1.) Finish writing the entire draft. (missing the last 20 minutes of the film)
2.) Add more detail about the documentary into my first paragraph/first sentence.
3.) Revise each paragraph to eliminate any extra information or repeated information.
4.) Make sure that the key scenes in the documentary are the ones I've spent the most time on and make sure that everything is in chronological order.
5.) Filter through the paragraphs to make sure I was really descriptive of what was said and what was seen in each specific scene so that the reader can picture what is going on.
6.) Have someone peer edit to have a second opinion on my writing and to catch any errors.
7.) Make all corrections and put together the entire final draft.
These are the things that I am sure I need to do in order to have a well written final draft. I'm sure along the way of completing these things I will find other minor things I could do to improve my final draft as well!
Good list!
ReplyDeleteLet's change a habit: You write, " I was really descriptive of what was said and what was seen in each specific scene," and I see you using various past tense verb constructions. Maybe get in the habit of using PRESENT tense even to describe the writing about the text. This may shift your habit so that you will eventually write, " I am really descriptive of what is said and what happens in each specific scene". See?
I had some struggles doing this paper as well. It was tough but I was finally able to push through and finish.
