Question 1) What is your acid burn from reading the script OF The Shawshank Redemption? Is this the same acid burn you had while watching the movie, or is it different? If it's the same acid burn: Why do you think that is? If it's a different acid burn: Why do you think that is?
How is the experience of watching a film different from reading the screenplay? How are they the same? What is the value of each experience?
Question 2) If you want to transcribe the first 10 minutes of the film.
after you transcribed, are you surprised by the differences between the two scripts?
What did you think about the differences between your "version" of the script and Darabont's (in particular, the way the action lines are written)?
What did you learn from the transcription assignment?
Question 3) It's said that every film is written twice: once on the page and one in the editing room. I find, when watching a film and reading the screenplay back to back, it's a fun exercise to see what changed from script to screen. With that in mind, what are some of the differences you noticed between the screenplay and the finished film?
Why do you think those changes were made?
In your opinion, which version "works" better?
Question 4) Considering the everyday users of IMDb have overwhelmingly ranked The Shawshank Redemption as the greatest film of all time, why do you think this film connects with audiences? Is it the characters? Theme? Story? Cinematography? All of the above? Something else? Help me understand!!
