After looking at our rushes we discovered we had a problem with the sound in terms of dialogue. We knew that there would be background noise of the cars, however planned for this to add to the authenticity of our piece. We hardly hear what they are saying at all.
To overcome this we are taking inspiration from the short film 'Eight' Directed by 'Stephen Daldry'. Where they use a voice-over of the main character, who, similarly to ours is a young boy, his thoughts from his point of view. We plan to record the voice of my brother (Sam Garman), who also starred in our film.
The following is what I have written so far, and still needs to be continued, however I am struggling to finish it before more editing has been done, so that I can get it to flow better with the narrative. Also I am struggling to display the conversation between the boy and the Grandad, as it will be the boys interpretation of it, not necessarily what happened word for word. I am also worried that what I have written is a bit rubbish and cheesy, but it can always be changed later!
'We used to go to the beach all the time.
Me, mum, dad.
Do they even remember?
We used to spend every Saturday on the beach, eating chips.
And when it was cold I'd complain and wanna go home.
Well.... I'd never complain now.
If we were all here. Together.
Haven't seen dad in ages now.
Mum says I'm the 'man of the house.'
That means I'M in charge
So I can do what I want.
And if I wanna go to the beach for the rest of my life. I will!
Mum can take care of that little brat herself.
All it ever does is scream, eat and shit!
Not my REAL sister anyway. '
Goodbye to the Normals
