The Architect is Dead - Production blog #2 - Script and Storyboards

With less than one week to go until we start shooting, we begin to get to the squeaky bumstage.

Where anything that can go wrong usually will.

As with all student/low budget films we are heavily relying on good faith and favours, so fingers crossed we don't overstay our welcome. Our apologies in advance if we do, we will give you a big cuddle to make up for it.

Kostas' scripts are notorious for redrafts and I am a little surprised that we are only up to draft 10 so far. Mind you the script on the shoot is more of a suggestion than a guideline, so expect some Sam Peckinpah totalitarian directing. This is of course a sincere compliment to Kostas.

Intro

Black and White

A cradle of a baby in a dark room

From a CCTV camera, we see a cradle of a baby in a dark room. The cradle is covered with a white sheet. There is blood on the sheet. We cannot see the baby but we listen to its cry.

Scene 4
Black and White
Worksite/ Night

The Architect does not look at the Security Man any more. He just moves his hand towards the guitar and the mutilated hand. He looks as if he has seen something more there. Close-up: A compass is stuck between the strings and the mutilated hand.
