Abstract

ABSTRACT Screenwriting within the Academy creates opportunities for female writers to question and challenge traditional and industrial approaches to script development. The two writer-researchers use critical conversation as a form of collaborative reflection to examine how personal experiences inform their script development processes. Situating the creative practice within the context of research reveals how the reflexive approach to script development can unearth broader concerns regarding agency and representations of female characters on screen. Sue Cake identifies how writing narrative comedy became an act of disruption against the neoliberal corporatisation of education. A kind of self-disruption occurred as the insights gained from parodying powerful emotional experiences led to a transformative shift in her perspective of those experiences. For Louise Sawtell, reflecting on key memories and experiences prompted her to develop female-driven narratives that expand the scope of representation for under-represented female protagonists. She weaves memory and imagination together to innovate the form and structure of an anthology film. This article argues that the Academy is a critical site for female screenwriting researchers to explore and disrupt dominant script development practices.
颠覆自我:学院内部的剧本开发
学院的编剧为女性作家创造了质疑和挑战传统和工业剧本开发方法的机会。两位作家和研究人员将批判性对话作为一种合作反思的形式,研究个人经历如何影响他们的剧本开发过程。将创作实践置于研究背景下,揭示了剧本开发的反射性方法如何挖掘出对女性角色在银幕上的代理和表现的更广泛关注。Sue Cake指出,写叙事喜剧是如何成为对新自由主义教育公司化的破坏行为的。当从模仿强大的情感体验中获得的见解导致她对这些体验的看法发生了变革性的转变时,一种自我颠覆发生了。对Louise Sawtell来说,对关键记忆和经历的反思促使她发展出女性驱动的叙事,扩大了代表性不足的女性主角的代表范围。她将记忆和想象交织在一起,创新了一部选集电影的形式和结构。本文认为,学院是女性编剧研究人员探索和颠覆主流剧本开发实践的关键场所。
