How it's going

I have now completed the in-school scenes of the film and am now planning the out of school scenes which I will do at the weekend. There will be Interior and Exterior scenes, where she is stealing and arguing. The scenes in school are of the main character and there is one scene of her and her boyfriend. I've used a long shot that the character walks closer to and out of the shot and also a two shot of the couple kissing.
There is one other person in the film (Beccy's sister) and there will be a conversation between them when they're shouting at eachother.
The rest of the scenes are with just Beccy - the beginning where she talks about what happened to her and then the shots of her stealing.

What it's about.

This film as a split of a drama and rom-com, there are moments of homour but also the serious side of stealing and teenage behaviour.
My film is about a girl, her brother dies in a car crash when she was 14 and this made her family fall apart. Her mother ran away to a differnt country and her father lost his job and was now trying to re-build his life. Beccy then took on the task on taking care of her family. She was the model daughter, student and friend. Turns out, things got too much for 'the good girl' and she started stealing. It didn't matter what she would steal, it was just the feeling of stealing. It was a release. It all ended going too far and she admitted to what she was doing, she had to tell everyone, her dad, teacher and the bot she really liked.

I have now completed my script and am ready to record the film. I have asked Beccy Newman and James Bradford for the main parts and still need to find one more person to be the main characters sister. I am planning to start filming on sunday and then two days during the week.
