Script: So Far

          As I started to write the script, I realized that it was a really good idea to start with the storyboard.  This is because in our summary, the main character, Alex, is on his own for most of the short film so there is little to no dialogue throughout our entire film.  The storyboard will be our main source of reference of filming because of our stylistic choices when thinking of our plot line.  In the script (so far) I have written about mostly his actions, using as a more in depth storyboard of our film.

Script:

Setting:  Alex has been alone for a few months, not having any human contact in months.  Alex is currently living in a Post Apocalyptic world where he is continuing to travel throughout South Florida to find any form of human contact.

Alex has a serious face, walking around, continually watching for anything that could be following him.

Alex’s eyes continue to travel to his walkie talkie, making sure it doesn’t say anything as it flickers on/off.

As Alex continues to walk, he sits down at a table, going through his backpack to know his provisions.  

Alex

1, 2, 3.  1, 2, 3, 4.  I’ll need to stop at the next town over for more food.

Alex writes down this information, keeping track of what he had just counted.

Alex also takes out his constellation map, tracking the date, and how far he has travelled since the last time he had checked, also writing that down in his journal.

Alex

Only a few more miles and hopefully only a few more miles until another person.  Haha.

Alex laughs to himself, a small smile on his face, trying to make light of the situation.

*Flashback*

Alex is on the road, driving his car with the windows downs as he drives during sunset.

Alex

*singing a song that will be need to pick* (maybe a country station or something)

*Flashback*

Alex wakes up, packing up his stuff to continue to walk to his destination,

As Alex walks, he looks around while humming, trying to get his mind off of the heat.

Alex takes his backpack off his shoulder, looking for his water bottle, drinking the last of the water that is in there.

Alex

Well, that’s depressing.

Alex veers off his path, heading for a stream to fill up his water bottle.

Alex stays there for a little, admiring the scenery before he gets back on his path, making sure to get a certain distance before setting up camp for the night.

          This is what we have written so far, based off of our storyboard.  This goes a little further than our storyboard because I wanted to make sure that Klaus and I are on the same page on our vision and not only the summary.  I do think that once we finish both the storyboard and script we'll go back through them to make necessary changes in our story whether that be deleting or adding a scene or a shot.  I really like what we have so far for our story and I'm going to continue to collaborate with Klaus and both the storyboard and script, keeping them equal to each other.
