1. I noticed that bob Dotson likes to write his bits of information that he has gathered in lots of different little chunks. He does not seem to write one long continued story, rather he tends to tell you about something, and then move on. Lots of the time it will be a paragraph or a few and then there will be a section break and a new heading as to what he’s moving on to next. Examples are “Working fast” is one paragraph, then “How to write a good opening line is also just a few paragraphs.
2. I learned from pages 9-27 that it’s a very good idea to start working from the middle with your film. It’s much easier to come up with the main parts of your story than wasting time trying to find a good opening line. The opening line is easier to find if you paraphrase a second soundbite of the same person.
3. The left column seems to have the details that you can’t see going on in the shot, and the right Is the dialogue and who’s doing the talking in the scene. I think it’s split that way to help the reader get a better image of what is going on. What’s interesting about them is the amount of detail that it adds to the story, and how well you can visualize it.
