Today myself and my friend (who happens to be an actor too - and she's also Irish for that matter...) met up in the gorgeous setting of Columbia flower market to discuss self-devising an original scene with our screen reels in mind. We agreed that the material in our screen reels should represent who we are - and, by writing original material which is tailored specifically to who we are, I think we can achieve this.
As we chatted and chatted under the late February blue skies (tantalising us with the 'coming soon' summer sun) - we came to a realisation that we could base the writing in the scene around some of the topics we naturally talked about during our catch up. Basically, the scene we devised was a continuation of our conversation. The subject matters were slightly over-dramatised in our first draft - and the names used were all change to protect identification. The script flowed and we included some topics we had touched on whilst always being mindful to add humour.
When I got in this evening - I typed out our first draft. Have a read if you care to! Feedback always welcome.
I learnt today that when script-writing; as realistic as you want it to be, you must also tailor it slightly bearing in mind you are performing it for an audience.
