script so far seems strong enough to 'tip' Sean to change
  • Dialogue is too on-the-nose
  • To many elipses, hesitations and pauses
