Our Group

Our group consists of four individuals: Ryan Howard, Max Levene, Georgina 'Didi' Finlay and Gabriella Kingsley. (The blog links are located on the right). We all developed the short story which we then called 'Smile', and then wrote a script. You can view all of our pre-production, production and post-production once they have been edited into our blogs.

Script - First Attempt

This is our first script. There are going to be many changes to it before we are happy with it and able to start the production.
To make our script, and to make it look professional, we used a piece of software called Celtx. Using this, helps us make a script which is so simple to follow and understand, and the software automatically put each piece of text into a different section (i.e. dialogue and character)

1. Ext.
Charlie is riding his bike in to college. Music in background. Cross cut to shots of Max Sitting in Starbucks waiting for Charlie to arrive.

2A. Int.
Max is sitting down in Starbucks next to the window. Charlie arrives and sits down.

Max:
About time
Charlie:
Sorry, was up late last night doing work, I'm shattered.
Max:
Did you see the new eppisode of Dr. Who last night?
Charlie:
No i didnt i missed it, i told you i had too much work! What happened?
Max:
It was amazing, Dr Who became friends with the evil guy but he didn't know he was evil, but the audience knew. So I was literally sitting there screaming at the television you don't understand I was getting so in to it! And then at the break, there was an advert for a Dr Who Live Show, I've already told my mum and she's booking us both tickets.

Max starts to describe lasts nights episode of Dr.Who, his voice starts to fade out and become a mumble as Charlie begins to stare at Gabriella and zone out.
