SCRIPT
My aim for this section is to create a script for my own music video and this page will specifically document the progression of my script throughout.
A script refers to the dialogue and instructions for a film. It includes the information of what happens in each scene/section of the film.

VERSION 1: NOT AT HOME
After we had written the first draft of our script, we had given it to some of our peers to see if they would be able to create a shot plan for us which would describe our ideas effectively. The plan they made did not express our ideas for the film at all as our script lacked specific detail in mise en scene and cinematography. Also our format for our script was inaccurate and so we decided to create another version which detailed our ideas more effectively with words. The first draft of the script is below.

VERSION 2: NOT AT HOME
After the feedback given we added more detail to our first version and corrected the layout of the script. We gave the script to the year 12 media students who said they could easily make a very detailed shot plan from our script, so we are happy to start shooting soon.

VERSION 3: NOT AT HOME
Unfortunately on the day of filming the actor which we had booked, was not able to attend. So we made a drastic decision to change the story to a young girl and a sister. After changing small aspects of our version 2, we feel we are ready to film this Saturday, 15th of March.
