Exactly what it says on the tin, you're going to try your hand at writing a FILM SCRIPT for the opening of a horror film.
Why?
So you get an idea of how to layout the script, how to structure it, what info is needed, what film terms you need to use, etc.
How?
- Reread the REAL working script from John Carpenter's Halloween. Discuss the layout and what information is included for the director, cinematographer, editor and sound designer.
- Find a copy of the script in the download section of the school intranet: college\english\IB Film Studies\Halloween
- Watch the opening of Scream (up until 1 min 35 seconds: "oh, just some scary movie")
- Write your script on a new blog post.
- You can use the following breakdown of shots to help you get started with your script
- You should finish your post by lesson end today.
Feedback
- What are the strong points of the opening to this horror film? How does it compare to Halloween?
- What information seemed important to include in your script? Was there anything that you felt was not important to include?
