Planning - Script Writing

     Hello everyone, it's yours truly; back at it again with another blog post. This post, I wanna talk about what are my plans for the script of my film opening since obviously it won't be a silent film. 

    With that, let's start with what would be typical in a psychological horror film opening and how would I be able to recreate that within my own film opening. Now, we can see this films such as the Scream 2 where it starts off with a replay of the scene of ghost face killing his victim at the end of the first film. They would then show ghost face along with a girl watching the scene like a film who would soon realize that he's the real ghost face and would stab and kill her. I think with this, it can really show that this trilogy of films can be very connected by doing things like this in their films to give unique scenes to the movies. It also would use the typical horror of much older horror films that would start by having two characters watching a horror movie and one of the characters turns out to be a monster.

    Moving forward, I want to talk about another film that can do a great job at starting off their film to engage the audience. The film I am talking about is the original Jaws movie. Although this film isn't the type of horror film I plan on creating, I do still want to look at other horror films to get some ideas on what to do for my own. For example, in this film they would pan the camera towards a woman swimming in the ocean where we as the audience would be looking in the water. This is meant to signify that we are looking through the eyes of the shark that is going to attack the woman since in most cases sharks would be stalking their prey. With this, I think I can begin painting the picture of what I would like my film opening to look like by viewing these film openings.

    Overall, I still am very ensure of how or what I want to have in my film opening since i haven't even decided where to start doing the filming. I think that once I can have a setting for my film, it can be much easier to have my starting angle for the first scene. Just know that this is most likely going to change in the future.
