shooting schedule.

i'd rather sleep my whole life away than have you keep me from dreaming.

script: final.

The wedding scene fades in TYLER and MEGAN are walking down the aisle. SARAH follows behind.
SARAH V.O
My friends Tyler and Charli were the perfect couple, but their best friend Meg.... WAIT! This isn’t the right part. One second…

(After a moment’s silence, you hear the non diegetic sound of a tape recorder being pressed, and the whole trailer rewinds.)
SARAH V.O
Ah, here we go sorry, I’m new to this! Tyler and Charli are the perfect couple, but their best friend Meg... she doesn’t really get it.

INT. SCHOOL CORRIDOR - DAY.
TYLER and CHARLI are walking through the door into school, the colour is over exaggerated and pronounced to fool the audience into thinking this is a very happy occasion. The camera zooms out and as it does so, the colour fades and we see MEGAN sitting alone.
Fades to MEGAN outside TYLER’s house


EXT. HOUSE - NIGHT.
Megan is practicing his speech.
MEGAN
Jaime, will you come to the prom? Jaime, I love you, will you come to the prom with me? Jaime, I love you more than Brett does, come to the prom with me instead?

The door opens and reveals TYLER and he drags her in through the door

Oh you’re finally here to help! Prom starts in half an hour!
as he’s being dragged in, fast cut to CHARLI and MEGAN are in TYLER’s room

EXT. PAVEMENT - NIGHT.
MEGAN sitting on the sidewalk looks at her watch, car reverses, and she gets in!

EXT. PARK - NIGHT.
Fade to MEGAN sitting alone on a bench talking to a cat about her problems.
MEGAN
I wish Tyler loved me, y’know like I love him? I’ve been his best friend for so long now and my feelings have changed. (The cat poops on her shoe and she sighs.) Nothing changes really, does it?

Fade to CHARLI climbing the tree to save the cat. Fast cut to CHARLI on the floor with blood surrounding her and people screaming.

INT. HOSPITAL WAITING ROOM.
Jaime and Nathan are sitting in a waiting room and Jaime is crying on Nathan’s shoulder. She looks up and Nathan looks into her eyes, and in a long embrace they look like they’re going to kiss but a doctor appears with the news of Brett’s death.
DOCTOR
I’m very sorry to tell you this.... but Charli’s injuries were severe and she... she die.... (she shakes her head) She passed away. Ahem, sorry this is my first day.

TYLER and MEGAN cry. A lot.

INT. BEDROOM - NIGHT.
TYLER and MEGAN are consoling each other on the bed. TYLER sweeps MEGAN’s hair back and wipes away her tear. They kiss.

No... Mega..

I’m sorry... I.. I.. love you

Tyler takes a moment of deliberation and they begin kissing again.

INT. BEDROOM - MORNING.
Megan wakes up and sees Tyler leaving.
MEGAN
Tyler? What are you....

TYLER
I can’t do this, I’m sorry... I never should have... I...I

MEGAN
She was going to ask you to move in with her, Tyler. At prom, Tyler, she was going to ask you to move in.

TYLER stumbles back, haphazardly reaches for the door handle and runs out.
THREE YEARS LATER.

V.O TYLER
It’s been three years, Brad. I haven’t been since... she.. passed. Would you come with me?

SARAH
Like, who?!

TYLER sighs.
TYLER
Charli.. You know. My ex nearly housemate, best friend of the girl I slept with the day she died. Ring any bells for you?

SARAH
Oh... Erm yeah totally. Why haven’t you been since?

TYLER
I... don’t like the smell of graveyards.

Whilst this is being said, fade into the graveyard. TYLER and SARAH are walking toward the graves as you see a figure in the distance. TYLER recognises this as MEGAN, SARAH asks if it’s a ghost.
Fade out.

EXT. CHURCH - DAY.
MEGAN and TYLER are getting married.
PRIEST:
Do you, Tyler Gaylord Rodrigo Edwardo Constance Reeves take Megan Louise Harper to be your awful-ahem-lawful wedded wife?

CHARLI appears at the altar, between both of them; MEGAN sees this and looks visibly shaken.
MEGAN
No... I mean... Uh... Yeah... I mean uh

She stumbles back into SARAH.
SARAH
Hey, getoffame! Creep!

He slaps him. MEGAN runs towards CHARLI. TYLER, in a fit of psychotic rage begins to rip up her bouquet and uses it as confetti.
TYLER
I’m married! I’m married damnit. THROW CONFETTI. THROW CONFETTI OVER ME NOW.

SARAH throws confetti at her face. TYLER huffs a piece out of her hair.

V.O SARAH
There... was like totally a girl at the altar between you both... did you... not see her? She wasn’t even colour coordinated, wearing black to a wedding... is she like retarded or something?

V.O TYLER
There was a girl in black? Did she have glasses? Like, slightly wonky.. Looks like she’s had them for years?

V.O SARAH
Yeah, I bet they were from a charity box or something.

While all of this is happening MEGAN is with CHARLI. MEGAN gets really really angry at CHARLI, and begins to fight her. The camera zooms out and MEGAN is fighting thin air, CHARLI is only visible to MEGAN. The priest/doctor is now a passer by. MEGAN raises an eyebrow.
PRIEST/DOCTOR/PASSER-BY
I got fired. A lot.
CUT TO LATER IN SCENE - MEGAN is breathing heavily and she looks up at CHARLI scornfully.

MEGAN
Why are you back? Are you.. er... haunting me? I’ll go to confession, (She begins to shout the priest who passed by earlier) I’ll let go of my sins!!!!!!

CHARLI
Shut up.

MEGAN comes closer to CHARLI.
MEGAN
You stink.. like, actually the definition of stink.

CHARLI
I never got told how to use the shower, all those knobs and buttons. It’s so new age!

INT. HOUSE - NIGHT
TYLER and MEGAN are making out on the sofa, getting funky. CHARLI walks in and MEGAN becomes very uncomfortable.
CHARLI
(Laughing) Sorry.

She winks.
CHARLI reappears with popcorn and beer, MEGAN winces.
CHARLI, MEGAN, SARAH and TYLER are in a cinema, there is an empty space between TYLER and MEGAN, for the ghost CHARLI. TYLER is visibily agitated, he stands up.
TYLER
CHARLI, GET A LIFE... (He realises she is dead) Oh...errr.. STAY OUT OF MINE.


INT. BEDROOM - NIGHT.
Tyler is lying in bed, Megan walks in and sees he is wearing a dress. She opens her eyes wide and in the background we see CHARLI laughing.
V.O SARAH
How is he here? Is he ever going to go? Will Jaime and Nathan ever get married? Well, how the hell should I know? Go to the cinema, Fall 2010..

there is a beautiful ending but you're never gonna read the book. i know you won't.

filming x3.

On Wednesday 25th November, we went to Kingsway church to film the wedding scene. We had extra's in it as they just wanted to tag along, and the filming of it went well. Charlotte Cooper came to play the priest, and the passer-by.
We, firstly, filmed the fight scene between Charli & Megan up by the skip. This was done with 2 mid shots, then an over the shoulder which let the passer-by be in shot as she was talking. The 2nd mid shot was with my character out of shot, to show that nobody else could see the ghost.
The wedding shot was filmed with mid/long shots, and the ghost popping up behind the bride & groom. An over the shoulder shot from where the ghost appeared allows the audience to see the priest talking.

we have to stay alive, because we have to see how the story ends.

camera map: first draft

it's not perfect, and its nowhere near complete, but its the first draft.







love can mend your life, but love can break your heart.

storyboard: first draft.

half of my heart is a shot gun wedding to a bride with a paper ring, and half of my heart is the part of a man who's never truly loved anything.

filming x2.

Because of the script having to be changed, we have only filmed scenes without scripted lines. We went to Kingsway church, on the 20th of November, and filmed the fight between the two girls; Megan and Charli. We also filmed Megan throwing an invisible Charli into a skip. We later found out that the parts we filmed didn't have sound, and this will need to be refilmed at a later date. The alternative to refilming is to add audio on top of the clip during editing, so this is also an option if we run out of filming time.

how can i keep on driving when i left my heart with you?

script:first draft.

This is the first draft of the script we created, following the original storyline. This involves the characters of Lois, Nathan, Jaime and Brett. The script for the new trailer is still in production, and I will post it as soon as it is finished.
