Script

As the day to start production came closer and closer, I needed to start writing the script for shooting but I had no idea where to start. In my previous productions I was always the cinematographer or the sound designer, so i had no experience on how to write a script because I never had to deal with that so when it was time to start writing the script i was completely lost and had no idea what to do. 

After procrastinating on writing the script like any teenager I went to youtube to teach me on how to write a script. Those videos were extremely important and honestly don't know what I would've done without them. Before i did this research I thought script were only used to read the lines and that would be it, I never realized how important they are for production, for organization, time management and understanding of the actors. I had no idea they had the location, what type of cut will be made during the editing process but it definetely helped a lot to keep everything clarified and organized. 

As I started writing it I had so many moments where my mind would go blank and I wouldn't know what to write, I also had a lot of difficulty trying to organize how I wanted to organize shooting, since I'm not making a short film it was much harder to organize the scenes since in my head I had a different vision I had to break that down in my brain in order to make it organized.  

I ended up writing the script but I used the help of the actors to try to make it more natural, as I showed them my first draft I left it up to them to make changes so we could make it with less errors and still delivering the final product how I wanted it to be.



This is a screenshot of the script that was used during recording.
