story boards and scripts

Scripts

In our film we did not want to much diegetic dialogue, we wanted the main focus to be around the main character in order for them to get to know her traits and personality. We also wanted her to introduce the other characters so that we get an impression of their social status in school, what other people think of them and to find out what the main characters relationship with the other social group is/was like.

In the voice over, Jessie, the main characters played by Courtney talks about her life previous to the present day (this is what it comes across as to the audience). She spoke about this in a lot of detail in combination with her relationship with other social groups talking about what their social status was before with the group and what it is in the present day. She explains to the target audience what the other stereotypical social groups think are of her now.

At the end of the voiceover she says 'And Lastly this is me, Jessie and this is my story'. This tells the audience specifically that she is the main character and you will be watching her story right from where it went wrong and how she ended up where she did. However we trick the audience by making them think that this is the present day. The present day actually is her in her new school. We did this so that the audience think there is not a happy ending.

Story Boards

Here are my films story boards and shot lists.

 

 

 The story board contains what dialog will be included, what shot type it will be and what shot number it is. The pictures show where the shot will be set and who will be in the shot and what the characters will be doing.We typed up our shot list separately as well so it was clearer when we were filming what shots we would be taking, what of and where.
