2 points that I took away from Kathryn Millard’s journal ‘Writing for the Screen: Beyond the Gospel of Story’ are the importance of production notes and the benefit of improvisation. Millard emphasises the importance of collecting imagery, sounds and other resources that help to create a tone or feeling that is desired. This is similar to a designer creating a mood board to keep a collection appropriate and complementary. Millard explaining the benefit of improvisation was comforting to me as the pressure of producing a comprehensive script at the start of the production process is daunting and stressful for me. The fact that it is encouraged to play around and see what works best, throw out ideas and come up with new ones throughout the process relieves some of the pressure of having everything strictly conforming to the script.
