Entry #6

Feb 18

I wrote the first draft of the script. Each of my group members read it and liked it. 

While I was writing the script I kept in mind the characteristics of film noir and its plot. I also kept in mind that I am writing for the cameraperson, sound director and editor. I ensured that each scene had a clear intent, but also left room for each person to add his/her own ideas and vision. However, I paid close attention to the dialogue since that is the most evident showing of my contribution through the film. It was difficult merging witty, memorable lines in a dark movie, but I managed. I was influenced by Sin City, LA Confidential, Waiter (Ober), and Fight Club as they all seemed to have dark comedy elements. 

I also wanted to avoid cliche and corny lines. I try to surprise the audience with it rather than making the memorable lines predictable. 

Bernice is working on the storyboard while Medora is looking for possible music to be used. 

Bernice was also playing around with the HD Camera, reading the manual to make sure that during filming she is familiar in how to use the camera, and that we can minimize any technical problems we may encounter.
