Screenplay adaptation task reflection

I worked in a pair with Iona on creating a screenplay adapted from a short extract of the novel ‘1984’ by Orwell, 1948.

I personally found this task quite difficult due to the time limit we had to complete it (15 mins). It was also my first time creating a screenplay in the specific format which took a lot of concentration to do correctly while also trying to think of what is important (or not) to add into the screenplay. Now I have some practice with creating a screenplay in the correct format I believe next time it will be easier for me to take on. Also, creating a screenplay with an original idea that I can visualise will be a lot easier for me to turn into a screenplay, rather than adapting an existing piece which I don’t have as strong of vision of.
