Since I wasn’t in class last week (no excuses, just had things to do which I should have done earlier) I’m currently playing catch-up. That being said, I’ve been working on my script in an attempt to self-contain the story. It’s coming along well, but I’m still worried that my concept is destined for a feature-length film. Regardless, I’m confident I can pull it off.<\/p>\n
Additionally, I’ve started a completely new script with elements from the first built in that might turn out to be more self-contained. It still has some past tense scenes and voice-overs but they are mostly used as exposition. The real conflict takes place in the present. The conflict takes up a larger portion of the script (where as the first script was mostly a sequence of events) and doesn’t quite reach the scale of the first (no police, no national news coverage). A new element of this story is a love-interest, which I was hesitant about at first. Originally I wanted to avoid love-interests but in this case it works. The female character drives the plot forward and even resolves the conflict.<\/p>\n
Hopefully I’ll have it completed by class tomorrow. Until then, I’ve got some work to do. Luckily, once my script is finished I’ll basically be ready to start filming. While the characters aren’t set, I’ve found a female and multiple males with acting experience who are willing to fulfill the necessary roles. I probably need to find a faculty member or very old-looking student to play a teacher, but that’s about it. I’ve got a DP and the camera equipment, as well as multiple open weekends. Things are definitely moving in the right direction.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
