Script Revisions

This next week I will begin the next draft of the script. A lot of great comments were made at the read through I had last week and it should make the movie that much more exciting.

Some things I will be changing are: character intentions, ways characters emulate power and manipulation, character backgrounds. The attempt is to make the characters more unique and to allow the audience to develop compassion for certain characters.

At a Q&A screening of WATCHMEN with Zach Snyder I heard him make a really good point. You want to create a character that the audience feels attached to and has compassion for and begins to trust. Then when the character reaches their breaking point the audience will feel it that much more, almost feeling betrayed by the character they have grown to like so much. In The Celsius Effect that idea can be of extreme value.
