The 2nd Draft

Yesterday, I wrote about the first draft of a script that I'm working on for a short film for the BFI Film Academy. Today, I'm writing about the second draft that I wrote. With the second draft I attempted to cut out all of the confusing bits, or at least cut them down a little. I added in a structure that was a bit more interesting for the viewer, and I tried to give Dawn, the main character, a bit more of a personality.

However, after a discussion with one of the professional writers that came in to the Academy, I decided it still wasn't up to scratch. And so, work on the third draft has begun. But I'll talk about that another time.

The Dark Knight Rises: Ending Theories

SPOILER ALERT- SPOILERS OF THE DARK KNIGHT RISES LIE AHEAD

The Dark Knight Rises is the cinema event of the year, a loud, bombastic, clever, engaging super-hero movie. Christopher Nolan and his team did an incredible job with the film, and I thoroughly enjoyed it; it's made it's way into my top 10 favourite films of all time, nestled between Alien and The Dark Knight (I decided that, whilst the two films are on par in my opinion, as it stands at the moment I would rather watch the final installment over the 2nd film). But despite the film's triumph, the ending of The Dark Knight Rises had cinemagoers confused. In this article, I will attempt to explain the ending.
