The first script - #20

   To provide structure for a film, and to shoot scenes in an organized manner, every filmmaker should include a script. The script that I will propose is the first draft, meaning that it is not yet complete, and will probably cut out some parts if needed. I plan on creating a more detailed, longer script later, but for now, I needed a backbone to start with.

  I decided to type this up on a Word document, as I would be able to edit easily and have the option to undo anything I wrote, as opposed to erasing pencil and having a messy piece of paper. I also decided to not include the type of shots, but rather make it focus on the character's lines.



As you can probably tell, it is not complete and does not include everything I wanted it to. However, it did help me a lot in the process of production. I was able to film most of my scenes without much trouble since I had all of the lines for the characters that I wanted.

Final Script - #35

  For my finalized script, I completed much more of what was left of the first draft. This included things such as camera shots, music chimes, and sections for each part. With this complete, I can now finish filming and have everything organized.         Scripting was the most intricate, but necessary part. This is because it took a lot of time to put together and actually create from scratch. Not only did I have to write the lines for all of my characters, but also the way it would be shown through the camera shots. In my opinion, this is the hardest part of preparation.

Setting and location - #27

   For this opening scene, I only wanted to make two areas the focus. One was the sidewalk, and the other was Miguel's house. Both of which can be found in a neighborhood. I found it ideal, as it was close to where I live and we wouldn't have to go anywhere far to film it.   The sidewalk would be used for the chase section, where Sammy would hunt down Tim. This setting will be the least significant, and shortest but it will be included in the very beginning. Miguel's house is the most important setting as it is where he and Tim will develop their friendship. This in turn will set up the story for the entire film.   What was most interesting about filming at these places was the lighting. The sun gave really good natural lighting, which was important to these scenes. I was able to film what I wanted to since it was pretty much clear on both filming days. I also liked how the sunset looked at the end where Tim was about to walk out.
