Script Development

 Today in class, I discussed with Tyler about the script for our film opening and how much dialogue we should include. We realized that we need to cut down on our dialogue since it may take too much time from the entire duration of our film so we are going to keep it simple and include only a few lines, which also builds the tension for the film. The lack of dialogue helps express the action and thrill meant to be felt and it keeps our length at a minimum. We discussed the general idea of our script and will come up with our full script during Spring Break and create a professional dialogue. Our script consists of not talking until I am unmasked in the garage and I am being questioned, where Matthew starts and says, "Why did you do it?" I will respond with, "I have no idea what you are talking about," and Tyler will follow up with, "We know you are lying. Tell us the truth!" I will respond with, "I didn't do anything, just let me go." While this conversation occurs, the camera will show me slowly slipping out the rope and pushing them away to escape. While running away, I am going to say, "Who found out?" to create a plot twist. Finally, Matthew will receive a phone call where the original girl from the first scene is asking "Did you get him?" and he will respond with, "No, he escaped. We'll get him next time," and it show the name on the phone and the film will end when he hangs up.

We cut down on the film's plot and shortened many things, such as the fight scene, as previously mentioned, and the extended usage of a credit scene and long camera shots. We are scratching our previous title, 'The Kidnapping,' and are planning to come up with a more unique name. We plan to do each shot very fast and keep the opening fast-paced to hopefully cut under the 2-minute mark and ensure it will be a perfect film opening.
