Production Diary Weeks Two and Three

During the second and third weeks, we came up with a list of the key characters and wrote the script. Below is a list of the central characters:

Elissa -  Elissa is a bright, hard-working late teenage girl who has gained entry to the University of her dreams. Elissa and her long-term boyfriend, Ethan, have dreamed of going to University together, however Ethan does not make the grades to get in to Edinburgh. She is now faced with the choice of either going to Edinburgh but leaving Ethan or staying with Ethan but leaving behind her dream.

Ethan - Ethan is quite the opposite of his long-standing girlfriend in terms of attitude towards education. He sees going out with his friends and having a drink as far more important than sitting at home revising. This becomes apparent with his failure to get into Edinburgh University. As much as he loves Elissa, he does not want her to throw her life away for him.

We then began work on our scripts. We found the easiest way to do this was to each write a scene individually and then bring it to the group to make improvements/amendments.
