Draft of Script
Person 1 enters the room, hand firmly on the door handle. Person 1 seems to be holding a camera - suggesting they are a Media student. They walk over to one of the many computers, pulling a chair out and sitting down with a sigh of relief. They then begin to talk with Person 2 who is sat on a computer directly opposite from them.
Person 1: Hey [Person 2], how's the editing going?
Person 2: It's going pretty well, just can't get the continuity right on some of these shots
Person 1: That's a shame, are you gonna have to re-shoot them?
Person 2: Probably
*Sigh and rubs eyes*
How's your video going?
Person 1: Me?
Person 2: Well yeah
Person 1: Oh well... I'm done!
Person 2: Really? That was quick
Person 1: Yeah well I just finished the action match shot for my video like
*Looks at watch*
Around [30?] seconds ago
Person 2: Can I see it?
Person 1: Sure
Person 2: Where's your flash drive?
Person 1: Here you go
*Hands over a toy car with a flashlight taped to it*
Person 2: Thanks man
Key Notes
I have not selected actors yet however I will substitute Person 1 and Person 2 for the real names of both actors as it will make rehearsals easier, since they can just keep to their real names. Additionally, this scene is meant to feel really natural and casual, due to this I will aim to pick two actors who know eachother relatively well as it will again make things easier.
The information placed in '[ ]' is subject to change in order to better fit the script i.e. the time Person 1 says must be as close to how long it will seem to have been in the final video.
Another note worth making is that the script is subject to change in order to cater towards the actors' speech, in order to generate a more realistic performance.
When you do your storyboard, you should note explicitly where your continuity features are going to appear. You should also make sure you do some scouting to find the best time to shoot (probably after school, since otherwise you will have to deal with noise outside the room, although bear in mind that it now gets dark quite early).
