Task 3 Audio Cut Sequence Scripts

Use Celtx software to produce
a 2 page script featuring two characters. This will form the narrative basis
for your audio cut sequence production. Your script pages must include
correctly formatted character names,
character dialogue and action description that clearly
indicates reference to sounds that will feature in your audio cut sequence.
You must produce an initial
draft and a final draft. Your final draft is expected to refine and improve
upon the initial draft you produce.
Initial Draft
This is my own personal script that I created, it is around 1 page long and consists of 4 main characters.
Final Draft
This is the Final Draft for our script we decided to change it quite alot compared to the original as there was lots of errors and quotes or ideas we thought would be better.
