Coursework Planning: Script Ideas  

Script

Are we going to be using a script and why?

We plan, at the moment, to not include any speech at all in our two minute opening. This means that we won't write a script for our film. We don't want anybody speaking because we think that as our film is a thriller it should create as much suspense as possible. One of the ways we can do this is by not including any other noise or sound other than the background music or noise made by the props. The background 'music' is some background music we found on Soundcloud that represents our genre and film well as it contains some creepy/suspense sounds. So, to have dialogue would ruin the atmosphere we are trying to create. Another reason not to have dialogue is because I think that having dialogue would distract the viewers from what's happening with the character in the film but they would instead listen more to what they were saying. Also, if we were to have dialogue then we aren't too sure of what would be said. Due to the fact we don't want to show any of the character other than their hands so the audience can make their assumptions, it would be giving away their voice. The only other option would be if we had a narrator, (either the character's voice or someone else) over the top, perhaps, describing something that happened a long time ago.
