Working on our Script

Hello my beautiful blog readers!!! I have to leave to go to Mamma Mia soon so I have to make this quick, but I wanted to post a quick update since we had class today.

 So today in class we talked about our script since we are finally set on zodiac signs for our characters. We decided that we were going to make there be an 'error' in the system when setting up our two main character on a date together even though they are incompatible. Once we were set on this we were able to focus on more specific things in our opening that will help to develop our plot a bit more. We are going to be focusing a lot on Mise-en-scene in our opening shots as we pan around our main characters houses and place shots of things in their houses that are specific to their zodiac signs in order to develop the signs in the opening. I already posted a lot outline, but we updated it a bit so below I am going to paste how we are planning on our opening to go so far so you can get an idea of what we want to happen:
Opening scene:
- Various shots of community
- Establishing setting and way of life
- Credits rolling

Scene #1:
- (V)-Main girl in her room waking up (doing a daily task)
- Get an email about monthly schedule includings dates to meet compatible person
- Various shots of her room to show zodiac
(Purpose: showing a normal life of a citizen in society, and introducing character and their zodiac.)

Scene #2:
- (T)-Introduce partner, doing similar thing to the main character
- Very similar shots (parallel editing)
- Also gets an email about date, and monthly schedule
(Purpose: further emphasis of society, and introducing character and zodiac.)

Scene #3:
- Go back to V, complaining to friend
- Friend is compatible
- Getting ready for date
- Looking out window

Scene #4:
- Back to T also getting ready, but slight shift in routine

- Looking at different scenery, further establishing setting

Last scene: 

- Put a bar scene within the last scene

Bar? Guy is hitting on the girl and sees her. He hits on her but she rejects bc of her sign. She saw him do something stereotypical.

- Viewing of main characters, at a restaurant in a booth (on a date)
- Camera then pans to a crane shot to show a full restaurant of different people on dates
(have little bubbles of each zodiac and compatibility level on top of each person’s head-like sims)
- Camera pans out to a black/constellation and title “How The Stars Align”

Until Next Time,
