Final film script

Scripting

In our production, our actors didn't have a strict script to follow. However, in order to gain desired effects, they were given a set of guidelines to follow regarding what sorts of dialect they should incorporate.

• For example, due to the given location, it was necessary for our actors to communicate with a typical 'Norfolk' accent. This allowed them to fit into their surroundings well and only made the production more believable.
• It would've been difficult to use a script considering the age of Olivia, seeing as she is only four years old. For this reason her parts in the film were entirely improvised, which again made the film seem very real and even more so relatable.
• Due to Olivia's spontaneity, Phoebe and Ben had to base their responses entirely on what she said. Therefore contributing to the reason why no script was created for our film. Both Phoebe and Ben had to speak in almost infantile tones, in order to act as if they truly were parents and the parents of Olivia.
• In the final scene (the police scene) where Olivia wasn't included, a minor script was created. This was to make the scene seem completely realistic and encourage the audience to believe that our actors were based in a Police Station.
