My First draft of ‘Vulnerable’
The final draft of ‘Vulnerable’
I did this first draft of the script in about two days. I watched a lot of short films also some clips from some of my favourite tv shows and films in between writing which are shown on a seperate blog post. While writing scripts I often find listening to some songs can really get you in the mood to write. I found that the majority of songs I was listening to were songs that really related to how I wanted Sophie to be feeling. Here are some songs that heavily influenced Sophies character when she is feeling lost and vulnerable:
- Lose you to love me – Selena Gomez
- Touch – Sleeping at last
- Everything I wanted – Billie Eillish
- Hold me while you wait – Lewis Capaldi
- Soft Dark Nothing – Lily Kershaw
These songs (especially Lose you to love me) really created a sense of constantly feeling ‘vulnerable’ inside me just by listening to them so it was a really good way for me to channel that into Sophies character.
The main songs I listened to while writing the ending scene ‘moving on’ were:
- From the morning – Nick Drake
- Saturday Sun – Nick Drake
- Place to be – Nick Drake
With these songs I just found that the use of the uplifting guitar music really created the sense of what Sophie was feeling. Basically she is just ‘Ready for the next chapter’ at the end.
