Script/Play By Play of the Scene

This is essentially how the scene is going to look and what sort of narrative the film will follow.


SCENE:
OPEN LANDSCAPE SHOT: Nature Landscape Shot, Several turns which fade out and on the third turn we come to the shot with a couple sitting on a hill. Thing appear calm and relaxed. CLOSE UP: Shot of hand in hand. LONG SHOT NEXT TO CHARACTER/OVER THE SHOULDER: Shot changes to long shot from main character. He sees the couple and MOVE TO CLOSE UP: Looks down at his hand. Narration starts. *Scene continues with an over the shoulder shot with the main character being seen through many different shots as he explains his story.* MEDIUM SHOT POSSIBLE SLOW MOVEMENT TOWARDS HIM: The narration dies down and we end with our main character CLOSE UP: looking intently at his own hand. SIMILAR SHOT BUT CONTENTS CHANGE: The scene then flashes to our main character looking at his hands, now covered in blood, then flashing back. STARTS IN LONG SHOT, CHANGES TO MEDIUM SHOT FROM A DIFFERENT ANGLE: Our main character puts his hands on his head and curls up slightly. *The scene then shoots back to a flashback where our main character is covered in blood being dragged away by men in suits. The screen flashes black and then we hear a number of clanks and bangs. On the last one we immediately cut to a chase scene, later on at night. Our character is frantically running through a forest where he collapses against a tree. He touches part of his arm and a hologram appears with a company logo. The main character huddles himself and the scene jumps back to our character in the present where he clenches his fist and punches a wall then immediately swings around.

The narration ends with the line. “I’m taking my life back, today, Mark my words Exo-Corporation. There is no place you can hide.”
Narration for * “ Have you ever felt that you were sitting behind a looking glass, that your whole existence could be compared to a one way mirror. Silenced, and unseen. I have no Humanity left to share. What do you do, when everything is taken from you, even… your… soul.”
“This unfair crime that I am accused of, is but a fragment of my suffering. To be accused of ending the life of the one you loved. To be branded, as a murderer. Is difficult to bear. Yet now, It doesn’t affect me, Murder is a Human word. Much Like love. Or (Screen goes black) Mutilation.”
“On that day I may have lost my heart and my body. But what was left. Was my cruel hatred, imprinted from the cynical mind of the Exon-Corporation. I’m taking my life back, today, Mark my words Exo-Corporation. There is no place you can hide.”

  1. It would improve things if you formatted your text as a shooting script (see the example on my blog) and use a storyboard to illustrate your ideas.
