1. SCRIPT BREAKDOWN SHEET
“No Escape”
Cast
Alexa Ash – Mother/ Sibling
Jake DeCosta – Bullied person
Technical equipment
The equipment that we are going to be
using is a camera to film these scenes,
with maybe a tripod so that the shots are
smooth and steady. We will also be used
a boom microphone in order to film the
audio/dialogue for the scene.
Costume
The characters will be wearing their
own clothing as this will be natural for
the school environment so will make
the trailer more realistic.
We want this natural setting for the
trailer as it is set in a school so we
want the feeling to be naturalistic and
representative.
Props
There will be no props for this scene
as the abuse that the person is going
through is more verbal in this scene so
we will not need any props.
Location
We will be filming in Alexa Ash’s house
in the kitchen as this will create a natural
home environment for the characters and
the audience watching this scene.
Transport
We will need to walk to this location
as this is one of the actors house that
we are using in order to make this
scene seem more realistic and in the
environment that this scene would
normally happen in.
