Script Development (Draft 1)

- 2. - This is the first version of the script for my short film project. Since it is the primary script draft, I have chosen the title of nameless as a first working title. In regards, to my reason of this choice relates to the fact that the characters present in my short film remain unknown.This is because the chief notion is based on the message of the battle of anxiety and conquering it which is embodied through the characters rather than the characters epitomizing the theme. However seeing as this title does not fully capture the theme of the short film, I have chosen to broaden the outlet of names by coming up with various titles related to the topic I want to present. My examples include: insentient impact, involuntary servitude, imminent deviation, escape to the innocuous, inevitable impact and omnipresent (impact). I have tired to relate to both the notions of confined freedom and the premise of inevitability of the inescapable in order to convey my idea in the best way possible.
- 3. - Through this continuous motion I want to convey a notion of time-lapse in order to emphasize the bleak and dull atmosphere. Furthermore, the monotonous pace evokes a sense of an endless repetitive cycle , which in this case relates to his constant mental instability. In regards to the title of the newspaper article, I wanted to incorporate a more realistic title in order express the naturalism of the incident despite the mis-en-scene of my short film being based on illusion and a dystopian vision. By the character showing an emotionless expression and the focus of his anxiety being his eyes, the appearance of his anxiety is more poignant as it is not obvious but rather shows his inner turmoil as “the eyes are an entrance to the soul” in metaphorical terms. In the corporation of sound additions of shouts of the main character, I want to establish the hectic atmosphere is latent manner, since the aid of sound is no visual and thus does not convey a obvious and exaggerated concept. In order to make the script reveal the film in the most accurate manner, I wanted to include a brief description of the group of victims such as their age and background. In addition, I decided to change the description of them from jolly and joyful to innocent and elated in order to demonstrate their purpose and appearance most accurately. I have decided to move the line of VictimA to the following page and to lower the font to a smaller size in order to make the appearance of my script more visually coherent.
- 4. - Consequently, from movingVictimA’s line to the following page, I would have to move the commencement of Scene 6 in order to follow the same coherent pattern in a orderly fashion.
- 5. - In relation to this last page of the script, I did not refer to many corrections due to the fact that this is the rough draft and I wanted to focus on details and in- depth correction in the second version/draft of my script since I would have constituted the main premise from creating the first draft.
