scripting.

Within our film we hope to depict real life, and real people. We were worried that if the dialogue was heavily scripted the sense of the characters being natural would be lost. Originally we intended on completely improvising the entire film. however, after one morning of filming we came to realise that this method was unproductive and not time effective.

Here are several examples of the loose scripts I have written. The questions are clear and structured, as would be expected from the presenter. for the character answering the questions, i have merely devised potential answers for them to use. This way, the joke or point is not lost, but it is also not said in a unnatural or structured manner. I feel this method gives me and the other actors a chance to develop our characterisations, including personal idiosyncrasies, aware that the scene is natural and most importantly productive as long as the organised point is made.

Within these scripts, I have also provided a rough outline as to how these scenes would look. I felt this was effective as it allowed the character to visualise the scene. Once they became accustomed to the mise en scene, they are able to acknowledge the characteristics necessary to create a convincing portrayal.
