Storyboard and Script

The next step was to develop our storyboard for the preliminary task including the camera angle, e.g. shot reverse shot and the 180 degree rule, close-ups and an action match (opening a door.) This is our main idea, but it has been developed as we've discussed the available location and the 180 degree rule. We chose two of our friends, Matt Ahluwalia and Daniel Blake. Matt played the guilty criminal and Daniel played the upset victim.

The Initial Script

This is the script we wrote as part of our storyboard before we began filming. We later added and re invented lines for our two actors:

Victim: Have you been in my bag after my phone?
Criminal: No I don't know of any phone.
Victim: Well, one of my friends said he saw you snooping around and take my phone.
Criminal: Okay, you can have it back! I was just looking. Anyway it's a rubbish phone, I don't need it.
I don't even know what I was doing.
Victim: *Gives a rude look and walks off in a huff*

We altered the lines so that it fitted the scene and the type of characters we were aiming for: Stereotype teenage lads. For example we switched 'friends' to 'mates'
Our 'criminal' actor strayed from the script and swore, but we decided that it was worth keeping for its humour and to demonstrate confidence in our use of speech. It worked well, except we noticed a sudden change in his tone of voice from the previous lines implying falsely that he was suddenly being rude and it almost disrupted his personality and appearance.
