Scripting...

The scripting of a film is very important but I have decided to take a decision that will work best for my teaser trailer.

I have taken the decision to have improvised dialogue for my teaser trailer. The reason I have decided to take this decision is that there will only be dialogue for the 'Video diary' of Doctor Jones and by improvising the dialogue I believe it will produce a more naturalistic approach to the acting and give more of a raw emotion to the trailer. also since it a video diary and realistically if anyone did a video diary they would never have a script that they read before they turned the character. Instead of a script they would have a concept that they would work with and the right concept will produce a natural approach to the dialogue. This is what I am hoping to do when I fill the parts of my teaser trailer that require dialogue. I will look to work with the actor that play Dr Jones on the day of filming to come up with some concepts and ideas for each day of the 'Video Diary'.


As well as deciding to have a an improvised dialogue, I have decided to compile a shot list for the filming of the footage for my teaser trailer. This will give me a guideline for the shots I will be taking. I can also take other shots in order to be able to experiment with not just the shots on the shot list. Before I made a shot I decided to do some research into all the different shots, angles and movements of the camera so that it would be able to help me choose the right shots for my visualisation. I found this helpful  resource which explains graphically what each shot, angle and movement look likes.
