Film Production Screenplay

 EXT./INT NEIGHBOURS HOUSE- DAY

The MURDERER is seen with his first victim going towards his home and the wheelchair boy, who is the murderer's neighbour, on the inside trying to get the young woman's attention.

1) The MURDERER and the FIRST VICTIM walking down the road.

2) WHEELCHAIR BOY, seeing this bangs on the window in desperation.

3) The MURDERER and the FIRST VICTIM continue walking and into the murderers house, appearing not to notice.

INT. MURDERERS HOUSE- DAY

We see the MURDERER acting friendly and flirtatious with the FIRST VICTIM, it appears as if it is a date. Then it switches to her dead body. It’s made obvious that it was the man that killed her.

SERIES OF SHOTS:

In the kitchen the MURDERER is turning on the kettle and acting friendly, smiling etc.

1) They are now in the sitting room with drinks in their hands they are laughing and it appears that they are having a good time. It’s visible that the woman has no idea that the man wants to kill her.

2) The FIRST VICTIM is now dying on the floor.

3) We see the feet of the MURDERER walking out of the room.

INT. ESTATE CORRIDOR- DAY

The MURDERER has caught on to what the WHEELCHAIR BOY is doing. So in this scene the MURDERER threatens the WHEELCHAIR BOY and then locks him in a room.

MURDERER

I know what your doing

WHEELCHAIR BOY

What do you mean?!

MURDERER

I saw you watching me from the window

WHEELCHAIR BOY

I don’t know what you’re talking about, I don’t know what you mean.

MUDERER

I’m telling you, if you tell anyone I’m going to kill you

WHEELCHAIR BOY

NO! Arrgghh what you doing?! Stop it!

Production Obstacles

19th November 2010
The opening sequence was meant to be filmed at night time so it made getting the lighting correct a bit more difficult. It was obvious that it was day time so we had to alter the plot slightly. the days filming also took longer than we had originally anticipated...

Production Successes

18th November 2010
Today we were able to transport all of our props and equipment to our filming location off school site shows meticulous initiative and precision as we were able to be organised.Another success was being able to borrow the schools only wheelchair, I handed in a letter to a member of staff that stated what our intentions were and this I believe was essential as it showed maturity and organisation, this was our most important prop as it strayed from the conventional thriller which we wanted to do.

19th November 2010

We started and finished our opening sequence production. I think overall the groups organisation and corporation made the day successful. Another success was that a member of the group was able to accommodate the scene in their home this helped us greatly because our complex storyline relied upon a house location. The scenes that were supposed to be at night were replicated to a decent level since we was in the day time.

29th November 2010
Today we started the editing of our opening sequence, it was good looking at our ideas and storyboards come into action.

6th December 2010
We were able to do another day of filming, this was needed in order for us to improve the quality of our thriller work.
