It has come to the point where the final assignment is starting to become talk about in class discussions. This terrifies me, as I don’t really have any idea what I am going to write about, nor do I have any past experience in screen writing that I can pray will get me through. I spoke in my previous blog post about my desire to morph and provoke convention. However, the reality of satire is upon me, and although I’d love to be able to complete it I am too nervous to start.

Obviously, this is a test within itself. As I am already critically analysing work which I have no yet produced, but only thought about and qualm in self doubt with. So, with this awareness I downloaded Final Draft and clicked the right buttons to get me into its portal without having to pay (currently on a free trial). This, I know is the first step in completing the scary final assignment. If I was to write a screen play about myself in this moment, it would be something like this

Joss, 20, clicks open Final Draft on her computer. Computer wears one environmentally
active sticker.

Joss, types words ‘the blue sky’, before backspacing to the word ‘the’. The mouse curser slowly,
very slowly, moves up into the right hand side of the computer screen. Then, clicks on the search
key. Joss types in ‘dictionary’ and clicks on the app. The app appears in the computer screen
and Joss searches the word ‘blue’.

Joss finds the synonyms for blue ‘aqua’. The mouse then proceeds to click on Safari and enter word
‘aqua’. The mouse taps the ‘images’ icon and scrolls meaninglessly before clicking a ‘blue’ and
setting it as the computer’s background, which currently houses a photo of a Koala.

Or something like that…
