Scriptwriter

Have you ever heard of Oscar Wilde, Shakespeare or Lloyd Fernando?
They are just some of famous playwrights exist in drama world.
What about Rahimah, Siti Asiah and Siti Aminah? Have you ever heard of these three playwrights? Maybe not YET.hahahaha. Maybe NEVER.
These people are just trying to make a script for one act play for their drama class.
Let me tell you their journey in making their first draft of the script. Well, first they had made up their mind that they wanted to make a horror story. But as they tried, they failed. Why? Easy, they are not well prepared to instill the horror in the script. Trying to figure out the storyline at first lead them to writers’ block where they are stuck in finding the right conflict for the characters. Especially in finding the appropriate conflict for form 4 students to understand. Then come the length of the dialogue. For just 15 minutes play, how long can a character talk at a time. The fair divide of time among the characters had to be think through so all the characters had to be equally important. And in order to increase the suspense and decrease the lameness of the characters again, these three ‘playwright’ to be face enormous problems. But as they finished making the script they felt that the script is acceptable to be sent as the first draft.

FYI: the three ‘playwright’ to be are - me and my friends completing the first assignment…
