Hello blog! We finally made it to the script for our film opening. Here it is:
INT. LIVING ROOM – EVENING:
The room’s dim but cozy. In the background, the television is humming. Juan and Caesar are on the couch, eating snacks, relaxed and making jokes.
JUAN: (laughing) Bro, we've been inside all day.
CAESAR: That is what a good weekend is all about.
The television switches to a static screen.
SFX: Loud crackling noise.
Both look up.
TV BROADCAST (V.O.)This is a way of emergency broadcasting. Every person is encouraged to stay inside their homes. Close all the doors and windows.
The roomgoes silent.
JUAN: What was that?
CAESAR: Probably just a test.
The television show gets re-aired, but in a more distorted way.
TV BROADCAST (V.O.) Do not leave your home. Stay inside.
Caesar turns the volume up.
JUAN: That didn’t sound normal.
They exchange uneasy looks.
INT. HALLWAY – CONTINUOUS:
Caesar walks towards the front door slowly.
SFX: There is a low metallic sound of something going on outside.
He stops.
CAESAR: Did you hear that?
There is another sound, the rattling of a doorknob.
INT. LIVING ROOM / FRONT DOOR :
Juan stands up.
JUAN: Someone’s out there.
The rattling grows louder.
SFX: There is an abrupt THUD on the door.
Both step back.
CAESAR: None of them are supposed to be out.
Silence.
Then- BANG.
The lights flicker.
Juan locks the door.
CLICK. EXTREME CLOSE‑UP – DOOR HANDLE
The handle rotates slowly on the outside.
INT. LIVING ROOM:
There is a faint repetition of the emergency broadcast over the TV.
TV BROADCAST (V.O.) Remain inside. This is for your safety.
There is a last, bang on the door.
Juan and Caesar stare at eachother, frozen.
CUT TO BLACK.
I can't wait to finally film this project. I have an amazing feeling that this film will turn out perfect. I am so invested in our idea and have so many ideas on what to incorporate within our film.
When creating the script my partner and I attempted to follow the following picture, but added some tweaks that we thought would be better:
