Scene Idea:

The scene would take place in a car in a parking lot at sunset, where two protagonists are conversating and listening to music while waiting for another character to come back after he made the car stop and left without explaining why.

music:

At first the music would be diegetic coming from the speakers inside the car, while when the friend comes back and the vehicle starts again, it would become nondiegetic.

shots:

the scene would have close ups from inside the car and medium close ups from the outside shooting through the windows of the car, while when the scene finishes and the car is starting again, the shot would be from behind the car as it goes further away from the camera leaving it there and some shots will be taken from the passenger with a wide enough frame where it will be able to see both the seats in front to make some gestures between the two characters more evident.

 

dialogue:

The two characters won’t talk much between them since they are waiting for their friend to come back anytime soon, even though it might take a while. So, there’s quite an awkward silence between the two, hidden only by the song playing in the car. Until they actually decide to start a conversation at the same time.

DEVELOPMENT

The idea I came up with earlier this semester did not go through many changes since then, but instead, it was incorporated and use as a starting base for our group work for assessment 3. It helped establish a location and the motif of the car that will be present in the short film, implementing ideas I had for the various shots of the dialogue in the car which will be elaborated more on once we will have a final script and will start storyboarding.
