After several tutorials and group meeting, we have ensured the short movie will have a Dramatic script. And the synopsis of clip was written by me and another director. The idea and storyline was available to write the script, and then the following task was script writing.

Once the script has been started to prepare, the first step is to break the story into individual scenes, afterward write out a one-sentence description of what happens in each scene, and then give each scene a number. The idea here is to decide how best to tell your story. In the script writing, I also follow two principle that to write the plot of the story in chronological order and to make sure each scene works to bring out one aspect of your story.

In terms of our script, there are four points that should highlight in it. First, I decided use series of montage scenes to present the change of time and location. And the different color of actress’ dress, the color turns form dark to bright, I use the comparison between them to set it as a metaphor which could show the mood of chief actress. It can not ignore the most important and obscure props-photograph, its effect on the whole scripts as a storyline walkthrough our story. Not only the first meeting but also the last scenes that actress received photos from actor, this tiny props appear during start and end. For instances, many scene give the signal that the actress was changing now from the expression of photos. At last, how to link the two main part of our script was most important, it can not so inflexible and unnatural. Thus I think if we interspersed with flashbacks to educe the plot that actress go back to China.

When we address the above points, I have launch into the draft script. During one week, we make sure all the script length, shoot location, majority cast and props are reasonable. The last formal one was written.

For the script writing, this period used one week to create and another week to modify and improve.
