I'm looking forward to this project as i like the idea of taking a script that none of the production team have been involved in writing and trying to make our own interpretation of it.
I think every member of my group has reservations about the script and the story however so we've decided to rewrite the whole thing.
We have taken away the dialogue and decided to a silent film with the music directing the audience instead of forced conversations. This also halved our fears about getting good actors as the script no longer requires that much from the performers.
Here is a brief outline of the script as we are going to shoot it:
- Dan (the protagonist) is lying in bed. There is an argument happening in the room next to him that he can hear clearly. The argument is about him and is between his parents.
- He stands up and leaves the room through a door.
- When he walks through the door he is suddenly in a library. He looks back into his room and then curiously walks through the library.
- He walks through another door and is once again teleported but this time to a cafe.
- He keeps walking through doors and teleporting to various locations and as he does so he becomes more confident and almost cocky.
- He teleports outside and there is a couple walking down the street. The girl looks at him which sets the man off into a jealous rage.
- He runs through a car door and is teleported into a porch.
- He is visibly distressed and leaves the porch.
- As he walks home he sees the girl, they look at each other and the film ends.
I'm a little bit worried about the story but i feel that if everything is filmed well and the actors, in particularly Dan, perform well then the film will be a success.
