For my first time writing a research script, I don't think i did too poorly. While discussing genre topic, I felt that I managed to stay relevant and on track. I backed up my claims with evidence and used cultural reference to support my thoughts and ideas. I felt that i lacked with film technique and used little to no exact technical terms. If i ever write a research script in the future i will make it a habit to to further cinematic research.

I felt that I managed to engage the target to the best of my ability. I provided interesting background and visual that combined with complex and constructed ideas to inform and educate the audience. I didn't dwell on one subject or theme for too long and kept the structure of the piece rather progressive. I provided more than enough information and detail to leave the target engaged and interested. In the future I could add more variation as I tend to repeat a few scenes in the final product.

I didn't cite many, if any, sources in the finished script and i regret doing so. It is important to have various opinions tied together in one piece otherwise the final outcome becomes completely singular. In order for a research script to become credible. It must contain various perspectives and evaluate every side of the spectrum in order to assess a theme or topic. I will need to do more research next time and incorporate it into my script rather than relying on my own thoughts and opinions. This was hard in the first place because I ended up picking a film with a small amount of related articles and info. It was also based on a true story so articles involving the real "Ip Man" were more common.

I believed I was exemplary in describing the visual and audio renditions of my script. Each scene I mentioned would be easy to single out and add to the finished project if one was made. I described scenes in ways that were easy to distinguish from one another and I coupled them with audio soundbites and descriptions that matched. One thing I could do that would make the script even more organized would be to insert specific quotes from the scenes where needed.

All the scenes I used matched the audio descriptions they were paired with. None of the shots seemed out of place or awkward and they complimented the vocals. I described scenes as they played out and not too far behind or too far forward from their appearance. I think overall I did a good job in writing my first research script. As previously stated I wished that I had added more outside sources and explored more technique in my analysis of both films.
