As part of this course we have been given a script from a previous student to edit and adapt into our own short film. At first a very daunting task as many people have never used script editing software or written an industry standard script. We have been using software called CeltX a commonly used editing software which has everything a basic script editor needs. What was also a great help to me when thinking about the script and the ways in which i could re write it was the book, 'Making Short Films: The complete guide from script to screen.' (Clifford Thurrow 2005) Berg Publishers: UK. this book is full of tips and points to help you write a good script. It is also layed out very well and easy to read making the process much easyer.
Once in groups we have had to adapt the script based on the theme of the script. Our group have met up three times to discuss what should go in our script and how the film should look. Looking outside the box i feel we have a good solid film idea. You will have to wait and see what it is though!
On this film i h
ave been assigned as the Producer which is a very vital role to the film. My skills in deligation, organisation and Liaising. In both Pre - production and Production will i be at my most busy as i have to find locations for the film, Actors for the film and make sure evry one is ready and understands what will be happening during the shoot. Netherthe less i am pleased with such an important role.
The other roles have been handed out to the members of the group and we have both an editor camera man and director all ready. One book i have looked at to help is 'Making SHort Films' (Jim Piper 2006) Alworth Press: New York This book breaks down film making step by step going through pre, post and during production. A great book for those first time film makers in need of a helping hand.
Whats Next?
Next we turn the original script into our own using celtX to create an easy to follow, formatted script in order for us to make shot lists and story boards.
