Huge progress has been made with our screenplay for our short film and everything now seems to be falling into place! The fake movie script that I shared in my last post has now been built upon and a good chunk of our screenplay is complete. The draft includes all the dialogue and descriptions of the setting.
The draft starts off with the main character skating and acting care free as he gets ready for the day, until he decides that the story just doesn't fit him. The main character goes against what the narrator says and runs off to make some changes in his life. This exchange with the narrator would include some back and forth with the two characters as they narrator fights to have a compromise. While we haven't written it yet, the scene would then change as the narrator decides to change up the story to see if the protagonist will like it better.
The screenplay then jumps to the end as the protagonist and narrator become fed up with each other as they can't come to an agreement. The narrator decides to pull the main character out of the story and into a void like room where there is a man in a suit. The man would present the script to the main character, signaling that he now has complete control over his story and his life. We wanted to get the ending down as soon as we could because it is the most integral part of the story that would drive the message of our film home. Now all that is left to do is to fill in the gaps and we will be one step closer to our finished product.
