Script

As part of our planning. Isaac made a script for our film Trailer. 

We all had different ideas and we went through multiple re-drafts of making scripts, however we got some feedback from a recently graduated film student who has done paid work in the film industry making scripts. This was incredibly useful as he gave us a lot of constructive criticism on our script and how to make it like a proper 'film industry standard' script. This included how to introduce a character into a scene and how you have to give a trait for the character so the actor knows how to play this character. We were taught how to write the script as if we were giving it to a group of people with no idea and for them to be able to create the film trailer we wanted.

As for the methods we used to create the Script, we decided to use a website recommended by the said film student called 'Celtex' (click this if you want to see the website). This was really useful to write a script with as not only was it easy to use, free and filled with all the tools needed, you could also forward a link to the script through an email, message etc, to other members of the group so they could link up their account and collaborate on the script.

One problem we faced was creating some effective dialogue for our script. Jak and I helped Isaac with creating some natural dialogue for the script, however we established that dialogue wasn't going to be a main emphasis in the trailer and we were going to make it as small as possible.I believe one of the drawbacks would be using heavy dialogue in the trailer as we were not professional actors, so we decided to only use dialogue when was necessary for conveying the plot in the film trailer.

Here below is some screenshots of what our script looked like:
