Scripting

Scripting is a very important aspect when making a film, whether it be a comedy, drama, or even a horror it is all important, how the script is written is important, that is what makes the film.

Some genres such as action would not necessarily need major amounts of dialogue, but would need major amounts of action which gets the adrenaline pumping. As our film is drama scripting is very important, not a lot of dialogue is needed in our film as it is only a short film, but we still need to be careful of what we write.

As always i wanted to check that the script was okay to use so we got advice about the script we wanted to show the audience that he has lost his girlfriend through death of Laura…Advice we got back suggested that the script doesn’t show that she has passed away so an updated version of the the script had to be made.

Updated Script:

Louis voice : You really miss her don’t you?

Louis: (nods head)

Louis Voice: You could have changed?

Louis: Maybe she didn’t to change, I tried my best to keep her happy

Louis Voice: You didn’t try hard enough and now shes dead for what?

Louis: I know I know…I..I..I just want her back in to my arms again

Louis Voice: That neighbors getting nosy again

Louis: eh? what neighbor?

Louis Voice: you know the one that was  friends with Laura?

Louis: (Confused face)

Louis Voice: Better fix up, you need to sort yourself out mate.

This updated version of the script gives a clear indication that Laura is dead and where it says ‘you need to fix up’ the audience will think that he has an alcohol problem.
