The Screenplay is in Motion

I have returned with the beginnings of our script. Or at least the beginnings of our fake script. Let me explain.

Since our film takes place inside of a fictional script, we essentially have to develop the fake screenplay alongside our actual one. This is what Oliver began writing, and it is full of cliches and cheesy lines typical of 2000’s era coming of age films. I thought that he was able to embrace these tropes well, as shown through the protagonist skateboarding, the classic getting ready for school montage, and of course, no teen movie is complete without the main character being late for school. I think this is a great start for the short film, and with the inclusion with a couple more scenes, we will be more than well off when it comes to our fake script. Here it is below: 



Next, I think I will begin giving a hand in writing the actual screenplay, that way each element is developed in conjunction with each other and we can get the story done at a quicker pace. Time to stretch my typing hands as I have a lot of writing ahead of me!
