Conventions in script-writing (M1)

-
See below for annotations of my first extract. These annotations talk about the layout of my script and how the language I use will help actors, directors and editors to make a high-quality media product. See the script annotations in P1 for some annotations of official scripts to compare to these annotations.

See below for the storyboard of the script which is based on this extract of the synopsis: " Gets home, parents are out and he runs to his bedroom to take the medication. He fumbles with the bottle dropping the pills all over the floor. As he does the Umbra Hominis pushes him over. Tom looks up at him, in shock. A fight ensues with the Umbra Hominis demeaning and insulting him the whole time, Tom loses but manages to grab some of the pills. He puts them in his mouth and swallows them without any water, making a face due to the bad taste they leave. His vision goes fuzzy as they kick in, he has taken too many but they are working. The Umbra Hominis tells him that he will never be able to get rid of him as he fades away. " Follow t his lin k for the script as a pdf file, or read it on the screenshots below.  It will be easier to see the formatting in the pdf due to each page being A4 and the screenshots being different sizes.

Communication, strengths and weaknesses

How is it going so far? So far we have come up with characters and background scenes that look aesthetically pleasing and prove our abilities effectively. We have been able to work as a team without conflict and have communicated well using Facebook messenger in order to convey ideas. Another process we have made progress on is the overall skill building aspect of this assignment that will help us in the future of the course. Overall I would say that the team is working quickly and efficiently in order to produce the best work possible. We should be able to hand the work in on time.

See my P2 Post for the synopsis of the entire story. In order to write at least 5-10 minutes of the script I will be writing I will write three extracts from different points in the script. This will allow me to clearly show character development and a clear narrative beacause they will be from different points in the story, when the characters have experienced and are experiencing different things and don't know how to cope with them. The three extracts are: 1) Tom arrives home and opens up his medication. The bottle is now empty. He hides this from his parents, intending to get some more on his way home tomorrow. When they ask where is is and if he is OK he tells them that he's put it in his room because it's easier for him and that he just needs a good night's sleep. Tom then ...
