Development of ideas.
We had a group discussion and all threw around ideas until we came up with an agreed story line. There was a few disagreements but everyone was happy with the final outcome. The following is a short script of how our film will play. Oscar from our group will be the actor receiving the tattoo and Ben - a friend of a group member - will act as the tattooist.
*First person through the eyes of Oscar throughout film.
1. Film starts pointing into a light and as the camera moves down Oscar lets of a huge sigh and starts taking deep breaths. He steps towards to door and knocks 3 times then waits.
2. 3 seconds later the door opens and Ben’s head peers out and looks down the corridor in either direction then directly at Oscar. He stares with an intimidating look up and down then gives a hand gesture to call Oscar in and points him to a seat next to a desk and his equipment.
3. ”What you after?” Ben says as he takes a seat whilst putting clear gloves on.
4. Oscar opens up a piece of paper to reveal to the camera an image of a pin up girl. He then passes it to Ben who smiles and names the price. Oscar looks into his wallet and you see him count into his hand and pass the correct money to Ben.
5. ”Give me your wrist and lean back” Ben says as he grabs and extends Oscars wrist, pulling up the sleeve.
6. Oscar leans back and stares at the ceiling, he begins to breath heavily and you hear his heartbeat raise in volume and frequency. Then the sound of the tattoo gun kicks in along with some grunts from Oscar as he feels the pain.
7. ”All done” Ben droned as he turned. Oscar sat upright then looked to his left wrist where he sees a tacky stick figure of a girl with exaggerated boobs, he gasps then looks at his other wrist which has the credits on. END
