Story to Screen

The final draft of my screenplay is called ‘Dead Beat’ and our genre is going to be romance. My partner and I decided on this name because one of the main characters dies and new story begins after his last heart beat.

As a class we read out our screenplays, then we discussed them and gave some opinions. We changed our old screenplay because we were missing many things, e.g. title and transition.

My partner and I decided to change our story because, our classmates suggested that we should change our location and how the main character should die. We added transitions in; we also added the title to complete our screenplay. 

 The first shot of our opening is fade in because it will be our transition. The next scene will cut to another action which will be at Loisa’s room. It cuts again whem Liam sends a message to Loisa to see if she was the girl he’s looking for and apologies  to her. After  that the transition is going to be pop up because when you get a messages in Instagram it pops on the screen.  After  they have talked and decided where to  meet and when.  We will have a split shot of Liam and Loisa in their own rooms getting ready so you could see both of them in one screen because, having both of them in one screen will not take much time as having each one alone.  Later on it cuts to Loisa in her room, she gets a throwback of her knocking on Liam’s door and there was no answer.  We will use fase as the transition because, most of the movies use fade to show a throwback with a vintage color to show it happened in the past. When Loisa finishes getting ready, we will have a shot of Liam waiting for Loisa with flowers and a card next to him at the restaurant.  When Loisa is late, Liam can not wait anymore so  he calls her.  At the end our last scene will be outside Al-Lewan where they see each other. Liam runs to her and a car crash him.

We still did not decide our angles and camera shots, when we make our storyboard we will decide on it.

This is our screenplay.
