editing planning
1) Discuss what your preliminary exercise will involve – make notes on your blogpost of location, sequence of events, casting etc.
Location - My house
event - i will enter a door and showcase this with a close up of my hand entering the door and another angle from within the room
casting - myself playing both roles
2) Write a short script for the preliminary exercise. Remember, scripts outline movement and shots as well as dialogue. The BBC Writer's Room is a brilliant resource for tips and examples of TV scriptwriting. Here's a genuine TV script example from Luther to check you are formatting your script correctly.
person 1 : who are you
person 2 : im your long lost identical twin
ive brought you here to tell you something
person 1 : what
person 2 : were not from this earth , were aliens from a distant planet who came here to gather intel on this planet for an alien invasion within the next week
person 1 : but thats not possible
person 2 : faliure to comply will end with execution , do you comply
persom 1 : yes
3) Write a shot list of every possible shot (and a few extra) you will need for this preliminary exercise. An example shot list is here.
reading letter - close up of letter
hand opens door - close up
each person talking - medium shot
