Preliminary task planning

 To start the planning we all decided on a main plan and the idea of how the scene would flow, we then each chose to do a task to cover the load of work and worked together to put the ideas together. We then mind-mapped possible ideas and came up with a very rough story board which I then expanded on to make the storyboard below. Lauren then designed a script to fit our ideas. We then sorted out a date and time after school to shoot and designed a floor plan around our location and where our cameras, props and actors would be.

Script: 
INT. OFFICE DOOR- NIGHT

FIONA is stood outside GWENDOLYN’S office door hesitating as to whether to enter or not. When the choice is made to enter, she uses her hand to gesture and charm the door open, it flying open with force not startling GWENDOLYN who is sat at a desk the other end of the room engrossed in writing a letter. FIONA approaches and yet again gestures with her hand to conjure the chair out from under the table, when she goes to sit GWENDOLYN gestures and the chair slides backward with FIONA falling to the floor. Awkward silence ensues.

GWENDOLYN
 (Pleasant)
Good evening Fiona.

FIONA
(Whilst standing up with a hint of bitterness)
Always a pleasure Gwendolyn.

FIONA finally sits in the chair electing a smirk from GWENDOLYN.

GWENDOLYN
(Innocent)
You don’t seem very pleased to see me Fiona. I can’t imagine why not?

FIONA
Not pleased? Well I don’t suppose you’d think that’s down to the fact you have violated the terms of the treaty, yet, again, would it?

GWENDOLYN
I can’t say I know what you’re talking about.

FIONA
Oh you know exactly what I’m talking about, keep your girls on your side of the city and I’ll keep mine on my side.

GWENDOLYN
Oh posh, why can’t we just live like we did in Salem?

FIONA
(Angering)
Salem was a long time ago, and it’d be in your best interests to remember that.


GWENDOLYN
(Mockingly)
Would it now? Or what?

FIONA
Or you’re gonna wish you were burnt at the stake with all our sisters in Salem.

Tension, GWENDOLYN is aware of the seriousness of FIONA’S threat. FADE OUT.

  1. Well done: this shows you've carefully thought about your film. Targets: on your shooting map, you need to clearly mark the position of cameras at various points in the shoot. Revise the definition of jump cut because you misuse it on the storyboard. You need to include some kind of explanation of the process you went through when planning your film.
