This is the script for the video I had made, I tried to make it as easy and understandable as possible by incorporating a key & legend at the beginning. This is the complete script that i feel is a sufficient amount of questions for me to animate. Initially, I had in mind much more questions but after creating the first minute, i realized that animating is a much longer process than I had perceived. There are still revisions as I want this to be as Western as possible, so I will fix some slang and such into the script.

Amidst the construction of the script for my RIP project, an issue I ran into was that Jack is a modern figure and character. Often, my interpretation of his answers were far too outdated and reverted traditionally to the stereotypical cowboy. For example, in a question that asked what Jack would bring with him if he were stranded on an island, I had made Jack respond with his cowboy hat, whiskey, and a gun. Professor Keeler had mentioned that Jack bringing the gun was an issue. Jack had was a sheep herding cowboy in a neo western homosexual romance novel, yet I had failed to notice that. And instead, I gave him traditional cowboy attributes that over compensated for my goal of enhancing the western feature in my video. Due to this, I had to modify that, Jack would not regularly use a gun like his ancestors, but would insteadtake influence from his predecessors and find it necessary for his own self defense (a purposeful incorporation because, much of Texas supports carrying around guns- and Jack comes from Texas.) 

This is shown in: 

Question: "If you were stranded on an island, what are 3 things you would bring with you?"

Jack's initial response: "That’s a pretty darn given. I would bring my cowboy hat, whiskey, and a gun."

Edited Response: "That’s a pretty darn given. I would bring my cowboy hat, whiskey, and although I aint to savvy with it like my ancestors, a revolver for food and defense."

While this seems like a mild edit, it would be the catalyst for my to solve other plot holes in my script. Because I was aware that the script would be a pretty important part of this project, as it would tie the fluidity and how comprehensible my video was, I tried by best to organize this script to consolidate my ideas in a realistic sequence. In the end, my script was compiled with a legend and color coded. Initially, I thought that the section about my America's Next Top Cowboy video had made sense- but it had only been understandable for me because it was a direct list of ideas of what I was envisioning. Professor Keeler pointed it out that it was confusing, so I fixed the format of that block within my script entailing for the America's Next Top Model side animation. I added notes and comments on some parts I felt may perplex other people to simplify what was going on.
