Draft of final Script

RODEO screenplay draft

Above is the draft of my final script for the short RODEO.

One regret I have over the process of developing a draft for my screenplay, is not saving different versions of drafts. I have the first two pages of script that I worked on that I put in a post for pb3 on my work-in-progress:

Work-in-progress

It would’ve been interesting to see the little changes I made and what I thought worked better after a few weeks of the table workshops. Doing read throughs during the studio workshops really benefited me because I got to see how it flowed when read aloud and also just how people reacted to the action of the script and whether they enjoyed it or not.

Waverley Cinema Facebook

I went on the Waverley Cinema Facebook page to contact them about possibly using them as a location for a short film and I went through some of their display pictures and I almost laughed at how outdated some of their photos were and it actually is as though they’re stuck in a different time to what we’re in now.

 

Movie theatre Location

Last night I went back to the cinema that I had in mind for using as the location for my short film. I used to go quite a lot with my dad when I was a bit younger but haven’t been in a while so it had this really nostalgic feel when I visited again. I took some videos on my phone to give a sort of reference to the mood that I’m hoping this cinema will give; with a sort of stuck in time vibe with the old sign and old novelty carpet. So far I’ve used the video without sound because I think it gives it a colder viewing, but I may work further in creating an atmospheric track to go with it, to further implement the mood. Even just with this sort clip, I feel as though it helps boost my script so far because working alongside with giving the reader an image to put in their head. I also decided last night that I want to try and create a storyboard. I never even considered doing one before my pitch but I think it would truely give the visuals I want to show which is important to the project.
