SCRIPTING - BRINGING THE STORY TO LIFE

You should have a firm idea of what happens in your film.  Now is the time to develop this into a working script, your opening two minutes.

Students who go out and film without storyboards and scripts rarely succeed in producing a successful opening.  Good planning will lead to a good production.

I am not expecting a full script, but I DO EXPECT to see a script of some sort outlining description and dialogue of what happens in the first two minutes. 

1. Once you have a script you can start to storyboard.
2. Once your storyboard is complete, then you can create an animatic. 
3. Once you have the animatic, you can start to think about where your titles and credits will appear. 
4. Once you have done this, you will create your shooting plan and shot list.
5. Once this is done, and assuming all your other planning materials are complete, THEN you are ready to go out and film.

You should be ready to film on the first day back after Christmas.
