I have been debating a lot over the past few weeks as to whether I will be creating my own film or writing a screenplay, and I have weighed up the pros and cons of each option.
Creating an actual film is something that I always love to do because it gives you a finished product and a sense of achievement once it's finished. There is also so much more creativity that a screenplay can't convey in a film, for instance, the actor's own take on the script and their individual performance...
However, writing a screenplay also has it's benefits. For instance, more so than with making a film, a screenplay gives you complete creative control of the story in terms of characters, setting and props, whereas often with making a film you are limited to the resources that you are already able to get your hands on.
Upon weighing up both the positives and negatives of each option, I have concluded to write a screenplay. I think this will give me more creative freedom and space to write my idea exactly the way I would like it to be, without having to worry about the constrictions of the locations, actors and crew that I have available to me. With this I will also be creating a storyboard where I will be taking photos of the camera angles that I would like to use if I were to actually make this film.
