I'm Done!

Ok we'r done with all the acts now and it's time to start filming. The scripts ended up looking really nice and I think they flow together nicely. I'm happy that I don't have to write anymore scripts because it wasn't the easiest thing to do. Every script took about an hour just to write then I had to go back through it again. Although, it is nice to be done with the scripts. It was really fun doing this with the people at VM. It looks like all the actors are memorizing their lines right on schedule. The project is going to be really nice and I think we did a really good job on it.

Act 1 Scene 5 part 1 script

(Helpers come in and start setting up the room)

First Helper-Everyone we have to get ready! Come on everything has to be perfect!

Second Helper-Well you don’t have to be so mean about it.

First Helper-Get everything out of the way, and save me a piece of the marzipan.

Second Helper-Alright we’re ready.

First Helper-You guy’s they want us in the other room.

Third Helper-We can’t be in two places at once you know. Make it fast though.

(Everyone exits)

(Enter Capulet, Lady Capulet, Juliet, Tybalt, Nurse, and the guests)

Capulet- Hello everyone! All your costumes look amazing! Everyone that isn’t dancing get out of the way and let’s get the music going and it’s time to start dancing!

(Music starts everyone starts dancing)

Capulet- Oh sit down cousin we are too old to be dancing. How long has it been since we have been dancing at a masquerade dance?

Capulet Cousin- Well, I guess it’s been about 30 years now.

Capulet-Oh, no it hasn’t. At most it’s been 20 or 25 years since then.

Capulet Cousin-It has been a lot longer than that. His oldest son is 30.

Capulet-You liar! (Lightheartedly) It has only been two years since he was a minor.

(Switch to Romeo)

Romeo- (to a serving man) who of the girls here would want to dance with me?

Serving Man-I’m sorry but I don’t know.

Romeo-Have you seen a girl that is so beautiful that she makes all the others look like nothing? Do you know her? I want to dance with her.

(Switch to Tybalt)

Tybalt-He, over there, is a Montegue. I can tell by the way he’s acting. Why would he dare come here? He can’t be here. I’ll go make sure he leaves.

Capulet-Hey! Where are you going?

Tybalt-He is a Montague, he isn’t supposed to be here!

Capulet- Is that Romeo? Oh yes, it is. Leave him alone, he isn’t doing anything wrong. As long as he isn’t trying to mess up our dance leave him alone he’s just trying to have a good time.

Tybalt-He would get in here somehow, wouldn’t he?

Capulet-Well you can deal with him for a night. Get rid of your attitude and have fun. Who cares if he’s here?

Tybalt-But he shouldn’t be here.

Capulet-You’re a rude boy. Just leave Romeo alone for a night. It won’t kill you to.

Tybalt-Fine I’ll try to ignore him, but if he does anything to mess this up I won’t keep my patience.

(Tybalt exit)

Almost Done!

Now Autumn and I have almost all of act 1 done. Only scene 5 left to go! That's due Friday so by the end of this week we'll be done! I think that the lines are really good and the play should run really well. I hope we can get this done really soon so that the actors have all their lines. The lines shouldn't be hard to memorize because we updated them so it's more of common sense conversation lines. I hope the play comes out really well and that we get our job done soon!

Act 1 Scene 4

(Enter Rome, Mercutio, Benvolio, with a few other maskers; torchbearers)

(They have their costumes on for the dance)

Romeo- Are we getting in with our normal excuse?

Benvolio- No, that speech doesn’t work anymore. We’ll go in and dance for a little bit and then we’ll leave.

Romeo- Give me one of the lights. I don’t want to dace I’m still too sad. I’ll wait out here until you guys are done.

Mercutio- No, Romeo, you’re coming in and dancing with us.

Romeo- No I can’t. You’re happy and I am sad and lonely.

Mercutio- Romeo, you are a lover so borrow Cupid’s wings and fly with them!

Romeo- My heart is too heavy to be flying so high like Cupid. Love is too much for me to handle.

Mercutio- If love is too hard for you don’t stand there and take it, get back at love by being rough back at it.

Benvolio- Come on let’s go in and dance!

Romeo- No I’m not going. Let me stay on the outskirts and watch. I’ve never really liked dancing and I’m tired.

Mercutio- Come on, we’ll help you through this and dancing will help you a lot.

Romeo-No, it won’t. And I know we aren’t trying to get in any trouble going to the dance, but it doesn’t seem like that good of an idea.

Mercutio- Well, why not?

Romeo- I had a dream last night… that this dance won’t go well.

Mercutio- Yeah, so did I.

Romeo- Well, what was your dream about?

Mercutio- I dreamt that dreamers often lie.

Romeo-When we are asleep, we don’t lie.

Mercutio- Romeo, we all dream things. That doesn’t mean that they will come true. They are like children’s stories in some ways that they either give you a false emotion of either happiness or sadness. That story can be twisted into whatever mood you want it to have. Your dream meant nothing to you. Dreams aren’t real life and you can’t take them seriously.

Romeo-Hold on Mercutio! You aren’t talking about anything right now.

Mercutio-You’re right. I’m not talking about anything.

Benvolio-Come on you guy’s, if we don’t go now we’ll be too late for the dance.

Romeo-Fine I don’t want to go, but I will. Let’s go!

Benvolio- Alright!

(Everyone exits)

Act 1 Scene 2

Act 1 Scene 2

(At Mr. Capulet’s house)

Paris- Mr. Capulet, I would like to marry Juliet and I was wondering if you would let me.

Mr. Capulet- It is fine with me if you love her, but she isn’t even 18 yet and you are 19. I want you to marry her just wait a couple years so she is older.

Paris- But she is the only girl I love and I want to marry her!

Mr. Capulet- No, just wait and in the meantime get on her good side.

(A servant enters)

Mr. Capulet- (to the servant) here are some tickets I want you to sell to students at Capulet High for the dance.

Servant- Ok no problem.

(Servant and Paris exit)

(Now we are following the servant as he walks down the street)

Servant- (to himself) I hate this. Why does he want me to sell these, it’s stupid. Now I have to walk around and sell these all day.

(Romeo and Benvolio enter and the servant overhears them talking)

Benvlio- Romeo, just forget about Roseline! We need to find a way for you to find you a new girl!

Romeo- I can’t! I love her too much and every time I stop thinking about her I start again!

(Servant walks over)

Servant- Hey guys! Do you want some free tickets to a school dance?

Benvolio- Yeah, sure!

Servant- You do go to Capulet High don’t you?

Benvolio- Ummm, yeah sure we do.

Servant- Ok, here are the tickets.

Benvolio- Thanks!

(Servant exits)

Romeo- We don’t go to Capulet High!

Benvolio- So what? We need to find you a new girl and the dance will be perfect for that!

Romeo- But Roseline will be there and I’ll want to be with her!

Benvolio- So? We’ll make sure you don’t see her and you’ll be fine.

Romeo- Fine I’ll go, but only for to see Roseline because I still love her and think she is the most best looking girl ever.

(Exit both of them)

Halfway there

Alright so far we have scene 1 of the five in. Yay! Now I've got scene 2 done I just have to get it looked at and probly fix a few things. That means I'm already half done! I only have 1 more scene to do and I can probly get it done very soon. I still have a while before either of them are due, but they're both due at the same time so thats the only problem. I'll get it done though so don't worry! Until next time... I'll be writing your play.

My first Blog

Ok, so first blog... I'm a writer for the play and I hope I am writing scene one. It is my favorite scene from the movie we watched, but I couldn't really understand the written out play in the book. I probly would like the book scene too, though. I hope that I can write a really good scene for the actors to use as scripts. I also want to get the script done quickly so that the actors can read them and memorize the lines. I hope that I can get my part done early for the actors. I hope this project goes well and it ends up as a really good movie.
