For the last project, we didn’t have a script, because we almost made the film by separate ideas we had in mind. We found it quite informal and inappropriate so we made a storyboard just to clear things up. But this time we are making a more complicated film, with more characters, relationships and also conversations. We think we should write a script so our actors can understand it better and when we are shooting, it will save a lot of time for us and make sure we don’t miss out any scenes. It’s also a new thing for us, so when we are writing the first edition, e had to make a lot of changes. Here’s a look….

This edition is five pages long, and full of unnecessary scenes, so we had to cut of some of the scenes and conversations in order to have a more fluent flow and a better story. Here is the final script:

FADE IN:

INT.JANE’S ROOM

Jane is lying on the bed. She is covering herself with the sheet and she can not stop shaking.

It was raining heavily outside (sounds of wind, rain and thunder)

FADE OUT:

the end.

I am not in charge of the script writing, but after I read the whole script, I can clearly see the scenes and I know how the scenes should look like. Having a script indeed helped us to understand the story better and also got me to pay more attention to details.
