Other scripted media products - P1.8

Film script: The format and layout of film screenplays is fairly constant around much of the world, for example across Europe and in the ‘Bollywood’ (Indian) and ‘Nollywood’ (Nigerian) film industries. Some use English as an international language for the action, sluglines etc, with only dialogue in the local language. Others may retain the overall layout and format but use the local language throughout. European, Scandinavian and South American scripts are likely to this approach, and English-language translations may sometimes also be available. Where languages differ significantly from English (e.g. in the direction in which text is read), script formats can very more significantly, for example, if written n Arabic or Mandarin (for instance, for the large Hong Kong film industry). Documentaries: These typically use a similar format to TV news, allowing the organisation and editing together of audio and visual from potentially various sources and managing timings. Radio dramas: Radio...

Evaluate how the written extract meets the requirements of a pre-production script - D1

Feedback: The feedback I received from my script was mostly positive as people were able to see that the genre was horror due to the tense scenes. The feedback also ensured that the script tells the reader that the target audience it teens/young adults. I was also told by the feedback that people were confident in the fact that the script would take between 5-10 minutes if it were to be converted into an actual film. However the feedback also told me that people believed that some of the scenes felt rushed. Evaluation: At the start of this unit we were given a brief that explained that we were to create a horror script that would last between 5-10 minutes if it were to be converted into a real film. The brief also asked that the script is to be created in the correct format, uses the correct narrative and to have 2 or more sequences within the script. I believe i have accomplishes this as the script I produced fits within the horror demographic which was proven by the feedback as well ...

Plan for the script - P3

Image
Making decisions: I believe that the start of the story would work well for the script because it has a lot more dialogue as there are more characters compared to the rest of the film. The film starts with the main character visiting their grandmother however she had passed away shortly before they arrived. They rush her to the hospital however it is too late. Not long after she dies the main character inherits a large box of unknown origin. They open to box to find that it is filled with unfamiliar and oddly unnerving cutlery. The segment of the scripts ends with the main character viewing the first incident. Learning from examples: How is tension created in my section: tension is first created when the Chris' grandmother dies at the start of the film. Tension is also created when Chris receives the box and the abnormal events start. How is tension created in A Quiet Place: in segment 62 the scene consists of Evelyn giving birth in a bath while she is being hunted by one of the cr...

Blue sky thinking: ghosts killer night low key lighting doll alone mystery church moon haunted building Horror ideas: The story is about a home owner who is home alone but is later disturbed by someone who breaks in. The point of the film is for the protagonist to wait for the police so that they can be safe before the intruder finds them. The horror aspect is from the mystery behind the intruder and what they will do while the home owner has to hide and wait to be saved. The location will be the protagonists house who the antagonist breaks into.  My second idea is about a civilian walking home alone at night however they are being stalked by a wanted criminal known for kidnapping their victims. The setting is a dark and very empty town which leads to her house. The plot is to get home before anything happens to she can call the police. The horror aspect comes from the feeling of being followed but the protagonist can't do anything about it because her phone is ...
