To fit all of the script that I have chosen into my five minute short, I have had to make a number of changes. Whilst making these changes, I have also had to adapt the script into a screenplay, so that it can suit the screen, not just a performance area. These include:
• Cutting out all of Scene 3 and 4
• Cutting down unnecessary dialogue
• Making the film appropriate to the screen
The decision to cut out all of Scenes 3 and 4 was a tough one, because it seems to thicken out the whole story, but I still think it all flows together nicely without them there. This also makes the filming easier as I don’t have to film more scenes on location or worry about casting other actors and actresses. Some of the dialogue, certain words and lines that I didn’t think were necessary for the scenes continuity were also cut out, because I felt that I needed to cut a lot of valuable seconds so that I could fit it all into my five minute time frame.
You can see my amended script in the next post.
