Contextual Study of Film: Script Writing - It Begins (choosing the right poem) !!!

[changeling67]

Or does it? i am not exactly sure what I will be converting into script.  There are a combination of things going on.

1) A scene to a song of your choice.

2) A scene from a book.

3) A script of your own work.

4) Any of the above with a chosen auteur.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

I have to think of something that would constitute a 10 minute script (roughly a page a minute).  Right now, I am considering The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe.  It would fit the ten minute scenario.  Or Tell Tale Heart.

Decisions, decisions.

I am going with Tell Tale Heart - I have found a great animation that will inspire me with my own script.

It's a bit Ren and Stimpy, but it's a quirky angle that I appreciate.  I have been digging through Youtube and found music that may go with my script.

Kevin MacLeod - Ghost Processional

Kevin MacLeod - Air Prelude

Kevin MacLeod - Teeny Empty Urns

I have edited the words I need to use, tomorrow I am going to story board it and then consider the script directions.

YIKES... that was a brilliant horrible wonderful extraordinary animation. I am amazed that someone was so clever... and the facial arrangements ....gaaaahhh. BRILLIANT.

So you've got to do a 'film' script (or theatre stage script) for The Tell-tale Heart. A new 'take' on this plot.

(GOd it was really awful... I can't get those faces out of my head!!!)

The music is pretty damn good. You don't have to provide piccies tho? just the script in writing and music to listen to while reading?

Sounds super. Can we have a peek/listen please???

Argh yer a darlin' so y'are. I shall be really SO interested in 'script-writing' cos I can't find anywhere with much sense to show me how... and it isn't the same as stage instructions I know.

SUPER darling and I shall also be interested in your markings.. do they kindly tell you why you are marked up or down??? that's always nice to know.

OH good luck and you ARE clever... so clever.
