Script for Walking the Dog.

Man is walking through a field with his small dog trotting along beside him, the dog suddenly darts off.

Man: WALTER, WALTER COME BACK HERE NOW!

Walter trots back looking very pleased with himself, little known to his owner he has something in his mouth

Man: Don’t you run off like that you bad bad dog! I’ll put you on the lead if you pull another stunt like that you bad dog! Whats that you’ve got there……. Leans toward Walter to take what he has retrieved.

Walter Runs off again

Man chases Walter excited, and intrigued into what he has in his mouth.

Editing is fast paced and scenes are short so that the audience realise how long he has been chasing his dog for

Man: I’ve caught you! What have you got? Pulls the lottery ticket out of the dogs mouth. Oh my god, these numbers look familiar….   


Pulls phone out of his pocket and calls home…

Screen is cut in half so you can see Man standing in the field and Woman in the kitchen 

Wife: Hello dear, has he run off again? You haven’t lost him have you? I told you to keep him on the lead….

Man: no, no, no I have got him, he did run off but he’s come back with a lottery ticket, the numbers look familiar from last night, check them now we could be millionaires!!!

Wife: Oh my, I’m logging on… right the numbers are 4

Man: oh for gods sake.. WHERES MY DOG?

Runs off after dog.

Stop Motion

Stop Motion is a very advanced Animation technique that makes an object e.g. a Teddy bear, appear to move on its own.
We have done various Stop Motion work shops to explore the option, but I have decided against using stop motion to create my Short Film, as I do not think it is effective in the "Black Comedy" Genre that I have chosen to work within.

Stop Motion can be very effective and entertaining for example in the Television programme "Smart" they use Stop Motion plastecine people to show how they do things, and the Children's television programme "Pingu" none of these characters speak, as it is hard to incorporate speech into a stop motion clip or film. Stop Motion is very time consuming The feature film "Wallace and Gromit, Curse of the Were-Rabbit" was filmed using Stop Motion with Plastecine models, they only managed to film 1 second of the film per day leading to it taking 5 years to make.

Stop Motion is really challenging and time consuming to use Stop Motion and I do not think I could add the level of detail that I intentend to use in my work if I chose to use it, and I feel it would comprimise the quality of my film and the enjoyment for my audience.
