Only My Scriptwriting

Two More Establishing Shots

Two More Establishing Shots

All I needed to write today was ten paragraphs to finish writing the Act One Scene Outline for my Water Wars scriptwriting project. Unfortunately, that’s almost all I got accomplished today. And the worst part is I don’t know why I only got twelve paragraphs written today for this project.

Those last two paragraphs were written for the two Establishing Shots that started Act Two of Episode One of this Scene Outline. These two paragraphs didn’t take that long to write. It was the other ten paragraphs I had written. And I don’t know why.

I’m a little surprised about my Establishing Shots. I have problems writing them. After all, they are all basically the same. It’s how I write them that’s different. The first one is a view from space. And the second is usually a few from water above and below it.

That’s a little explanation about my Establishing Shots. Especially, the Establishing Shots that start each Act. Now it’s time to go back to the main focus of this blog entry. Why didn’t I get more written today on this project? The answer to that is I don’t know.

What is the usual reason why I don’t get more writing done that day? It’s usually a lack of sleep, a lack of concentration, or what my brother and I had to do today. I think it was a combination of all three as the reason why I didn’t get more writing done today.

I thought I got about seven to eight hours of sleep last night. But after what happened to me yesterday I must not have gotten as much as I thought. That may be true. After all, I did have some problems getting to sleep because of the scrapes on my hands and feet.

Because of the lack of sleep, I may have had a lack of concentration too. I know I had some problems writing a few of these paragraphs today. It wasn’t what I wanted to say, but how I was going to say it. Maybe I didn’t have a lack of concentration today. But that would explain my writing.

Most of my problems of not getting too much writing done today were because of what my brother and I had to do today. We went back to our old place. But it took us about an hour to get back there. As a result, we were about an hour late in leaving there.

I only had about five hours of writing time today. That may explain why I didn’t get more writing done today. But it doesn’t explain it that much. After all, those first ten paragraphs were about twenty-five minutes each. That’s too long of a time for each paragraph.

Hopefully, tomorrow will be a whole lot better. I will be starting with the first numeric scene for Act Two. That means I will have thirty paragraphs to finish writing this Act. That’s only for the numeric scenes. I don’t think I will have any Establishing Shots, but I might.
