Blog 12~ Scene in a Scene


            The Adventure Time scene we chose was both of our favorites from the second episode we made. I believe that the greatest strength of the scene was the comic relief we incorporated into it. There were many different interacting characters bouncing off of one another and making it extremely funny to those who are familiar with Adventure Time. Throughout all of our script we tried to put in characters from different episodes, but this scene particularly really did that well. When I read it over it still makes me laugh, and I can really see in my head this being an episode and flowing well.
            I am very proud of this scene because we put together a lot of interesting ideas and scrambled them to get this. With the amount of time we had we created a lot of quality work. However there are some issues with the scene. The formatting as well as punctuation really needs improvement I noticed as I was rereading the scene for our classmates. One of our classmates gave us the feedback that we needed a more descriptive background on the characters. I do believe that Adventure Time can be hard to follow unless you’ve seen all of the episodes, but I think the randomness in the scene followed how the show usually goes pretty well.
            If we were to rewrite the scene I think we should add more description to each of the acts. Not necessarily having a narrator talk about the characters, but have the picture that’s in our head on the paper. As a writer we see what we’re trying to convey in the script, but it is important to make it so that the reader can see the scene how we see it exactly. Where the Cosmic Owl talked to Finn about math, there should be a flashback to his first and only appearance in the show. This might help the reader to piece together the scene better. Also there are certain screen shots that I could see adding to the scene as a whole.
