Script to Screen
Choose from one of the following scenes (you can do all of it or a small part) then make a storyboard from the script:
You should think about how you will communicate a sense of the status of various characters and also the time period in which the film is set. You must include the camera angle, movement and position. Compare your ideas to the sequences from Oliver Twist (Polanski:2005).
Remember there is not a
'right' way to adapt a novel or other source material.
The way you do this will depend on the various choices
and experiences that you make and bring to the text.
Look at the script below consider how many characters there
are, their actions, the dialogue and their movements, what
sort of mood is developed, is it tense, sad etc. How will you
communicate this to your audience? This is exactly the same
information that the director and storyboard artists would
have used to create what we see on screen. You will need to read
the script carefully to pick up the information
that you want to use to when you construct the storyboard.
*This process relies to an extent on the way that small groups
or individuals represent others. Think about
your choices, for example have you dressed characters in a
stereotypical way?
