Script Writing

In this blog post i will show guidance on our script layout, compose our script.Then annotate using the comments box's.

Section A/ Section B

After debating on potential story lines as a group we came to the conclusion that our opening sequence will be based in a doctors surgery. Featuring two doctors, the short sequence will begin with a doctor entering the room gracefully. The Mise en scene of costume is clearly used  later on in the sequence as a white lab coat is passed across the desk and the the doctor leaves the room to deliver the bad news.The Mise en scene of props is displayed with a clip board to express a professional doctor. There will also be other props presently displayed in the room to signify it's a doctors surgery. The two doctors share a conversation about the condition of the patient and the the same doctor who entered the room leave to deliver the bad news. As a group we decided on this storyline as we felt it showed real emotion and expressed a dramatic short opening sequence.      

Section C
When working on making a film you have to consider continuity issues within your script, for example if a character passes a object across a table to another character then your actor will need to do this action at the same time in the script and in the same way. For example in our opening sequence we decided to shoot shot reverse shot when the two doctors was having a conversation we also decided to shoot from different angles so we had to make sure that we captured everything we did from the other side. As even the slightest fragile movements is different then it can cause problems, for example in our opening sequence if a character was leaning back in their chair and then in the next shot their sitting up, this express bad continuity.Also if your shooting from different angles then the display of any objects needs to be the same as if it was on the other side. For example we had a bottle of water placed on the table so we need to make sure it was in the same place.
