Final Major Project Script

This script was created after my Final Major Project video to tell the audience how I wanted
to create my shots. It is a script about how I captured the different weather changes and how I
set up and angled my camera to capture these changes. My intention was to capture a ‘typical’
Spring Day and this I was aiming to achieve via multi location shooting, interchangeable
weather patterns and varying light. With this time of year always unsettled and unpredictable,
I hope that the final piece I have put together can be argued as my view of a ‘typical’ Spring
Day!
I rewatched my video and talked about the different experiences I encountered when I was
out recording my clips.
--------------------------------------------------------------
INT. HOME MORNING
(OPENING SCENE IN MY HOUSE RECORDED THOUGH MY BEDROOM WINODW)
The scene is set, to capture a typical Spring Day with a
beautiful sunrise, filmed from the view of my bedroom window.
I positioned the camera so that it pointed up towards the sky
to capture the sun rising from behind the houses opposite.
EXT. HOME MORNING

INT. BEACH MIDDAY

(CHANGE OF LOCATION, SANDBANKS BEACH)
My FMP is centred around Time-lapse and Motion and I wanted to
capture water movement. I decided that the best location was
to set the camera on the beach and leave it to record. This
captured water movement as well as cloud formation.

INT. CORNWALL DAY

(CHANGE OF LOCATION, MY HOLIDAY IN CORNWALL – OUTSIDE HILL TOP
VIEW AND BLOSSOM TREE)
A cold windy but sunny start to the day allowed for some
outdoor filming. I positioned the camera to capture from the
side of the object to maximise movement, light and best angle
- (Note, this was short lived and a change in the weather,
quickly saw the winds growing stronger, which in turn changed
the temperature in the air. The weather change saw clouds
start to form and dramatically build up in the sky, turning it
a darker grey and the rain started to pour – quick change of
location to indoors!)
(CHANGE OF LOCATION, MY HOLIDAY IN CORNWALL – INSIDE COTTAGE)
(Note, I was at the advantage of seeing the advancing storm
which meant I was able to capture at the right time). I placed
the camera to record from the bedroom window of the cottage to
give me the best angle to capture the apple tree in full
blossom swinging and swaying in the wind and rain (as a note,
the final scene captured an unexpected hailstorm, which added
to the drama!).
EXT. CORNWALL DAY

INT. POOLE PARK AFTERNOON

(CHANGE OF LOCATION, POOLE PARK TREES)
I felt it was important to capture an area or location more
than once to show change. For these sequences I set up the
camera in two locations to capture tree motion and cloud
motion from different angles, as well as people movement as
they went about their afternoon – This part was challenging as
people would stop and stare at the camera, rather than just
move though!
EXT. POOLE PARK AFTERNOON

INT. GRANDPARENTS HOUSE AFTERNOON

(CHANGE OF LOCATION, GRANDPARENTS HOUSE, BIRD SHOT)
I have added this in as an addition as my Grandparents have a
lot of birds visit the garden. Setting up my camera in their
backroom I was able to capture the birds feeding and watching
the camera as well as the changing sky behind them. This
addition give more to my theme of motion throughout the day.

INT. HOME EVENING

(CHANGE LOCATION TO HOME RECORDED OUTSIDE IN MY BACKGARDEN)
This final set of clips needs to finish off the day with a
beautiful sunset. The camera needed to remain focused on the
changing light as well as the cloud movement and this was
achieved using a tripod and allowing ample time to capture the
final moments of my Spring Day.
EXT. HOME EVENING

INT. POOLE PARK EVENING

(CHANGE LOCATION TO POOLE PARK LAKE)
Scene returns to a more tranquil weather setting capturing the
moments as the water peacefully moves across the lake. The
addition of members of the public enjoying the setting sun as
they take a stroll or walk the dog reflecting the ending of
the working day.
