Planning Blog: Scripts

 

I did two different scripts for the final task. One is a shooting script and the other is a sound/ dialogue script. The shooting script describes the actions, lighting, shots, and camera movements for each scene. For the sound/dialogue script, it basically just has the dialogue and other sounds in each scene. I had to carefully plan out my storyboard before doing each script. I believe that these scripts will help me a lot while filming and editing. It acts as a sort of organizer that shows what is in each scene. It could help me remember that I need to add a sound effect in one of the scenes while I am editing. It also reminds me what shots and movements I need to include. It provides as a guideline on how I should film and edit my final task. There are specific types of camera angles, shots, movements, etc. that I need to include in my final task. For example, I have to include an establishing shot, a pan, a high angle, just to name a few. While writing out the shooting script, it gave me ideas on which scene to include these requirements. A high angle or low angle could work out very well in my final task. Since I am doing horror, and high/ low angle demonstrate either a loss or control of power, it could be really useful. And the sound script outlines my plan on which music to include. It helps me plan out which scenes I should input a dark background music. For example, when the killer is in the shot, or when the character is getting suspicious or paranoid. The scripts helped bring the visual of the film in my mind. It helped me imagine all the sounds, dialogues, and actions for each scene.
