Script Writing


When choosing a subject for our script to be based upon, we thought the most effective way of engaging two people with the preliminary task brief was in the setting of a psychiatric cell. When initially taking this idea into consideration, we brainstormed a few ideas and decided that our dialogue should create an element of fear. LIAM's character is going to act very distorted and dangerous, creating a build up which is taken out on JACK at the end of the sequence. All members of the group had an input to the final outcome of the piece.

When producing the script, we made sure that there were key moments within the dialogue that would allow us to try out different types of shot. For example, when JACK enters the room the focus should be upon him, therefore a close up here will be necessary. Another example would be the extreme close up of when the two characters are contemplating a hand shake; we added key moments like this to experiment with all the shots we have previously looked into.

There could be potential continuity issues, such as the positioning of when LIAM sits on the bed and the movement of JACKs steps when he enters the room. To avoid these issues, I will make sure that any possible issues of continuity will be noted throughout the shooting process.
