Josh's advanced level of creativity in writing allowed us to create a conventional Film Noir script that suits the visual aspect to the film perfectly. As a team, we worked really well with me creating the general structure for the script and Josh developed the content. Josh had previous experience with writing a script for an A-level therefore no previous research was needed; he taught me how to effectively make a script and the stage directions are a great aspect because the reader becomes aware of the narrative without watching the extract.
On the other hand, it was often hard to reach a final decision on the voice overs, the two of us eventually made a decision but it could be argued that time was wasted during this process.
When creating the script, I have learnt that my creative levels are not to the quality of others.
