Planning Blog: Scripts

 Writing the scripts was easy for our group. Our group already had ideas in mind for what we wanted in our film and it all came down to write these ideas in a script. To create the script our group has used PowerPoint. Using PowerPoint has made our scripts easier to read for the group and for the actors. We successfully made the shooting script go hand in hand with the sound and dialogue script. The scripts are always very descriptive when it comes to sound, lighting, camera shots, and camera movements. Not to mention, that there is enough dialogue to keep the movie scenes mysterious and intimidating. All that’s left is to film and edit using the scripts and storyboard as our guide. One of the group members Anayah oversaw writing the two scripts, however, everyone pitched in to throw in their own ideas. For example, Kadia came up with the last scene in the opening and Keemori made up ideas for scenes 7, 8, and 9. Meanwhile, Anayah made up the beginning scenes in the opening. After writing the script all the group members checked to see if it made sense and stuck to the storyline. We also had to make sure that the scenes seemed creepy and mysterious. The purpose of doing this is to stick with the genre and not give away too much information on the characters shown on the screen. Creating the dialogue wasn’t a challenge in any way because in the opening scenes the characters barely speak. When they do speak it is short conversations describing the events taking place. One of the fears our group has is time. We are not sure if our scenes are too long and if we will be able to add every single one or not. Based on experiences from the last project, it is clear that time is the most troublesome factor in filmmaking. All that’s left is to film and edit using the scripts and storyboard as our guide.
