Scripting

Instead of using a script for our film trailer I decided to base my direction around Mike Leigh's early work and let the actors find their own style and create their own character as i thought this process may bring the characters a more rounded style. we did this by constructing a scene in wich all of the characters would enter and leave at some point. the actor would have to follow the story as it developed through the scene and could create a feeling for their character. in order that the scene did not dry out and stop running due to lack of ideas i used my character as a starting point and moved into the scene if the other characters were ever stuck. I also created character profiles for each character to help them get an idea of how their character would act and why.
