Script read through workshop approach

Due to our film containing large parts of pure cinema and others with only loose dialogue which we hoped to improvise, doing a readthrough is a hard task. The parts of pure cinema were also very static and would be difficult to practice in a workshop. We planned to talk to the actors about the characters they may play, and use them to help characterize them further and assist the writing of more scripted dialogue for the moor argument based off our current script, which to be effective must be well written and performed realistically. This way we will have scripted dialogue for the shoot to work off if the actors cannot improvise. We also have sections of our film where a diegetic camera is used and potentially diegetic sound through the camera’s microphone as if he were carrying it, meaning the actor playing Josh would either have to move with the cameraman or be the cameraman. We hope to test which works best in the workshop, and decide which approach works best.
