Sharing Pages

In writing my treatment,  I genuinely enjoyed working with someone else because it taught me valuable lessons. For example, I sometimes suffer from writer's block because I tend to overthink some stories which usually sidetracks me. In the end, I am not satisfied with my story because I felt that I could do so much better. However,  by working with Jachelle (hi!) I was able to come up with several different ideas that I was proud of because she would offer advice that kept the story flowing. Our various ideas helped me in leaving behind the usual and boring routine I sometimes take in writing a treatment because I was able to look at several possibilities that I had not previously thought about. This expanded my mind and led my creativity to shine stronger, especially when Jachelle and I managed to combine our ideas to make a story we truly enjoyed.

 

Another reason that I liked working with a partner was the fact that I was able to realize how I could share and combine my ideas with someone. I have never worked with anyone else when it came to writing because the chance had never presented itself which never allowed me to realize what I was missing out on. I knew that Jachelle is also a writer like me, but we had never collaborated in something like this, so I did not know what to expect. However, it was easy to create a story we were proud of because we had similar ideas that made the whole process easier. This also proved to me that it is very interesting and fun to work with someone else, especially in creating a story because such a task can go in various of directions which may result in pleasant outcomes.

 

When I first heard that we had to pitch our story to the class, I was a bit uncertain because I did not know how everyone else was going to view the story. Just because Jachelle and I deemed it worthy, that did not absolutely signify that everyone else would love it. However, this experience was very helpful because it allowed for various of perspectives to shine on the story so that improvements could be made. Through this, all stories can become even better which is something that is very valuable because such improvements may not have been noticed by the original writers. I believe this experience was also helpful in the way that it brought confidence to all the writers because they presented their story and had the chance to defend it. To me, this managed to amount further confidence in all the writers because they truly knew what they were doing and so when it is time to film it,  better product will be the result.  

 

Overall, I enjoyed working with Jachelle in writing a treatment because new ideas were created to make a story we definitely liked. Pitching the story was also very beneficial because it gave room for improvement which will only help--not just in rewriting, but in producing the film.
