What I Did
I created a mockup of all the scenes for my film and a list of all the props and locations I need. I bought my props on Amazon and contacted the actors. I started my script and plan on finishing it this week.
Why I Did It
I created the mockup to help get all my ideas together and help me plan locations and props. I bought props to make my film more cinematic and enjoyable. I contacted the actors to start getting them to think about when they are free. I started my script, so I will have plenty of time to make changes before filming.
Mockup:
Props:
- Beard
- Blood
- Fake fur for ears
- Fake nose/teeth
- Bicycle (roommates)
Locations:
- Living room of my apartment
- Playground near my apartment
- Rose-red laying on her couch covered in blankets watching Netflix and eating chips
- There is a knock at the door
- She sighs but gets up to answer it
- She opens the door and shuts it real fast
- There is a bear at her door
- She hesitantly opens the door again and sees the bear shivering
- She invites him in and gives him a blanket
- He takes over what she is watching on Netflix and starts eating her chips
- She is irritated but he thanks her and she is too nice to say anything
- He overstays his welcome
- Brags about his wealth and treasure he has at home
- Loitering on her couch and eating all her food
- When spring comes he finally decides to leave to her relief
- He explains that dwarves hibernate during the winter so they leave his treasure alone but when it starts getting warm they try to steal his treasure
- A few days latter Rose-red went for a bike ride and saw a dwarf had gotten his long beard stuck in chain links of a swing
- She got off her bike took out her knife and cut his beard free
- He cursed her for cutting off his beard and took off with a bag full of stolen goods
- In the next three days Rose-red saw the dwarf three more times
- He was always in peril because of his beard and Rose-red had to cut it each time
- The dwarf was always angry and ungrateful of Rose-red’s help
- The last time she encountered the dwarf he was being attacked by the bear
- The dwarf got away and seeing her hid behind her
- He kept pushing Rose-red toward the bear, insulting him and telling him to take her instead at the same time
- The bear was so enraged that he did not recognize Rose-red at first
- She got tired of the dwarf trying to get the bear to attack her so she shoved him hard out of her way
- The dwarf hit his head on a rock and lay dead
- Rose-red is first horrified at accidentally killing the dwarf and becomes startled when the bear starts to glow
- The bear turns into a handsome man
- The bear explains he is actually a prince who was cursed by the dwarf for not willingly giving him his gold
- The bear thanks Rose-red for ending his curse by killing the dwarf and as a reward says she can be his wife.
- She looks at the bear in disgust and kicks him in the shin
- She says something like that isn’t a reward. If he wanted to reward her, send the money he would have used on a wedding to the dwarfs family for he didn’t deserve to die even he stayed as a bear for the next hundred years
- She heads back home by herself
- (Last two bullets need revision)
