In Witness the language used is very descriptive and is more reminiscent of the way a novel is written than any of the previous scripts we have read. While it still reads like a script, the way the scenes are described are more full bodied and create a specific feel and mood for each scene. By creating this mood and feeling for each scene it is very easy to visualize the events that are taking place. Without such detailed descriptions the reader is forced to come up with his own idea of what the scene should look like, by including such descriptions the author is able to make you visualize what they want you to.
- When reading a script would you rather have the added descriptions to help you visualize what the author had in mind or would you rather have fewer descriptions and fill in the blanks yourself?
- The essay talks about writing duos but didn't seem to address partnering with more than one writer. There have been a number of writing teams with numerous writers such as Monty Python and Broken Lizard. Do you think it would be easier to write with numerous people rather than just one?
