SCRIPT DEVELOPMENT:
Today was our last workshop with Steve Finn, director of Eastenders, and we were given a little "homework" assignment to do for our workshop today. We were given each a four/five page script that we had to develop and analyse in order to direct it in today's lecture. I got the 'Ted & Jo' script, which is about acouple that seems to be having troubles with their marriage and the wife is leaving her husband and son behind, after the husband coming back from work with exciting news.
Whilst reading the script, I got two impressions. The first one was that the husband could be an alcoholic trying to persuade his wife to stay by telling her about the money they'll earn from the project he's working on and how they'll eventually find their happiness through money but left at the end helpless at home with his son that he doesn't even want to have any responsibility for.
My second impression, was that the husband may have been psychologically abusive towards his wife, by threatening her (maybe about not being able to have custody of the child if she ever left him), and so as he returns from work and she has given-up & has finally decided to leave him and the child, we see his mood change from calm, caring, loving and weak to a strong, demanding, aggravated and threatening monster. We see this of course by the change of his tone as he raises the volume of his voice multiple times throughout the scene.
And yes, as you can see from the scans I made of my script and through my notes, I decided to go with my second idea.
Actors: Lex Wilkinson & Kate Sargent
Camera: Andrei Allen
Sound: Sam Babington
Overall, I liked how it came out. However, I did have a little bit of trouble with where my camera had to be and at the beginning I wasn't sure about the 180º line, but I am grateful that Steve Finn taught in his own way how it could work out.
I will attach my video to this post soon, and hope you liked how I developed this script.
Thanks for reading,
Yours,
I.
