Studio Production: Creating the scripts for VT

Creating the scripts for the VT
Before creating the script I came across this quote; 

 "If you haven't decided what the story is, how are you to know whether something is going to help you tell it or not?" - (Lewis, I. 2000: 107) This really put it into perspective the importance of planning and creating the right foundation for something to be executed well.

 When creating the script there were a few things that I needed to remember in order to be on the right track from the beginning because I was still unsure about how to structure a script properly.
“A good script will be laid out in the conventional way, and will contain extensive stage directions…roughly 80 percent visual, 20 percent verbal” (Bramford, 2013: 39)
using the gued they gave me I was able to construct my script with the help of my own pre production notes as well as a rough guideline for the proportions within the script. Below are examples of the guide as well as the scripts for the First set of VTs

(Bramford, 2013: 40)



I believe my first draft script is formatted correctly when compared to the example given within the text. I am very happy that I have been able to have a guide of somewhat as it would've been much more difficult to write. Even though we have written scripts with Steve Coombs before, it was still a very long time ago. 
Next steps

  • Begin to start sourcing potential actors for Norman
  • Get feedback on the draft scripts
  • Test out ideas

I watched a lot of youtube tutorials and I realised that there is a technique to creating such pieces but I was really willing to try it out. Usually you would need to make a a cast for the persons face but I decided to simplify it for myself and just use  plate. I learnt that this could be just as good after watching someone create a brilliant prosthetic that way.  In the video here you can see that she has moulded the clay in to the desired shape and preps it for the covering of the liquid latex. I then proceeded to doing the same.   I was using coloured, oil based clay for mine. I was then required to sprinkle flour over mine to thicken the layer of the latex. I would repeat that until I was happy with the thickness. In the same tutorial, she moulded teeth for her zombie and I thought it would've been cool to do the same. ...
