A Script for a Project
« on: November 16, 2007, 06:27:31 am »
My grade just recently went to a camp arranged by the school called Peace Camp, and our Social Studies teacher gave each group a video project to answer the questions she gave us. My group asked me to make the script; tell me what you think about this first draft.

P.S. I took out all of the full names for their owners' safety.

-

Social Studies Video Project

[black screen]

[after a few seconds, the words slowly appear then fade out for the next words:

PRESENTING

A GROUP 5 FILM

FOR SOCIAL STUDIES

[the title suddenly flies in very fast, Music 1 starts to play]

PEACE CAMP: A COMPLETE REFLECTION

[black screen w/ title slides to left, brings in actual video, showing a blank wall]

Eliana: [walks by quickly, slaps onto the wall a piece of paper with tape on it] [goes off-screen]

Paper: STARRING (name), (name), etc.

[screen slides up, brings in next shot of an open door leading into the classroom]

Rovi: [runs on-screen and into the classroom, slamming door shut to reveal another piece of paper taped to it]

Paper: FOR A PROJECT BY (teacher’s name) OF SOCIAL STUDIES

[screen slides to the right, brings in next shot of the floor in the hallway, with stroller bags being pulled by people going by]

[all of the stroller bags leave, revealing a dirty, torn piece of paper on the floor]

Paper: WITH A MUSIC VIDEO ON PEACE CAMP

[Music 1 stops, screen slides down, brings in music video, which plays]

-

[after the music video, screen fades to shot of a small, dark space, only three lines of light in front]

[Mia is seen coming, opens the locker door- the small dark spaces turns out to be the inside of a locker]

Mia: [stares into the camera before bringing up a sign]

Sign: THE QUESTIONS

[cut to front of Michelle sitting in her desk writing on test paper]

Michelle: [looks up, brings test paper up to show something written on the back]

Paper: HOW HAS PEACE CAMP CHANGED YOU?

[very fast shot of the entire group together, talking and laughing]

[cut to Timmy sitting in the teacher’s desk, hands together]

Timmy: [says the answer]

[cut to Liel sitting with her legs in the gym pool, with pants rolled up]

[illustration board in the water slowly floats to her, bumps her in the legs]

Liel: [sees board, picks it up to show to the audience]

Sign: WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNED FROM PEACE CAMP?

[very fast shot, like last time, except the entire group is sitting in the chairs looking down, they suddenly look up]

[cut to Kirstie sitting Indian-style in front of the lockers]

Kirstie: [says the answer]

[cut to the whole group lying down on the grass forming a circle with their heads, they all take pieces of paper off-screen and holding them up together to form a rectangle, on the paper is the last question broken up]

Pieces of paper: WHAT’S NEXT?

Entire group: [take papers down] [say the answer together]

[Music 2 starts to play, the group slowly begins to smile, then suddenly get off the ground to show just the grass]

Nina: [runs back in with piece of paper, lays it on the ground, then runs off-screen again]

Paper: THE END

[close-up of paper]

[credits roll]

Group: [during the credits, each member comes at different times to fix the paper, or move it]

[at the end, Bea walks in to take it away, screen fades to black]


Just a dream, just an ordinary dream as I wake in bed. And the boy, that ordinary boy-

Or was it all in my head?
