Script for film opening

 Hey guys, after some time, me and my group have finally came up with our script for the film opening. It's a lot but here it is.


Fade in:

1. INT THE ROOM-NIGHT

Fathers POV: Fathers hand, smeared in blood while holding a bloodied knife in the same state. Visibly trembling, shaking by the fear in him. His wife is with him, showing the both still alive. They're slowly walking through the door of the room they'd climbed into, heavily breathing and panting.

CONSTANT SOUNDS OF ZOMBIES AND PEOPLE MAKING NOISE IN THE BACKROUND(outside)

SIRENS AND GUNSHOTS IN THE BACKROUND SIGNALING TO THE PEOPLE IN THE VICINITY FIGHTING THE ZOMBIES

THE HALLWAY

Fathers POV: The father and mother have appreared outside the door, in the hallway, seeing a room they intend to go at the very end of the hallway. The dad is looking forward towards this door until a dark, silhouette of a dark leg is slowly creeping through the hallway's corner. The parents look around not knowing what to do.

CONSTANT SOUNDS OF ZOMBIES AND PEOPLE MAKING NOISE IN THE BACKROUND(outside)

SIRENS AND GUNSHOTS IN THE BACKROUND SIGNALING TO THE PEOPLE IN THE VICINITY FIGHTING THE ZOMBIES

THE SOUNDS SLOWLY MUFFLE AS THE INTENSITY OF THE SITUATION HIGHTENS

THE DARK ROOM

The parents rush into a room on the right side of the hallway, attempting to hide from "whatever" is lurking through the shadows. The couple successfully hides as the being walks by the room not noticing the couple hiding in the darkness of the room.

ALL SOUNDS ARE MUFFLED. JUST THE BREATHING OF THE COUPLE REMAIN.

INTERCUT CONVERSATION BETWEEN THE TWO

FATHER(JASON GRAY)
(Towards his wife while looking out the door)
Okay, I think we're in the clear
MOTHER(HEATER GRAY)
(Staring happily towards her husband, sighing of relief) Ok!

2. INT. THE DARK ROOMS TERROR-NIGHT

FATHERS POV: The father watches as hands crawl out of the shadows of the dark room and surround the face of his wife, yanking her down. The shots change between different inserts of the mans face in terror, his eyes shaking, and angles of him trying to pull his wife out.

THE SOUND OF MUNCHING AND SCREAMING FILL THE ROOM

THE MOTHERS AGONY

MOTHER
(The wife screaming in agony holding her arm up while the father attempts to rescue her) AHHHHH!!!!


BACK TO THE HALLWAY

VARIETY OF CLOSE UPS< MID SHOTS AND LONG SHOTS

The father runs out of the room, knowing he can't save his wife. A fast tempo array of shots show the process of him running into the wall of the room, running out and slamming the door on his way out to then landing on the wall of the hallway are shown.

THE SOUNDS OF THUDDING ONTO WALLS, SLAMMING THE DOOR, AND THEN SOUNDS OF PANTING FROM CATCHING BREATHS.

THE CLICKING ROOM

FATHERS POV: The father looks up upon remembering about the entity that had passed him in his wife when they had inside the other room. The sounds of the mother were loud enough to get his attention. Now that the entity knows he'es there, the father without a seconds thought makes a run for it, trying his hardest to make it to the room at the very end of the hallway.

THE SOUNDS OF CLICKING ENVELOPE THE ROOM WITH THE SOUND OF FINGERS TAPPING ON THE SIDES OF THE DOOR BOARDS.

THE SOUND OF QUICK PACED FOOT STEPS FILL THE ROOM WITH TWO SEPERATE BEINGS

THE ROOM AT THE END

FATHERS POV WITH MID SHOTS: The father will be running towards this room, seeing it get closer and closer, but then the camera will fall down signifying the father has fallen and before he's able to completely fall, a shot showing half his body(as a mid shot) as he completely manages to fall, with his hand reaching so close to the room

SOUNDS OF FOOT STEPS, FOLLOWED WITH THE SCREAMS OF ENTITY, ENDING WITH A CLICKING OF THE SHOE AS IT MISPLACES.

THE FATHERS FEAR

FATHER
(Father screaming in fear of him dying) NOO! AHHHHHH!!

THE CLOSET DOOR

MASTER SHOT/LONG SHOTS:

 Finald shot of the opening. The father is getting eaten in the background, in agonizing pain. The shot begins with the knife he'd previously been holding, now on the floor. A slow building puddle of bloods envelops the blood, as blood is also being splattered around it and on it. After a bit of being deeply focused on this, the camera moves up, pointing towards a closet slightly creaked open. The camera starts to move towards the camera, zooming into the crack showing the terrified face of somebody watching(the son) with blood splatter across their face.

SOUNDS OF THE FATHER SCREAMING, IN PAIN, WHILE SOUNDS OF THE ZOMBIE MUNCHING ON FLESH ALSO ENVELOPES THE ROOM.

THE PREVIOUS SOUNDS OF SIRENS, GUNSHOTS, AND SCREAMING OUTSIDE BEINGS TO REAPPEAR.

BACKROUND MUSIC INTRODUCD TO THE OPENING AS A LOW PITCH, MORE INTIMIDATING AUDIO IS PLAYED TO ENFORCE THE SUSPENSE OF THE SCENE.
 
FADE OUT.


Before I wrap up this blog, I want to say that there is 2 scenes instead of 1 because we wanted the scene heading #1 to be when the story began suspenseful with the intensity of hiding from the entity then turn neutral due to belief that they were safe, and have scene heading 2 be the intense change in ton to where the story becomes completely horrific, showcasing the terror just experience by the characters
