Here’s a blurry copy of my Book 2: Chapters 1&2 notes:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It’s all chicken scratch and involves things that ended up not being important.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As the person who does the re-cap at the beginning of each episode, the absolute minimum notes I take on an episode is a scene-by-scene description of what’s happening. This is something that I’ve picked up from Screenwriting school – reverse engineering a structure.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Something like the Air Ball race in the Book Two premiere would be something like:<\/p>\n

“Air Temple Island – Korra abuses Avatar power w\/AirKids (immaturity) Tenzin announces trip to air temples (immaturity react)”<\/em><\/p>\n


<\/em>There you have the main setting, the main characters and a loose idea of what the purpose of the scene was (Korra has the Avatar state but not maturity and Tenzin knows, is still trying to train her).\u00a0<\/p>\n

Granted, it’s hard to do that AND focus on all the little things, so occasionally I forgo the motivation stuff until I can do a speedy re-watch right before we podcast.<\/p>\n

For that, Nick.com and iTunes have been great so far.\u00a0<\/p>\n

HOWEVER – when reviewing a film or play or anything where I have to watch in the dark, I don’t take notes. I know Patches does, but I do not. For that, I take it more like I used to take lectures at school: if the idea stimulates me enough to remember it, it must have been important. : )<\/p>\n
