Our Screenplay
Our screenplay was written by Kyle and Kevin with contributions from myself and Leslie as we were getting on with the storyboard. Each page of our screenplay will last roughly 1 minute. We had to think carefully about what Limbos script would be in the opening sequence as we had to make sure it wasn't too long or it would eat into our total opening sequence time. We had to make it short and effective. In order to think of a script, we also had to choose a game that Limbos character (Leslie) would enjoy to see if he would come up with any lines himself. As we tested this, it seemed to have worked as he naturally said "Get in the car" which we thought was perfect to put into our opening sequence. This was because it gives the audience the feel that he is really into the game and takes it seriously.
Once we established Limbos speech, we then had to think of another way of portraying his feelings to the audience. We decided to utilise our screenplay to do exactly that. We added actions into our screenplay which told the character (Leslie) to look frightened as well as throwing the Playstation controller onto the floor. The screenplay allowed the characters to grasp all of their actions and scripts clearly so that they can act it out accordingly.
Moreover, we agreed to add our sound effects and soundtracks into our screenplay as it allowed us to layout our entire opening sequence and check if there are any errors. For example, if we added the heart beat sound somewhere other than the start, we could use our screenplay to interpret whether or not it would suit that scene. As well as finding errors, our screenplay also allowed us to reduce our editing time as it clearly stated all of the editing techniques going to be used. For example, at the very end, it says "Finishes with immediate cut" which tells us when were editing, that we need to place an immediate cut there.
Lastly, we also stated which camera shots need to be used in each scene. This would aid us to complete our production efficiently as we have stated what we need to do beforehand.
