Scripting Our Opening Scene

This is the second step of completing my portfolio.

This step will mostly consist of the finance and production of films. To start off, we must start with the script. My group and I are going to conduct a mystery film. It will be more beneficial if I research and look at scripts that reside with my genre. Mystery film scripts mostly consist of including every detail in a crime. You must plan out the who, what, where, why, and how. Knowing these things are beneficial to writing the script. Another important thing to consider doing is listing out your suspects and their motives. You must be able to use the settings to exaggerate the atmosphere of it. For instance, if you don't tell but express that there is danger everywhere and change around the location every so often the reading will find it very much suspenseful and interesting. Instead of telling everything that is happening, show them, this will give the reader a chance to put the puzzle together. Not to mention, mystery films are filled with false clues. You have to misdirect your reader, this will build even more suspense. 

After some research, I found a script that is similar to mine, Link to similar script. The reason why I chose this script because it includes a plethora of dialogue. Our script will include tons of dialogue. I also liked that this script also included different locations. Both interior and exterior. Which is what we also plan on doing. 

My group and I have worked on scripting our opening scene. Our opening scene will include scenes both inside and outside, it also includes fade-ins and fade-outs. 

Here is my script:
