碩士 / 國立臺北藝術大學 / 電影創作研究所碩士班 / 97 / In college I watched a documentary, Voices of Orchid Island. The people and geographical landscape in Orchid Island has attracted special attention of me. Then stimulated by top-selling love comedy film, Cape No. 7, in the Taiwan, I start to write Blue Ocean. This script sets outsiders from Taiwan go to Orchid Island for shooting tourist program as story background. After protagonists arrive in Orchid Island, they discover more than half of production costs are cheated out of, and first half of production made no progress. Then female protagonist, who has no professional background, takes on the role of making the progress of the production. In the process, male and female protagonists come to know each other, have feeling toward each other and eventually become lovers.
In order to write this script, I went to Orchid Island to make field interviews and obtain first-hand information. After making contacts with local residents in interviews, the people, events and things were getting weighted in my hearts. Therefore, while revising, script was tilted, adding a number of plots to depict hardship Tao faced and conflicts and contradictions tourism brought. After giving more thought, I realized if the script emphasizes on serious issues, audience may not absorb. Additionally, if the script dwells too much on conflicts of practical issues, it will also upset the sense of a comedy. After multiple conciliation and modification, the script came back to the point where all the practical problems were only touched and not went far, and the script was changed as love-centered. However, script’s completion was criticized harshly by the instructor, and I accept instructor’s suggestion to rewrite the whole script.
This critique essay also explains scenario structures, creative origins and role analysis.
In the past, my creative nutrients were mostly from viewing and reading, but for writing the script, I actually went to Orchid Island to collect information. During interviews, distinctive, yet warm and cheerful respondents on Orchid Island talked about their stories and ideas. Listening to their true stories, the people and the things can broaden my narrow vision and can be ideas to other scripts.
In the future, I wish to be able to create successful commercial scripts and secure market recognition. These require mature creative works and market analysis capabilities. I deeply feel my lack of abilities, which I am still groping. There is no end to learning so I will continue to work hard in this direction, hoping to be successful.
