3) Script and Storyboard Development

Before being able to start writing our script, we spent some time researching and looking into different websites and programs that might suit our need - unfortunately, a lot of them had locked features that we would have to pay for. Also, some of the free programs didn't allow for collaborative editing, which is exactly what we needed, especially during the situation with COVID - we needed something that can be easily accessed and edited by all of us remotely.

With some luck, we found out about a Google Docs extension that had the all the general things that we needed. With a little bit of external research and help from our teacher, we figured out what things were necessary to include and the format of how the script should be written.

Below is the script in its entirety; we spent quite some time coming to the version that it has reached now. It was a demanding process, in my personal opinion, we each had some initial ideas and then connected them and continued to spend time - either together in person at school, or online over Google Meet when we couldn't otherwise - drafting and connecting ideas into this format.

Overall, I really like the idea we've come up with for the film opening. It presents the main idea of the possibly story really well, and might leave the viewer guessing as to what has just happened during the whole segment. I hope we can film to the entirety of what we imagine, but I am sure some obstacles shall arise - this doesn't mean we cannot overcome them, though. I believe we might stray from the script in some points, but in any case this is an excellent beginning into our coursework's process.
