OCT / NOV 09 RE FORMATTING THE SCRIPT: 'What would you do for a pair of shoes?'

I found this a challenge to organise.

My Group wanted me to Re Format Scenes 2 and 5.

I had never used the Script Writing Software: 'Celtx' before. I made a film for ALevel called 'I Never Eat Anything For Lunch', my class mate and I wrote the script 6 or 7 times but we never used 'Celtx'. We were never told about it.

Scene 2, appeared to contain 3 shots / Scenes.

A. Clare outside the Jobshop.
B. Clare seen inside the Jobshop.
C. Clare back outside the Jobshop.

All of these scenes were at different times.

An Important Note = Scene 2C, 'Beautiful Shoes', they are very important to the actual film. The Film Makers have to convey Clare's desire for shoes. Show, don't tell.

Big Decision I faced about shooting Scene 2, either shoot it as two scenes or 3 scenes?

I chose to Re Format Scene 2 as 3 seperate scenes because visually the audience will see 3 different set ups:
Clare arriving
Clare inside Job center
Clare outside.

Celtx allowed the writers to add in fine details such as: Props, Sound Effects etc.
