In todays session we focused mainly on short films and how to construct them, mainly focusing on scripting and story boarding.
The excercise we completed was on taking a script for a short film and turning it into a step outline. The purpose of a step outline is to condense a script into a series of statements/statuses about each scene. In this case we had 10 scenes to break down into basic one sentence summaries.
It makes it an easy way to describe the film to some one without them having to read the entire script.
The basic things to include in the step outline is location and action. What should not be included is: dialogue, character description and reason for scene.
The original script looks something like this:
Converting this into a step outline would be more concise:
