The Horror film script

This is the script for the horror film. The horror film contains no dialogue, so this is more of a description of the actions and cuts in the film. The storyboard contains a more visual version of this "script".


The Script:

We cut to the inside of a building with our protagonist. A student. (Alex McNally)

The student notices a newspaper on the ground and picks it up. He looks at the paper and the camera looks over his shoulder at the newspaper. There are no important details on the paper

Cut to outside

The camera pans right slowly, showing a nature scene

Cut to student

The student bins the newspaper

Cut to outside

The camera zooms into a window on a shed

Cut to overhead shot of the bin

The newspaper is showing the side the student didn't see. It shows details of a killer (Alex Harris) escaping prison.

Cut to dark room

The camera slowly pans right, showing a pinboard with some pictures of the student, a school, and various arrows and notes indicating that the student is a target of some sort.

Cut back to the student

The student walks across the room and tries to open the door to exit, but he finds that it is locked. He struggles with the door, and gives up.

Cut back to the dark room

The camera pans towards the right, showing the the masked killer mentioned in the newspaper. He is looking down at a knife that he's sharpening. The camera pans towards his face, and the killer stops sharpening his knife, pauses, and looks at the camera.

CUT TO BLACK.

That's the end of the "script". Considering the lack of dialogue in the film, this is more of a non-visual story board.

Hot Fuzz Scene Analysis: Kill the Messenger

Image
Here is my analysis of the death of Tim Messenger in the film "Hot Fuzz". Here is the link to the video I used: v=BavTQmiA9mc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BavTQmiA9mc WARNING: This clip contains a high amounts of gore. This is Tim Messenger. He comes to Nickolas Angel (Simon Pegg) and tells him that he wants to talk about George Merchant: a character who died earlier in the film. The remains of his death were dismissed as an accident, but Nick suspects it to have been a murder. Tim's name referrers to his role as a messenger, and whatever message he was going to deliver (before his rude interruption at the end of the clip) would be useful for clearing up any doubt surrounding Georges death. He asks Nick to meet him at the church at 3. His hasty request and exit combined with his worried face hint that he fears that what he wants to tell Nick might put him in danger. The fact he wants to go to a place where no-one else is likely to be tells us that anyone other t...

Finished Film Evaluation

Link to Horror Film: Hide and Seek Hide and Seek is the name of my variation of a horror film I (Alex Harris) worked on with Alex McNally. It's a short film of sorts, but it serves as a trailer or prologue of a larger story. That larger story is that a detective landed a killer in prison prior to the events of the movie. The killer (Alex Harris) escapes by the time the film starts and is now hunting the detective's son (Alex McNally) and the detective has to save his son from the killer. While not stated outright, the backstory is hinted at during the short film. Specifically, with the whiteboard in the killers hideout.  For instance, the left side of the whiteboard shows a picture of the detective (Alex McNally with a hat and fake moustache) a line between the detective and the half picture of the son, (meaning that there's a link between the two characters) and a school (the sons location) the killer wrote "bad" next to the picture of the detective, meanin...

Mise en scene

Image
Mise en scene is a French phrase. It's used to describe the arrangement of the setting in a scene. Here is the Mise en scene of Hogwarts Castle from the Harry Potter series: Here is Hogwarts Castle at night. The Boat Riders in the foreground give a sense of scale to the castle, making it seem even larger then it is. The small, lower down building with the door, (presumably acting as an entrance for the boat-riders gives an even better idea of scale. The door itself resembles a big church door, which are known for being massive, which is not only practical considering that Hagrid also enters this door, but also gives Hogwarts an even bigger sense of grandeur then before. The dark night sky and moonlight conveys a sense of mystery that cannot be replicated in daylight. The lights in the castle windows tell us that there are people inside the castle, and seeing how big the castle is, there must be a lot of people to need lights on in that many rooms, further hinting that Hogwar...
