More Script Editing

Today, I decided to put our script on a script software which would give us the best way to write it in proper script format.

Here it is on the programme:

Before I had done this I had just written it up on a word document which I set out in script format as I had looked up how to make it like a screen written script.

Here it is on a word document:

 

We have also come up with the name for our film which we have decided to be “Daisy Chain”

Editing the Script

We have amended our scipt even more and changed it because we realized we didn’t need the 2 rappers at the beginning. This is a good idea because it means we can focus more on the main character, also its not too complicated and we can show more skill in the camera work and editing that we produce in the end.

Here is the edited script:

Script Writing

Rosy and I sat down and decided to begin writing our script after we’d finished discussing what we were going to include in the two minutes of film opening. Here is what we agreed on including:

• The film opens with 2 rappers dressed all gangster and trying to be really ‘sickk’ at rapping and performing.
• They finish and theres one clap from a member of the audience and a microphone squeal as the slump off stage making rock signs with their hands and saying ‘brap brap brap!’
• Next on the satge is the girl who is the main character, she walks slowly and is very shy and nervous. A drop of sweat falls from the side of her face.
• She starts to sing but cracks under the pressure and had a breakdown.
• There are some nasty girls in the audience who sniger and wisper spiteful comments.
• It all becomes too much for the girl and she flees off stage, dropping the microphone and running to the door to get out as fast as possible.
• She runs outside and yanks out her head phones and slowly lifts them to her ears letting the audience hear her track she listening to. This song will be soft and calming.
• She finds a tree and curls up underneath it, listening to the sweet sound of the music taking her somewhere away from the embarrassment.
• A single tear runs down her face as she closes her eyes.

We still need to come up with an idea for a name for our film, we have had lots of ideas but we havent settled on one yet because we want it to be clever and preferably a pun, to go with the chick flick comedy vibe.

 

Preliminary Exercise: Script

This is our script for our Preliminary Exercise, in this task our main aim is to get to grips with camera work and put into practice some of the shots we’ve been learning about. We have to include a character opening a door and crossing a room, then sitting down in a chair opposite another character with whom he/she then exchanges a few lines of dialogue.  Each group was given a word which we had to include in our script and ours was ‘Armageddon’ , therefore our script had to be based around the world ending. This is what we came up with:

Tom fast walks into the room, gently pushes the door open and carefully closes it behind him. He darts his eyes around the room looking frightened.
