Preproduction of My Film Project- Script




 The last part of my preproduction phase is a script and a storyboard. I wanted to make the story interesting and intriguing to the viewers, so I made a decision to spice up my character's lines in the film.

The script: Boundless script


The app that I've used for my scriptwriting is called 'Celtx'. This app has a variety of functions and makes your screenwriting format believable and better for your actors to read and know what to do. Below is what my display looked like while writing my script. As you can see we have a special font and display of each one of the lines, it depends is it an action, a new character or a transition. 




What I've learned is if there's a change of location in the movie script, this is shown with the blue horizontal line describing INT. or EXT. of the location. In my case, I've used the interior of the bar in the late afternoon (what part of the day is it filmed in). The order that it goes in is INT/EXT-PLACE-TIME.


Furthermore, the character's dialogue is displayed in the middle of the page, along with notes or directions on how the line should be delivered in parentheses.  I've used a lot of them throughout the script to make sure my actors know what I expect from their performance.

Transitions are to be displayed on the left of the paper margin. You can use a lot of transitions, but the most common ones are: dissolve to, match cut, jump cut to, fade in/out...From which I used match cut and jump cut.

The title of my movie is 'Boundless'. The reason I've chosen this name is because of numerous reasons. One of them might be the theme that is consistent throughout the movie of reaching your potential and being limitless. Moreover, my film project might be based on the character's greed or will to have everything he ever wanted, but the thing I know for sure is that is based on this line:
'If you had one shot, or one opportunity. To seize everything you ever wanted in one moment. Would you capture it, or just let it slip?'

Production Of My Film Project- Part 2

 2. PROPS Props were crucial in every scene of the movie. All the way from drinks to the smallest details, like candles on the bar table. In this post,  I'll lead you through my prop list and set design that in this case includes lighting and colour combinations. For two of my characters, Zara and Tom, smoking was important, because that complemented Zara's and Tom's characters. None of the actors are smokers in real life, so I decided to make 'fake cigarettes' based on actors' needs. I filled cigarette filters with dried parsley that is more or less healthy and has the same burning effect as real cigarettes. Here's the video tutorial that I've followed:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZFyN43HEC4s&t=45s The drinks that each of my characters drank were fake. For example, the beer, that Harry drank, was apple juice that was in a beer bottle. This made the character look reckless and manly. Zara drank Gin tonic, which was mineral water with ice in it. ...

It comes as no secret that technology has changed our lives. It hasn't only made communication easier, it has also influenced society with a variety of streaming apps, dating services and sharing abilities. But, under one condition, as long as we stay connected they are going to provide whatever we want while browsing. But, what if I were to tell you that technology can possibly predict our personalities, and essentially know us better than your family and friends do. This is fascinating and terrifying at the same time. In the advancing world of technology that stores enormous amounts of data for each user, so apps like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and other big companies can collect information about you through things that you browsed or what you've liked for the past few weeks.  The people have started to wake up with terror after watching the new Netflix's documentary, 'The Social Dilemma'.
