This week after receiving peer assessment from Maria on my script I found it difficult to begin work on my follow-up draft. This was mostly due to the fact that the majority of the feedback was positive apart from a small issue with character intentions (Rufus feeling guilt towards the deceased young boy over his jealousy of death). To fix this I expanded some solo dialogue for Rufus after the boy’s funeral – but not too much as a lot of the character intentions and goals I want to be hinted at but never shown – this way it will allow readers to find things out for themselves. For example, Rufus’ oncoming death is hinted at throughout the script in the form of his worsening health (his coughs in particular), the idea of Death taking Rufus’ wife away is also never fully explained but it strongly hinted at (especially within the climax) – it’s moments like these that I feel add layers to the script and help me to create a lasting story.
