Second Script

Here's another one of my Scripts...

Moving Out

A relationship drama about a mother and son on the brink

Charlie is sitting at the table on his own, his mum in the next room, with the look of something playing on his mind.

INT. HOUSE – KITCHEN/KITCHEN TABLE - DAY

Mum walks in

MUM

What’s wrong?

CHARLIE

Why is he always here, has he not got his own home to go to.

Charlie says through gritted teeth.

MUM

Oh not this again!

Charlie’s mum says raising her voice

CHARLIE

Nobody likes him and he’s pushing everyone else away.

MUM

It’s nobody else’s business, I let them do what they want so I can do what I want

CHARLIE

Nobody comes around anymore because he’s here and I’m uncomfortable in my own house

MUM

I’m capable of making my own decisions.

Charlie talks over his mum not caring what she is saying; still very angry.

My Own Stuff

I just thought it would be nice to share my own screenplays so you can see my writing style, I still have a lot to learn. These are some of my earlier scripts.

A young boy has the opportunity to live the same day twice.

Fix You

SCENE 1: INTERIOR BEDROOM

 CU on alarm clock, it’s 07:57, it changes to 08:00. The shrill alarm goes off.

 From right of frame a hand hits the surface around the alarm clock, it fumbles around looking for the ‘OFF’ switch; it finds its target and hits the alarm off.

 Cut to a MS of Pearse. He sits up on the bed, rubs his eyes and runs his fingers through his hair. Cut to a LS, Pearse gets up out of bed and walks out of frame.

 

SCENE 2: INTERIOR BATHROOM

 High angle MS, Pearse grabs either side of the sink and wearily leans towards the mirror. He fills the sink with water.

 Cut to a CU of the tap as water flows. Cut back to a high angle MS as the boy splashes water over his face.

 A fast paced edited sequence leads to a CU from an angle behind the boy as he brushes his teeth.

 
SCENE 3: INTERIOR BEDROOM

 Cut to a low angle CU. Pearse is back in his bedroom where he puts on a jumper.

 

SCENE 4: INTERIOR STAIRWELL

Cut to a bird’s eye view of the stairs. The boy’s mother walks into the frame, looks at camera and shouts up.

 

MUM:

“YOU’RE GOING TO BE LATE!”

 Cut to MS as Pearse comes out into the landing, he looks past camera then glances at his watch. Cut to a CU of his watch. Cut to a MS, he runs back into his room to collect his bag. He passes a calendar on the wall. The date is the 23 March 2012.

 He grabs his bag and he runs down the stairs.

The camera ‘follows’ on as Pearse runs out through the front door into the world.

Here We Go Again

Here's an easier way to view my two minute documentary 'Something Different'

Something Different

Last week I shot, directed and edited a short two minute documentary I was commissioned for for Action Cancer Trust.

I had help with two others in my class with setting up the set.

The short is named after the shop, 'Something Different'.

Enjoy!

Documentary Blog

So I had to make a new blog for my documentary class... so without any further ado here it is
Check it out if you have time.

Making a C.V

Today in class I had to make a C.V about what I want to do once I graduate, in no way did it have to be realistic; as long as it's what I wanted to do.

Then I had to make a step by step of how I plan to get there, surprisingly it was tough (but I did it). We started by what we think we would be doing on a Tuesday (today) afternoon, then we had to come up with steps that would get us there, next we talked about what would get us there or "our body of work", getting known is what we discussed next; who we would target and finally we went through what our stagey after leaving was.

P.S. I tried to vlog but was unsuccessful...better luck next time

First day back

So today was my first day back of my second year HND Multimedia and Film Studies course and we started it off with a bang…we watched movies (I love my course!)

We started of with a Research Techniques class where we were told what we'll be doing for the year and it turns out quite a lot. We'll be making a number of films a documentary a comedy film with no dialog and writing our own script for our own movie which will be getting shown in the cinema.

We discussed in length about comedy films which went all the way back to ancient Greece and what you probably didn't know is that all comedies our actually tragedies with a happy ending at the end (trust me) we then wrote what we think a comedy is.

After we had a Sound design class which, you guessed it! Is all about sound in films and it is pretty important. We had these photos on the screen of a computer which we had to add audio clips to to make it sound like a real scene in a movie, like ascend in real life…it was pretty fun.

And lastly I volunteered to do a short 2 min documentary on Action Cancer Trust which should be fun and I'm excited together involved in and at the end it will be shown at some fancy event where I'll be invited and getting fed.

**Side note I'm thinking of starting vlogs**
