In our project we have to produce a short film. Firstly we must draft the script for it a present at class on week 5. I prepare to research some skills to write it. This link is very helpful. The script must be close to our topic and fun, interesting as well. In this link, the first step in making a short script understands why we produce this film, the target audiences. The short film must be 1, 2 or 3 characters. Because it just 5, 10 minutes, and we can not create so much character that will be make audiences confusedly. The characters in short film is very important, we have to explore their problem. The problems will make the short film meaningful and valuable. And how the audience recognize the problem? The audience must be clear from the outset that the film is about. The main character is the one who has the problem and if there isn’t a character in the story with a problem then we don’t have a film, or at least not one that will work as a dramatic narrative. So the fact that making a short film so hard because the problem will be short but also sharp enough to audience enjoy. When we have character and problem, we just start to write an edit in the writing process. After that we discuss with teammate and classmate for finalizing.
