The start of our screenplay...

Hi. Today the MADE Awards group started to write a screenplay for Bella the Bully-Proof Kid. A screenplay is like a script, but it includes all the detail of where your filming and the actions of the characters, as well as what they are saying to each other.  Katie gave us a copy of the screenplay for "The Lion King" We watched the opening scene - every single thing that happened on the screen, was written in the screenplay!

Here is a small bit of what we did today:


“Bella the Bully-Proof Kid”
By - Norton, Rhylee, Charlie and Travis
Norton=  Luna
Charlie=Billy
Travis=BJ

SCENE 1

EXT Waihopai School

Three children are standing in a circle out in a school playground.  BJ looks mad, BILLY and LUNA looked terrified! BJ is pushing at BILLY and LUNA.  The screen fades away as the title comes onto the screen. “ARE YOU BEING BULLIED?” 


It was really hard to try and think of the ideas for the script.  We will keep working on this next week.

  1. Man it sounds like you have to put a lot of detail into your script - it will be hard work but will so much easier when you go to act/ film it - Yay!!
    Will be great to see what process you go through to get your movie done!

  2. Hey Norton
    I have decided that you are capable of much better writing and reflection than is evident n this blog so this week I would like you to please include:
    - At least 1 photo to show what you are talking about
    - 1 thing you are wondering about based on what you have been doing
    - Some sort of a reflection on a question you had
    - What you want to find out next time
    - An exciting start so I want to read it!!
    - Highlights/ exciting bits/ funny bits/ something amazing/ something random
    Thanks!!
    I look forward to seeing what you come up with!
