Fiction Adaptation: Scripts

Draft 1

Improvements:

-The beginning with the lions and the forest sequence could be more relevant to the theme of physics, since this is central to the film. They could show experiments or the character making an experiment over time in order to finish the paper.

Draft 2

Changes:

-Made the beginning more relevant to physics by adding the volcano. This also heightens the emotion since it represents her panic and fear bubbling inside.
-Changed the forest sequence to one at an observatory -- couldn't get location permission for the forest sequence, but this also makes it more relevant to physics so better shows the character's journey

Improvements:

-Specify more of the action in the observatory sequence, such as trying out the experiments.

Draft 3

Changes:

-The observatory sequence became the nostalgia sequence with the science projects -- couldn't get location permission and going back through the character's history with the subject helps show the audience how far she has come and highlights her love for the subject.

Improvements:

-Could cut the last sequence since this repetition is implied by the label on her head at the end.
