The Script

After coming up with the idea for the video and fleshing it out fully, the first thing we did was start writing the script. We use Celtx, an awesome (and free) scriptwriting program that connects to the cloud.

We started hammering out the script, coming up with the Ashley's dialogue. We wanted her to pretty much be the stereotypical, prissy and dense popular girl / cheerleader. It's obvious right form the start about how she feels about nerds like Calvin.

We initially wrote out a sort of dialogue outline, writing down what each character said and the actions that accompanied it, but it was pretty bland. Once we had that done and had a good idea of what was going on in the script, we went back and started putting in the actual character of of the dialogue, fleshing it out so that Ashley and Calvin's personalities shown through.


One thing we tried to keep in mind is that we want the video to have some pretty humorous moments. We worked in a few funny momements that play off of Calvin's and Ashley's personalities, as well as the fact that it is porn. We're pretty happy with what we ended up with.

At the moment, the script is more or less finished. We keep going back and altering things now and then, but we've got enough done to start moving ahead with the video. Just remember, establish the story first as well as the major actions and then get into the script.
