Shooting Photographs.






Just a few photographs of our shoot, so people can have a tiny sneak preview of what to expect!





When the smoke has cleared.....

Congratulations everyone, the film is shot!

:D

Big thanks to Jaimie, Scott and Kara for their patience, obedience and help on what turned out to be a frustrating and very long film shoot! Hopefully we have all that we need for 5 minutes footage now.

Now its down to the editing, and recording sound. The location sound is complete, but other sound still needs to be done, such as footsteps, sperm movements, egg movements, soundtrack. Any help with this will be appreciated.

The Script

Hi all!

Apologies on the time it has taken to get this posted up on here. This is the initial draft of the finished script. Additions, corrections, ideas much appreciated please.


Script

Jonathon Micallef & Jim May


Ext. Streets. Day.
(Camera pulling back revealing the streets with extras in shot, until it stops) our sperm is stood smiling in with comic mannerisms, his sperm outfit. Center of shot. Looks to his right and walks out of shot.
Camera tracks following our sperm walking down a road side, cheerful walk.

Int. Esculator. Day
Still shot from side of sperm stood on the moving escalator. Sperm looks about confused scratching himself.

Ext. Infront of a modern bar. Day
We see him sat in a bar sipping on a colourful cocktail. Looking out at everyone on the street, he doesn’t sit still. Camera static.

Ext. Park. Day
He is sat at a park, on a swing, going down a slide and playing with a football. Camera static.

Int/Ext. Train Station. Day.
He is sat next to some young people waiting for a train. Nothing in the cameras view signifies anything to do with the train station.
Cut to him sat reading a map with sunglasses on in the same shot.

Fade

Ext. Streets. (similar to before). Day.
Same tracking shot as previously
Walking down the street eating a cream cake/drinking, appearing less comic to our audience. Suddenly stops dead, drops the cream cake/drink all down himself on his front.



Close up of the sperms face
He is stood open mouthed, gawping at something slightly further down the street. His attention doesn’t shift at all. Camera static. Background visible, but not clear.

Long Shot
A distance shot of the egg looking left and right, and slowly crossing the road on a zebra crossing. Another shot of the sperms face shows us his facial expression of lust change. Camera Static.

Ext. Day (Streets, similar to before)
The egg wanders off and slowly becomes out of shot. We see the egg from the sperms point of view. He slowly begins to move towards her following her, gradually picking up speed as he pursues. He catches sight of himself in a window. Camera moving slowly forward.

Mid shot of sperm
Looking down at his suit, covered in drink/cake. He quickly brushes it off the best he can, (Camera moves behind the sperm) and then looks around for the egg, but she has gone. He stamps on the ground in frustration, and slowly begins mooching away. He reaches the end of the street, and all of a sudden the egg whizzes past on a bicycle. Camera static and rotating pan.

Long shot across street
Sperm watches egg roll past him, and begin to cycle off. Camera static.

Midshot (as before)
Sperm turns around, knocks someone off their bike, and pursues the egg. Camera Static.

Tracking shot
Sperm is cycling quickly through the streets following the egg who is infront of him. Camera Tracking.

Tracking shot
The camera pans around, following the egg this time, starting behind her, and slowly moving to be in front of her, moving forward, with the sperm in the near distance in the background.

Mid/Long Shot
Egg cycles into a park. A short time after, the sperm follows, but as the camera pans around, the egg is no where to be seen. The sperm stops cycling, and stops to look around. The person he stole the bike from earlier, catches up to him and slaps him around the face, takes his bike back and cycles off. Shot cross fades. Camera static.

Long shot
Sperm walking through the park, kicking an empty can/bottle, looking thoroughly sad. See him sat on a bench, writing/carving “Sperm4Egg” onto the wood. Camera static.

Tracking shot
The sperm wanders through the park, with his head down. Suddenly, he hears laughter, and looks up. Sees the egg with another sperm, who is smoking, and blowing smoke rings into the air. He is clearly a “Bad-boy” figure, and the egg is enjoying his antics. Camera moving and panning.

Trombone Shot?
Shows our sperm being shocked by the situation, realising that everything has gone wrong. Wipes his eyes and slowly begins to shuffle off out of shot. Camera static.

Time lapse (Gradually slowing in speed)
Our sperm is sat on a bench as things move, slowly varying his position, his stance, the direction he is looking etc. Finishes by slowing down, and the sperm gets up and walks away. Camera static.

Tracking shot.
We see our sperm back on the streets again, although this is a complete parallel to what his mannerisms were like before, he is downhearted, moving slower, shuffling, and generally looking very down in the mouth. Things no longer seem bright; he is no longer in such a nice area.

Midshot/Longshot
Walks past the end of a roadway with his head down. We see the egg and the bad sperm down the alleyway.


Close ups/Midshots
The bad sperm is all over the egg, trying to kiss her and touch her bum. The egg is trying to resist him, and pushing him away, but the bad sperm is very persistent. The egg screams and slaps the bad sperm. She begins to run away.

Close up
The good sperm hearing the scream quickly turns around to see the egg running out of the alleyway straight towards him, crashing into him, knocking him to the floor. The bad sperm follows chasing after her cursing her, shouting in an inaudible gruff manner, what are obviously insults. The egg cowers behind the good sperm, as the bad sperm approaches.

180 degree conversation.
Bad sperm begins poking the good sperm, who is blatantly scared of him, and is just wriggling around in the same place looking awkward as the egg cowers behind him

Close up.
The bad sperm looking into the camera as though it is the good sperms face, with a half smoked fag in his mouth, gruffly arguing in a non-comprehensible language. He shoves the good sperm backwards.

Midshot/Close-Up.
The Bad sperm grabs the egg from behind the good sperm.

Close-up
The good sperms face full of hatred and anger.

Return to Previous mid/close up angle
The good sperm smashes the bad sperm in the face, the bad sperm falls to the ground. The good sperm looks down at the bad sperm, and the egg grabs him spins him round and kisses him. They both walk off hand in hand, tracking shot in front of them moving backwards, and slowing cross-fading back to the bench in the park where the pen/inscription now reads “Sperm<3Egg 4eva” Camera static.
Fade to black.
