Entry #11: Scripting with Srish


Mood: Talkative

Hey there! I'm in a great mood seeing as Srishti and I have begun working on our script. It's such an exciting thing because it looks so professional! Creating dialogue is a lot more difficult than I had ever thought it to be; it takes tons of creativity to produce dialogue that flows, sounds natural, and accurately represents the character speaking. I have taken all of these aspects into consideration when writing the voice for two of the characters, since I have to convey, through dialogue, the personalities and traits of these characters.

We have only scripted the parts for the two girls, Grace and Lindsay, since the intruder has no dialogue and almost all of those scenes are completed. All of these lines are subject to modification, of course, because if a scene does not look or sound natural as we're filming, then it has to be altered. Again, this is all trial and error for us, as we've never done this type of project before. 

We timed the lines for the two female characters, and they took about one minute. That's a little nerve-wracking considering the intruder's scenes take up 1 minute and 17 seconds, and our limit is 2 minutes. We're going to have to see how everything plays out once it is all filmed, edited, and arranged. 

Behold, our first draft of the script for the Grace and Lindsay scenes. Look how professional it is! :D
