I’m currently trying to get the beginning of the first draft of a documentary script written, and I could use your help and knowledge. I’m looking for examples to refer to in the opening few paragraphs of dialogue, and could use your help in the comments below.
As part of the documentary I’m making, I use the concept of ‘suspension of disbelief’ to help lead into the actual topic I’m covering. This concept of course refers to things that books, films and television programmes throw at us that we simply have to just accept, regardless of how implausible, ludicrous or overly convenient they may be.
One example, if not a poor one, is in ‘Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen’ where the U.S Navy just so happen to have a weapon able to take down Devastator with a single shot, or perhaps the other example of just how an entire battle group of armoured vehicles and reserve troops magically appear as reinforcements in the final battle only minutes after getting the order to ‘go’. Don’t even get me started on the convenient resurrection of Sam toward the end…
Any help welcome! If you can quote several from one source, please feel free.
Good night, and good luck.
P.S I may be a Transformers fan boi, but I can still criticise the plot.
