Scripting

When thinking about scripting, I decided from the off I didn't want a lot of dialogue.

When I considered who I'd give lines to, I immediately thought of Maia. Her character is the smallest and visually the must vulnerable and in my view, lines mean power. By giving her the most lines I want to show who is in charge and who has the best understanding of what is going on. I want her character to have a kind of 'puppet master' feel, as most mystery character do in films of this genre.

 I want to keep the plot quite vague throughout seeing as this is only the first 2 minutes of  the film and I don't want to give too much away - so by keeping the dialogue slightly mysterious I aim to add in diegetic sound without revealing anything vital.

I have also decided I am not adding a voice over. I feel it would be a bad idea to try and add both diegetic and non-diegetic dialogue. Also, the voices would have to be very different and I don't know who I would have speaking that isn't in the shots - I think this would complicate my use of software I am not confident with yet, and so I feel it is the right decision to drop the idea.
