Script

We have made some headway with the script. Enough to start shooting the first scene. This will be where the real work comes in. Organizing the actors, getting a good performance from them, and actually being able to capture what we scripted will definitely be difficult. But we hope to learn a lot from all of this. Luckily we only need three actors for this scene. There will be no dialogue either. So that will make this first take easier but at the same time give us enough experience to prepare us for the bigger stuff. However, with no dialogue, our use of music, the shots taken, and the actors gestures very well might make it or break it.
Our script is going to be bare minimum: an outline that gives the actors a goal but allows them creative liberties on their journey towards that goal. There will be no set lines but we will specifically state what we want from the actors in the particular scene. The script will consist of a description of the scene and the events that are to enfold. Where needed will be some basic lines. But other than that, what comes from the actor will truly be from the actor.
