2. As I learned before, pre-production is one of the most important parts of
production, that will help every other step of production to go smoothly.
I will mention such things as location search, cast and equipment.
Introduction
3. Script development
In the picture it's the final version of my script, in my blog I
uploaded the first version as well. Some of the scenes were
cut out because they weren't creating any meanings and
some scenes were changed due to lack of desired locations,
such as a beach shore - there is only promenade I can use in
my city.
Im still happy with how the script turned out, even though
some details were not the same as I imagined them to be.
4. Location search
In my opening scene a lot of locations is used, as I need to show the audience that
the main characters are always in move and travelling all the time.
List of locations
1 home -kitchen
2 store
3 train/trolley
4 railways
5 field
6 promenade
7 home - bedroom
But i wast really choosy about the
location, so the usual store nearby and
my friends house worked out perfectly,
same with trolley and promenade.
5. Cast
As actors for my opening scene I took my friends, that
previously participated in shootings with me for
preliminary tasks.
Ulyana, 16yo
character - Rina
Masha, 16yo
character - Athy
6. Props and equipment
Props list:
White shirt
blue jeans
black hoodie
black/grey pants
black jacket
backpacks
some make up tools
Equipment list:
Camera
charger
tripod
7. First female character - and
actually the main female lead -
Rina. She's 19 years old,
always dresses comfortably
and casually, prefers dark
colours. Always looks a bit off,
serious and cold.
Second female lead - Athy.
Looks more soft, wears light
clothes, but not too girly,
because she as well prefers
comfort over style. Light
colours add to her character
the look of innocence and
kind- hearted appearence.
Characters
8. Storyboard
Storyboard was edited only once, because I
have been drawing it after I finished the script,
all the scenes except ept for one were
according to the script.
