Spike Interacting with Andrew
Day – Andrew is filming Spike in the hallway of Buffy's house.
SPIKE:
"I thought I told you to piss off with this bloody camera, yet here you are again with that thing in my face. Would you sod off before I rip your throat out and eat y...
(Growling and yelling threateningly at Andrew)
ANDREW:
Uh, Spike? The light was kind of behind you.
(Smiling but cautious)
SPIKE:
Oh, right. Uh... What, is this better, then? - I thought I told you to piss off with that bloody camera; here you are again with that thing in my face. Would you sod off -?"(season7 episode 16)
(Brows furrowed in concentration. Takes a step to the side, menacingly)
ANDREW:
And… cut! End scene.
(Cheerfully)
SPIKE:
How was that?
(Slouched with hands in pockets, worried brow)
ANDREW:
Great! This shot is perfect. You were very convincing.
(Still smiling happily)
SPIKE:
Yeah! ... Err, I mean… Yeah.
(excited … flustered ... cool.)
AN: I edited these scenes because I think that Spike is an interesting character and I wanted to show some insight into his interactions with others. In the first scene, I quoted part of an episode and added to the scene in order to show more of Spikes response to publicity. I did not agree with the way the characters acted in the second scene, so I rewrote it. I wanted to show how my perception of Buffy, Faith and Spike's characters would have been likely to respond to the events in that part of that episode.
I continued the first scene past the point the episode took it. I wanted to coontinue Spikes interaction with Andrew. In the second scene, I kept the same idea and vibe as the original scene but I rewrote the whole scene in my own words, changing the way Spike and Buffy responded to Faith's jibes. One thing I added to the second scene that brought the scene in a new direction was Spike losing his cool and trying to attack Faith.
I really liked writing this script. It turns out that writing this was easier for me than all the other writing projects I have done earlier this year. I believe this to be so because I have experience as a FanFiction author. While I found this project to be relatively easy for me, I realize that the scriptwriters for the TV series have a lot more work to do. They have to plan the next episodes ahead of time so that the series will continue. I think that that would probably be a lot harder than what I did.
