Group B - Studio Shoot Script
PULL AND PUSH BEFORE COHESION (working Title)
There will be two actors in this piece, one is called Yin and the other Yang.
The set will consist fully of thick white curtains around the set, as well as flowing white materials spaced out within the set. The actors will be dressed in simple black clothing, however they will be wearing lace blindfolds. Each of a certain colour(currently thinking yin - orange Yang- blue, to be reprsied).
We want the actors to use movement as a way of visual and emotional representation of their characters of yin and yang, their movement will also show their status and aspect of the two life forces they are portraying at different stages on the film.
- INT. SET. 30 SECONDS
The set will start by being empty with the curtains gently moving in the breeze, Yin and Yang will not be present for this scene. There will first be an establishing long shot of the whole area, followed up by multiple close up shots of the curtains at different angles. To accompany this we will shoot a few extra pick up shots with the camera moving through the set, still without the actors.
2. INT. SET. 30 SECONDS (Please refer to ‘Slow/Fast’ Storyboard)
We first see Yin and Yang facing each other in an establishing shot, however they will not be able to see each other due to the curtains blocking their way and view of each other. Yin will be stage left, standing behind the window, and Yang will start far stage right.
They will begin to move in the space first taking on the statuses as Yin - fast, Yang - slow. Yin will also be coming through the window into the space during this time. They will change statuses to Yin - Asleep, Yang - awake, again moving around the space portraying this. The final part will have Yin taking on the role of manic and Yang calm. During this they will be moving past and around each other, slightly interacting with one another but not yet fully.
3. INT. SET. 1 MINUTE (Please Refer to ‘Hide/Seek’ Storyboard)
This section will be embodying the idea of hide and seek, this will essentially be the middle section of the film. Yin will portray hide, and Yang will be seek. Just as before they will be moving around the space through and around the curtains. Yin will start outside of the space and enter through the window, while Yang will appear within the space after. We will shoot Yin’s choreography first and then Yang’s along with a few pick up shots of them with transitive verbs.
4. INT. SET. 30 SECONDS (Please refer to ‘Pull/Push’ Storyboard)
Here Yin and Yang will be interacting with each other fully for the first time. They will be joining hands and moving together, in an almost intimate way (but portraying it as a platonic friends way). They will be pushing away from each other as well as pulling themselves back to each other. Almost as if they try to get away from each other but there is such a strong connection they can’t. This is to show the balance that is created between them when they come together.
5. INT. SET. 30 SECONDS (Please refer to ‘Pull/Push Together’ Storyboard)
This is the final scene where Yin and Yang will take off each others blindfolds, and drop it/throw it to their side of the stage. This symbolises them recognising each other, and having/taking apart of one another with them (just like the yin and yang symbol). After this they will embrace, which they will hold for the last moments of the scene, it will show them connecting to each other, it will finish with them in this hug.
