Scene Ideas | Drama Development

For my Drama video, I did some research on the show and started to watch the first few seasons in order to get an idea of what scenes I could re create. At first I wanted a scene that didn't have much dialogue in it, but the series is quite dialogue heavy.

The first scene that I thought about shooting is in Season 1, Episode 1. It's not a very long scene but it's quite dialogue heavy. In this scene Aria and Emily are talking outside Aria's house after not seeing each other for a long time.

 
The second scene that I thought about shooting is in Season 1, Episode 2. This scene is only short and has no dialogue, so I thought it would give me space to experiment with the directing of the scene. In this scene Spencer is going on a run and she sees Jenna who is says something suspicious on the phone.

The third scene that I thought about shooting is in Season 2, Episode 12. This scene is fairly long, but it fits the time duration given. This scene gives me a lot of different opportunities in which I can experiment with the sound design and the camera shots. In this scene all four girls are together when they get a 'present' from their harasser "A" who has given them instructions to follow otherwise there will be consequences.

The fourth scene that I thought about shooting is in Season 2, Episode 12. This scene follows on from the previous scene I have just talked about, but it's a little further on in the episode. In this scene Emily finally gets her 'present' from "A", in her car, who has also given her instructions to follow.

Out of all of the scenes I have looked into, I most likely going to be shooting my third idea or my fourth as they give me a lot of experimental space for the camera shots, lighting and sound design. Although the third scene is dialogue heavy, I feel confident that I will be able to pull it off, and I might add the fourth scene on the end to add to the story.
