Hey guys, its Inaya again!
Currently, I am in the process of creating the first draft of my script that will stand as the ultimate guide to how I will conduct my production process. I might tweak some things later on, but for now, this is what I came up with! Having my script in place will allow me to organize my ideas and thoughts into words. It will assist me in editing, recording and my guiding actors as it will tell them what to do and what to say.
Before I make my script I thought to myself- how exactly do I make an effective one? Well through some research I got some answers. Studiobinder was able to provide a clear format and instruction on how a script should be written. It provided a well written example that can help me properly create one. I also found a video which explained the basics of screenplay.

Something I also want to do before getting into the specifics of my script is kind of just giving myself a general story to go by so writing my script becomes faster.
I want to start my film opening my showcasing the moments and memories that Zara and Noah have together which are edited and filmed to look like videos taken on a camera to instill a nostalgic feel. In the background, I this I want to have soft sad, and ambient instrumental song. Over this, a monologue will be used that reflects Zara's thoughts, but also implies Noah and the situation that would've taken place during the climax, this being their breakup. After this replay of memories, I want to fade in to the title card being a black screen with the title to create a slow pace. To kind of break this pace, and start into the actual "film", I want to cut into Zara's room, showing stuff about her character and background, then show her helping prepare dinner for her family . Through this, I want to also include an action of her hiding her texts, gifts or flowers from Noah while to contrast how they "don't go together".
Script
This is my completed final draft of the script! If I have to tweak things along the way to fit my opening better I will.
Reflection
After writing the script, I figured a conversation over the phone instead of a family dinner could be more do able as getting enough actors is a bit difficult in my situation. And I was able to include Zara's fear of her secret relationship being found out by her parents through her actions. Now that I have my script completed, I can move on to my storyboard where I'll be able to layout how each of my scenes will play out. This script will help me direct my actors as I can tell them what to say and do. It also will allow me as the film maker to organize my scenes and shots.
