Storyboarding

Shot list and costume list

Today we decided to create a costume and shot list. These lists contain the costume that Barry in Louis will be wearing during the party and park sequence. We also created a shot list which details the shots that are incorporated in the opening sequence.

Typography

Napoleon Dynamite: 

After the production company and film title appears on the screen the rest of the titles rank from the least important to the most important, starting with one of the supporting roles to the director.

An interesting feature about Napoleon Dynamite is that the titles are interacted with by a hand and everything is on an every day objects e.g. lip balm, plates of food and a student ID card. Depending on who the person is in the titles depends on what object they are on, the more important the person the bigger the object they are on.


Fight Club:

The fight club title sequence has an animation in the background of traveling through veins and the human anatomy.

Leap year final screenplay

LEAP YEAR

SETTING: HOUSE

Company logo comes in with Macho Man playing in the background. 10 seconds of party montage. Sped up and slowed down moments. Shots of BARRY and LOUIS drinking a lot and BONNIE not drinking much. Film title comes on screen then goes off and reveals the next scene.

SETTING: PARK

(Extreme close-up of LOUIS’ phone on the grass ringing. Macho Man changes from the background music to his ring tone. Extreme close of LOUIS’S hand twitching. Close up of LOUIS’S foot in the tree. Low angle long shot of LOUIS looking startled in a tree and then proceeds to fall out of the tree next to the phone. Mid shot of a dazed LOUIS on the floor realizing his phone is going off. He picks up and answers the phone.)

LOUIS
Err? Hello?

(Mid-shot of BONNIE talking on the phone)

BONNIE
Where the hell are you two? Its eleven o’clock and neither of you came back last night! Why didn’t you come back last night? I’ve been calling all over the place trying to find you, and you finally answer your phone!

LOUIS
What?

(Close up of LOUIS recoiling from his phone as BONNIE shrieks. Mid-shot of BONNIE)

BONNIE
Where. Are. You?!

(Close up of a terrified LOUIS. Long shot of LOUIS looking around. Pan out shot)

LOUIS
Well, there’s trees and grass and I think I see a pond.

(Long shot of BONNIE grabbing a bag)

BONNIE
So, you’re in the park. Is Barry with you?

(Long shot of LOUIS looking around the park)

LOUIS 

Nah, got any bread? You know, for the ducks? I’m all out.

(Mid-shot of BONNIE as she freezes)

BONNIE
You lost Barry! You blithering idiot! Go and find him now, before he does something stupid! I’m coming into the park now (muffling sounds from the phone) LOUIS? LOUIS? What’s going on?

(Mid shot of Louis feeding his phone to the duck)

LOUIS

Here you go friend.

(Close up shot of BONNIE as she slams down the phone. Long shot of LOUIS as he begins stumbling around. Close up shot of LOUIS in shock)

LOUIS

Oh my sweet Jesus.

(BONNIE walks on to the shot)

BONNIE

LOUIS what happen – what the fuck?!

(Long shot. Camera pans up to reveal Barry taped to the tree.)

LOUIS
Hey, good news, I found Barry
Cello taped to a tree! Fast asleep bless him!

BONNIE
Get him out

LOUIS
I’ll try. *LOUIS starts gnawing the tape.*

BONNIE
You’re useless. I have scissors. In my manicure set.

LOUIS
Sheesh… women.

BONNIE
I wouldn’t need them if you watched him for once. I said he could leave when I left but no, you have to insist and he ends up taped to a tree.

LOUIS
Nothing wrong with a bit of fun.

(BONNIE glares at LOUIS and starts going through her bag for a pair of scissors. Long shot of a still sleeping BARRY. Mid-shot of an annoyed BONNIE and amused LOUIS)

BONNIE

Can you please explain to me how in the hell Barry ended up like this?

LOUIS

Uh... Can you tell me why you're such a bitch?

BONNIE

Louis. Stop being such an arse and at least help me try and get him down.

LOUIS

Hey I tried but my canines aren't doing the trick

(Extreme close up of BONNIE’S hands as she cuts the tape BARRY wakes up as BONNIE cuts the tape.)

BARRY

Morning. Couldn't make us a cuppa would ya?

This is our final screenplay because we were told that our second version was too long and that it should be scaled down so it fits the length of time of our coursework brief.

This is our second draft screenplay. It needs to be cut down so as not to go over the 2 minute limit that we are allowed for our coursework.
