Week III

This week it was time to pitch our film ideas. My idea I came up with was a film called 'Janitor's Revenge', in this film a school caretaker tired of his job will be harassed by some students, tipping him over the edge. Later that day the janitor will give them all a detention, seeking his revenge, after school will attempt to murder these students, None of the students will survive, and the janitor will return to work the next day as if nothing happened.

I pitched this idea to the lecture group, and then to the group I will be working with during the film project. My group I have now joined liked the idea, and we have decided we will use it for our project. Now with a group, and a pitched idea, it is time to get underway with pre-production.

Week IV

Week 4 I sat down with a member of my group, and we began script writing. As we were writing the script was more like a screenplay, so we decided to write a screenplay first and then turn it into a script later. With this method, we are taking a more narrative approach to begin with, and then can consider the technical details later, which turned out to be much easier. We started writing the screenplay with a rough idea of the story, but we only had one character so far, and lacked any real depth. However, we knew the beginning and ending, and so were simply writing Act 2 (when considering the three act structure). We went through a number of ideas, spending a few hours getting the screenplay completed.

Week IX

This week we were adamant to start filming. I had contacted our film projects protagonist and had been assured he would show. However, once my group arrived ready to film, the 'janitor' of our film did not show, and was impossible to get a hold of. My group and I have decided this member has one more week, or else we will replace him.

Week V

With a completed screenplay it was time to turn it into script form. This was my first time scripting, so I was learning how to do it as I went along. I learnt the correct way to indent, line spaces, font, specifying location, and writing dialogue. I completed the script this week, however, it can only be considered the first draft because the rest of my group have not seen it yet.
