You must write a script
(properly formatted) between
6 and
12 pages (courier 12 point font).
This month's theme and genre:
Genre:
Any Genre Theme:
Low budget. You can have up to four actors (any age, any sex), no more than four. Everything takes place at one location. Please submit your script
here .
The scripts must be received by
Friday, September 16th at 11:59 pm e.d.t. .
Please
do not put your real name on your script , however, please use your real name and real e-mail address on the submission form. (After the exercise closes you can either have your script removed or resubmit the script with your name on it).
Please put "(c) Copyright 2011" on your script.
Some Notes:
1. This is only open to and advertised to members of the discussion board. Turnout will be light. It is ok, however, to let MoviePoet.com folks know about it, provided Chris doesn't have a problem with it. (Those MP folks who would participate are probably already registered on SS anyway.)
2. I have intentionally given short notice of the OWC. This is in keeping with the 'real world' theme that you have to produce something
good in a short amount of time with short notice.
3. Script must be between six and 12 pages. No less than six pages and no more than 12 pages.
4. You can use up to four actors of any sex or age. You don't have to use all the actors.
5. The script must take place in one location.
6. This is a challenge. There are no prizes or awards of any kind.
7. The spirit of this particular challenge is that any reasonable competent group of people could film the script without having to get major funding.
8. Please, one entry per person. If you can slip a second one by me without me catching you, then good on you.

May I just re-submit "12 Seconds"? It fits the criteria 100%. =)

For a serious question, though, can we have dialogue from a fifth person we can't see or is it four in any form? I'm kind of interested in having a voiceover from a fifth person.

I see that as fitting the spirit of the challenge. One of the four actors could do the voice over in an accent different from the character he/she is playing, or the director or camera operator could do it.
I think it is ok.

Since we're asking questions on the number of actors: I am assuming that this means no extras. For example, if the story takes place in a bar or restaurant, there can be no one sitting at tables or at the bar.

Well, if I can find a way to avoid it, I will, but thank you for an answer, Don. And, I understand, Breanne but I think there's a difference between what you see and what's actually there. Just my theory, though.

Quoted from Mr. Blonde …can we have dialogue from a fifth person we can't see or is it four in any form? Quoted from SimplyScripts You can have up to four actors (any age, any sex), no more than four.
Lovely, fresh out of the can and the controversy is already starting.

I would say, no extras. However, if say, you were filming in a park and there were people in the background unrelated to the shoot, that would be ok. It would be a difficult shoot, tho since you have no control over them.

Sorry. Thought I was helping you.
By your logic, though, the actors could play multiple roles and the number of characters is limitless.
