SCRIPT FINISHED!

As salaamu `alaikum,

AlHamdulillah, the script is now done. I have made some MAJOR changes to it, such as deciding to making it all male, adding and deleting scenes, etc.

I must reiterate that the script is merely a guideline to the scenes and dialogue. I definitely am for allowing ad-libbing where I see fit and the actors coming up with ideas for the scenes. So what you see is not necessarily what you will get.

I want the style of filming to stand out the most. Me and Ali experimented in the early days with action and dialogue scenes with no script at all. What lasted for less than a minute took us hours to edit. I believe that in a more fine-tune approach to filming this movie will make out the final product look good. For example, when I directed the commercial for Muslim Wristbands, I came in there with an idea of how I wanted to film it. Less than an hour later, my ideas changed and I decided to shoot a "Mentos-like" commercial with no script whatsoever. Editing was the key to make the final product look good, and my biggest concern is editing.

Insha Allah now in the next 2-3 weeks, I will begin storyboarding. Most likely I will do what Ali did with "Pray As If It's Your Last Prayer" movie and that is to take pictures of the scenes for my storyboard. I will keep you guys up to date on that insha Allah.
