The Girl That Doesn't Speak
What started out as a simple game that her and her father played got out of hand. Bola never spoke a word after one day.
‘’You’re taking this too seriously’’ said Bola’s father. At first, Bola thought it would be funny; she was close to convincing him that she really could not talk. He bought her some gifts, and she thought of giving up the prank but then the gifts her showered her with were what she had wanted for a long time.
The gifts stopped and instead of the situation being a game, Bola decided to continue not speaking to influence her father to buy more gifts. Her father decided that he would not get his daughter to speak by just buying her gifts, instead why not play her at her own game. He knew he would have to find a way for her to speak again; she would only do that if she felt threatened, nothing serious but proving her innocence was important.
Below are images of the shot list, it will change because I am still working on it but at least I have a rough idea of how I want to frame my shots. I think my films will be shorter than anticipated, instead of each being 5 minutes, it is more likely to be 2/3 minutes long.
I definitely found it hard writing the script and I realised that when I was writing the shot list I thought of it in terms of an editor than a cameraman. This did create problems at first but I don't think it is a bad thing thinking of the finished piece when writing the shot list.
