Film opening Script

 Good Evening Cambridge, me and my group partner G met up and began to work on the script as well as the screen play together, and so this is what we both came up with.

DECEDENT

INT - NIGHT - DARK CORRIDOR

We see a dark corridor. Nothing is seen except bloody footprints leading the camera towards a door... as we inch closer... and closer to the door, the CREDITS WILL ROLL... about a quarter of the way to the door, we notice an arm laying on some type of surface above the ground and a bloody photo on the ground... BLOOD IS NOW SHOWN dripping off the person’s arm slowly and slowly... almost entrapping the viewer in some type of loop as the camera continues to move slowly through the corridor. The camera stops almost reaching the doorway. Suddenly, we see the body drop to the ground, inserting a large imposing title card (DECEDENT) portraying the thriller nature of the opening. As the title card is displayed, the soundtrack commences with a sinister tone, further amplifying the thriller nature. Since the film is the crossover between a noir film and thriller film, both genres will complement each other, allowing for further interpretation of contrasts and important plot points in the film without being too caught up in the visuals. 

CUT TO 

INT - NIGHT - BEDROOM

Close-ups and extreme close-ups, tagging with panning and tilt movements of bloody photographs scattered around the room. The pictures reveal the killer’s plot. This gives the film its reason and shows the setting up of the plot for the rest of the film. We then cut to a bird’s-eye view shot of the body laying lifelessly... bloody pictures... blood stains scattered... dismantled room... are all seen in this bird’s-eye view shot. 

SINISTER SCORED CUTS ALONG WITH MATCH CUT 

MATCH CUT 

INT - DAY - BEDROOM

We now see a body chalk outline... blood stains scattered... decomposing body... dismantled room... crime scene cones... and forensics and detectives enter. Still capturing all this with the bird’s-eye view shot. Detectives are seen gathering information and evidence with a variety of shot types, from close-ups to wide shots. 

INT - DAY - BEDROOM

The final sequence begins with a mid-shot of the chalk drawing of the body in the crime scene, a tilt/pan up to the lead detective looking disturbed, and as the camera moves out of the room, the camera shakes slightly in the pattern of footsteps, signifying the entity being the killer, and as we finish where we begin, slowly the sinister score returns and there we will abrupt cut. 

CUT TO BLACK 

THE END 

And for the Screen Play this is what we came up with but it was formatted mainly by G while I was more focused on the material within the screenplay as well as script.
