Planning- Script

 Hey Blog! After weeks and weeks of getting ready for my film, I figured it was finally time to begin making the script. After finalizing my cast and having a few group meetings throughout the week, I composed a script that will fit the needs of my film, and also the skills of my actors. This script will act as my guide for everything else in the production process, including setting, costumes, props, etc.

First Script Draft:

Although this draft is tentative to change and be fluctuated, I think it serves as a good example of how we want to share our story. I think the biggest challenge we encountered while composing this script was building suspense for the story in such a short time and not revealing so much information so that the audience is left wanting more. The more I researched, the more I realized that the majority of film openings don't even contain dialogue most of the time. After learning this, I wanted to reflect those conventions on my story as well. 

Overall, as much as I do like the idea around this story, there are also a few things about the script that I plan on tweaking a bit.  Now that we have a basis for the script, my group and I plan on meeting with the cast to review the script and take in any comments or concerns people have. Additionally, now that I have my script, the next thing we plan on doing is creating storyboards so we could have more of a visual of what we are composing.
