lovely little french film
March 15, 2018
Hello! So I've been delayed on posting my storyboard, mostly since I haven't had full access to a scanner - I did mine hand-drawn. However, I finally figured out a name for my production!
Indefinite or Indéfini (in French)
I've also written a script which I'll post below. Keep in mind that this is the narrated portion of the film, and that it will be shown in english as subtitles and spoken in French. For now I'm posting the script in english, but I'll update this post in a week or so with the translated version.
Script:
*The numbers coordinate with the numbers in the corner of each storyboard shot
1-“This is Leonardo. Leo for short.”
“This is Leo’s watch.”
2- “Leo was given the watch when he was about 10 years old.
His grandfather told him to use it wisely, as it had been more detrimental than
beneficial in his life. His grandfather loved coffee, which is what always
reminds Leo of him besides the watch.”
3- “Everyday he comes into the coffee shop. But today is no
ordinary day.”
4- “He’s never seen her here before.”
“He’s also never seen anyone like her before”
5- “She seemed so gentle: pink soft lips; slim, long
fingers; deep, mysterious eyes”
6- “He decides to attempt a conversation, trying his best to
keep his composure.”
“But as soon as he opens his mouth, nothing seems to come
out, he’ stuck.”
7- “Then he has another idea.”
8- when looking at watch, it’ll say “go back one hour” in
French on the face
9- “He makes the remark about them sharing the same drink,
but the comment doesn’t seem too hopeful. He then asks what she’s reading,
which happens to be a book by an author he’s never heard about.”
10- “This time, he remembers that he read this book back in
high school, and claims he loves the author. He quotes from the book, thanks to
his quick online source in the bathroom. Things seem to finally spark.”
11- “He continues to try with her. Again, again, and again.”
12- “He decides this is his one last opportunity, since he’s
used every possible tactic available to him. However, he seems to make a lot of
progress, and their conversation actually begins to blossom”
13- “He thinks about grabbing her hand, about feeling her
soft touch against his skin.”
14- “They talk about ___, ____, and _____”
15- “He comes to the conclusion to be honest with her. He
tells her how beautiful she is and how he’s been trying to grasp her intention
all day. It sounds kinda funny considering the situation, but he hopes she gets
the memo”
16- “Leo, defeated, has just been introduced to her
boyfriend.”
*updated: Here is the French version! I don't trust google translate so I sent it to my authentic French family friends and they worked on it together :)
1- "Voici Leonardo. Leo en raccourci."
"C’est la montre de Leo."
2- "Cette montre a été donnée à Leo quand il avait environ dix ans. Son grand-père lui avait dit de l’utiliser avec sagesse, comme elle avait causé plus de tort que de bien dans sa vie. Son grand-père adorait aussi le café, ce qui, comme la montre, lui rappelait aussi toujours son ancêtre."
3- "Tous les jours, il vient au café, mais aujourd’hui n’était pas un jour ordinaire"
4- "Il ne l’avait jamais vue ici."
"Il n’avait jamais vu quelqu’un comme elle avant."
5- "Elle paraissait si douce, des lèvres roses et lisses, mince, des doigts longs ; des yeux profonds et mystérieux."
6- "Il
tente d’initier une conversation, tout en essayant de conserver son calme."
"Mais, dès qu’il ouvre la bouche, rien ne sort de ses lèvres. Il est coincé."7- "Puis, il a une autre idée."
8- "En regardant la montre, elle va te dire « recule d’une heure »" en français sur le visage
9- "Il fait une remarque à propos de leur même choix de boisson mais le commentaire n’a pas l’impact espéré. Ensuite, il lui demande ce qu’elle lit et il se trouve que c’est un auteur dont il n’a jamais entendu parlé."
10- "Cette fois-ci, il se souvient qu’il a lu ce livre au lycée et il dit qu’il adore l’auteur. Il cite une phrase du livre grâce à son escapade dans les toilettes pendant laquelle il a regardé sur internet. Finalement, les choses commencent à prendre une bonne tournure"
11- "Cette fois-ci, il se souvient qu’il a lu ce livre au lycée et il dit qu’il adore l’auteur."
12- "Il décide que c'est sa dernière chance, puisqu'il a utilisé toutes les tactiques possibles. Cependant, il semble qu’il y ait du progrès car leur conversation commence à s’animer."
13- "Il considère prendre sa main, sentir sa peau douce contre la sienne."
14- "Ils parlent de ______, ________, et ________."
15- "Il décide d’être honnête avec elle. Il lui dit ô combien elle est jolie et comment il a essayé d’attirer son attention toute la journée. Cela semble presque amusant en considérant la situation mais il espère qu’elle comprenne son message."
16- Leo, déchu, vient juste d’être présenté à son petit ami…
