Script

 YAYYY I FINISHED MY SCRIPT!!!

I have really been procrastinating making this, but I just got down to business and said screw it.

Its short because I find it really hard to write my thoughts down exactly how I want to, but I think I've done it the best that I can!! I didn't want to incorporate a lot of dialogue, so that definitely contributes to the length. I tried my best for formatting, I remember making a script back in eighth grade, but its still foggy so I just put my own touch to it!

I did actually really enjoy the script writing if I'm being honest, I was dreading it but I felt so fancy using it and it really has helped me to plan my idea's out the best that I can!! I was really happy with my outcome and I think that it will make my filming process a lot smoother...

I need to create a planning for the filming day soon, but for now I focused on the script! :)

Here it is...!!

MC walks through the LIVING ROOM, past the STAIRS, and stops by the piano. All of this will be a continuous shot, that has a VERY SLOW zoom out. 

SHOT CONTINUES to show the MC stopping by the PIANO, putting the food down, taking out her HEADPHONES, and than pulling out the bench. SHOT ENDS. 

Various CLOSE UP and MEDIUM shots of the MC running their hands over the KEYS, keep the movement, get lots of ANGLES.
