Script Development Draft 1

Here's my first draft of my script. My script contains some annotations which I though of whole writing the script. I found that interesting Idea's can be developed while reading your work which I previously didn't think of. I've tried to keep to the type of font a script would use in order to make at as authentic as possible.

NARRATOR

           Being an NRI audience myself, I’m intrigued

           To see how Bollywood films actually relate

           to Non Resident Indians. The Hindi Film Industry

           otherwise famously known as ‘Bollywood’ famously

           is a multibillion industry making around 200-300

           films a year. Recently being an NRI myself I have

           noticed a change in the trend of audiences shift.

           More Bollywood films are now aimed at NRI’s as the

           films central characters are usually NRI themselves.

           Thus changing the whole dynamic of Bollywood films.

CHARACTER 1

           I love Bollywood films even though I live outside of

           India, I watch them regularly.

CHARACTER 2

           I’m beginning to relate myself to the characters

           In Bollywood films, as most the films are now set

           in the west.

CHARACTER 3

           Bollywood has been a long standing industry and

           Has evolved with time be it for family audiences

           or independent cinema goers everyone has a ‘thing’

           they can relate to especially NRI’s in the recent

           years as most films are being set outside India in

           the Western World.

CHARACTER 4

           NRI audiences are a huge market for Bollywood films.

           Due to this most films are now being made keeping NRI

           Audiences in mind such as outdoor sets and urban stories

           Have recently become the new trend.

NARRATOR

           Today Britain itself is a multicultural society.

           Therefore Bollywood audiences are not just made

           up NRI’s but secondary audiences that are not

           even targeted.

CHARACTER 5

I watch Bollywood films because of the rich culture.

I find it interesting to see the colours the music

something that is unique to only Bollywood films

and not any other industry.

Script Feedback

I sat down with the production team who had a look at my script and gave me feedback on how to change things around. They said to make me script specific to what type of audience I'm studying e.g. teenagers, adults etc. The opening part to my script should be split into half and more historical knowledge should be shown in it. Such as I introduce what Bollywood films are and than I introduce some audiences discussing Bollywood films and cut back to the narrator talking about the history of Bollywood films. This therefore makes my documentary more realistic and gives it an professional feel. This will even look more creative.
