POST PRODUCTION: Story Boarding and Scripting
Alex, our director, began to write our initial script this week. This process was enabled following the research I had present to the group about BPD as well as my thoughts and research on lighting and film aesthetic so far. This was also enabled by myself and Abbie finishing our first draft of our document outlining and developing our protagonists identity.
By having these elements ready, Alex has been able to work on our script using a free writing script application called "celtx". Alex has been referring to the scripting style of Steven Moffat's Sherlock episodes.
Alex had referred well to our character development document, and this pushed ensured that the script captured the characters that I envisioned nicely. When Alex was finished with a first draft, there were a few pieces of dialogue that I read and discussed changing with the group to ensure our protagonist maintained the correct dialect to reflect his working class background, and therefor the statistics I researched that project that those from a lower socio-economic background are more likely to suffer from mental health issues. Everyone was agreed on these changes and we submitted an initial script draft that we feel reflected our ideas. I believe that writing in the style of Steven Moffat has worked to make our script detailed but fluid and easy to read.
As Alex finished composing the first draft of our script, Jayd began working on our storyboards, this brought our script to life, helping us to visually plan and piece together our ideas for camera angles and shots, mise en scène, sounds and locations. I can see from Jayd's storyboard and captions that she is alert to all teh ideas the group has discussed and brought forward, getting to this point has enabled us to feel confident in each others understanding of what we want our final out come to look like, I agree that it was important to take our time with this, and that developing this document in itself has been key to feeling organised enough to begin filming.
