Evaluation

Evaluation   For my coursework I  wrote  a script and  did a  digital storyboard about two friends who were in love with the same man, and the way that the one marrying him finds out. I think that my actual script was good and although at times I had to make some big changes to it I liked the overall story that I got to at the end. I tried to give all the characters development, but this is difficult to achieve in a 10-minute film as there isn’t time to get to into the stories of each character. I also think that my script should have included a lot more description rather than having so much dialogue as this could have given the film a bit more depth and helped with the actual pacing of the film. It also would have shown a lot more about the characters and settings than my script did at the end.   I tried to use some of the key features of the short films that we watched as most of them were very good and therefore helpful towards creating a ...

Screenplay

INT. bedroom, morning Clothes lay scattered over the floor of a busy room being trampled by a group of women who are rushing around, giggling with one another. A woman, AVA HALL, sits as the back staring blankly into the mirror in front of her, as someone plays with her hair. The door next to her slightly open, and holding up a long white dress. AVA carelessly knocks a bottle of perfume onto the floor, and watches the others panic over it, laughing to herself, as they fight to be the one to give it back to her. CHARLOTTE WILSON shoves it back onto the dresser, rolling her eyes at the girls beside her. CHARLOTTE (annoyed) You have to be more careful!I swear you don't give a shit about anything. AVA It was an accident! God, you're being so over dramatic today. AVA HALL flicks her hair and walks away to the bathroom, AMELIA ADAMS and EMMA EVANS trailing behind her carrying the dress. AVA quickly pulls it on, as the other two fuss about it being...

Screenwriting exercise

EXt. School 3 PM KATE, aged 7 runs across the playground dragging her bag across the floor, as the wind pushes her hair back. She zigzags through the crowd towards her MUM, things falling out of her pockets and bag as she goes. Her MUM just looks down at her phone holding tightly to the lead of the dog trying to jump up the girl. KATE speeds up as she sees the dog, nearly tripping over her untied shoes. She waves a leaf in her MUM's face as she takes her school bag from her quickly turning on her heel.  KATE quickly ties her shoes and chases after her shoving her stuff back into her pockets. KATE Mum! Wait for me! KATE grabs the lead of the dog and starts to walk. MUM is talking on the phone. KATE Do you know what we did today? It was so cool.

Creative Ideas

Adaptation of novel/short story - Lamb to the Slaughter: a Roald Dahl novel about a woman who kills her husband using a frozen leg of lamb, and then cooks and serves it to the police who come to investigate her husband's death. Is quite an unknown story to the younger audience so would still be shocking. News story - Hottest bank holiday weekend: could be the story of how a group of friends spent it. Historical event/ news story - A lady at home reading a letter from her husband at war, after he dies. Idea from a set text - From the operator: Paramedics talking about the man they just saved and other patients who didn't survive. Original idea - Two women who fell in love with the same man, fight over him, the end of their friendship - Police investigation into a missing kid
