BEYOND THE BOUNDARIES: Finishing Version 2 of the Script... in Starbucks?
Even though we had started working on the script after all of the restructuring, it was going slow... very very slow... therefore me and Lauren thought that to write the script we possibly needed a change of environment... and lots of coffee.
Using the breakdown as reference, we examined each section and tried to make the dialogue seem more natural, but we also focused allot on character development, as from our research this was a really important part of our story.
To establish both characters in the first section we shuffled the dialogue around. We also tried to add some of their personality traits within the interviews (eg. CGI Guy checks his hair in a mirror during the interview).
A scene that originally involved a gag with sandwiches and the cursor has now been re-written with a funnier coffee scene, that happens during the interview, and also contains the "triple mocha frappa lacka macha chino latte" reference from one of our first year films.
A conclusion has also been written in, and the script in general has improved pacing.

During writing the script i noticed that when you are in a calm and more social environment, like a cafe, it seems to be allot easier to write and come up with ideas, and i will definitely keep that in mind when i need to write a script.
Also, when picking a cafe to write a script it has to be open till late... we were in there for 4 hours...
