Script- March 8th, 2018

I started my script!
I actually wrote further beyond what the opening would be to try and get a stronger concept of my story, and flesh out all details before embarking on such a task.
This post is going to be short because all the news I have for right now is a drafted script.
Enjoy!


As Long As We Both Shall Live

Into Camera
First black, and then we see Girl and Boy
Girl
We’re engaged! I can’t believe it

Boy
Believe it. I love you.

Girl
I love you more.

Black
Then another camera video
In a store, looking at items to put on wedding registry

Girl
Honey? Where is he… Babe its not funny, where are you?

She approaches an aisle and walks down skeptically
Suddenly, Boy pops out and scares her. Girl screams but is soon overcome with laughter, like Boy.

Girl
AH! Jesus, babe! Begins to laugh uncontrollably
Boy goes in for a hug and covers camera. We see black


Next shot
On couch. Boy holds camera facing Girl. She is sobbing watching a sad movie. He finds this hilarious.

Girl
It’s not funny!

Boy
Laughing
Yes it is.

Girl
So my suffering is funny to you?

Boy
Of course!

Girl
I hate you.
Playfully shoves him
Camera falls

Boy
I hate you more.

Next homemade video.
Boy is asleep at computer. Fell asleep while working. Girl is holding a cupcake with a lit candle while holding the camera.


Girl
Honey.

Nothing.

Tapping him
Girl
Honey.

Boy
What… five more minutes.

Girl
You said five more minutes six hours ago.

Boy
What time is it?
Checks computer screen
1 in the morning?

Girl
Happy 28th, Babe.

Boy blows out candle. Black.

Next clip

Boy
Is that published script writer slash director _____?

Girl walks out of large building


Girl
They bought it. They loved it.

Boy
Is that the next Spielberg?

Girl
Please.

Boy
You’re right. You’re not the next Spielberg. You’re you. And you just sold your pitch.

She jumps into his arms. Blackness.

Next video.

Boy is steadying camera so that it stands alone. Camera faces a dining room table decorated for an anniversary. Candles, a nice dinner. Boy walks away.

Boy
Perfect.

Boy checks camera once again, looks at watch and leaves the room, seeming to forget something.
Camera remains in place, still recording table and door.
We hear hurried footsteps followed by hard breathing.
There are louder, harsher footsteps.
There are slams on walls.

Girl
Unseen.
No! Please! Please don’t! Hel-

We hear slicing and stabbing noises followed by more staggered breathing.
The Boy reenters the room with a vase.
The door opens. It is the girl, bloodied and stabbed.
The Boy drops the vase while the Girl falls, unconscious but not dead. Camera falls with them.

Boy
NO! NO! NO! HELP! ANYONE!

Boy begins to cry hysterically. Then nothing. Sudden darkness.
Title shows.

Creative Decisions- Justified:)

This is gonna be a long one.... This blog post will be all about my creative decisions within the movie and their justifications in my mind. Camera placement and shooting The camera was obviously handheld by the actors for the duration of filming, and I gave them some slight leeway to do as they saw fit with the angles. If they did anything I didn't approve of, we did another take and I gave them some pointers. Most of the shots, with the exception of one, were filmed in landscape rather than portrait mode. Portrait mode gave a little variation, and I was able to play around with the shot in editing. I rotated the clip so it is seen sideways, sort of like a dutch angle to imply the madness and chaos to come later. Editing On the cutting room floor, I got my creative juices flowing. I decided to use a VCR overlay throughout the entire opening to emphasize the homemade footage aspect as well as the early 2000s time frame. The Pauses and Plays and Stops are at different times,...

filming delayed

I just got word from my friend/choreographer that her and her husband can't film tonight because he isn't available. But she said they were definitely free tomorrow night. This might work out better because I will have more time tomorrow night, and the following day i don't have to be in school until 9:30. You have to work!
