screenplay- a new perspective

Screenplay

Fade in
POV person 1 walking down a pavement everything from their perspective is warmer and this is to show how they are in a good mental state, person 2 in background but natural amount.
Person 1 walks into college and meets a friend before walking to class, having a general chat

friend1: you alright mate
person 1: yeah mate you alright

friend 1: i actually can't be arsed for film
person 1: i know mate same

In class person 1 is talking to a friend about a party they attended and it is inferred that person 2 'ruined' the party.

Person 2 storms out of the room and breaks a pencil in half
Friend 2: Anger issues


On their way home person 1 sees person 2 about to jump in front of a train, they run to them and stop them.


We revert to the start of the film but it is a lot colder to show their mental state, where person 2 is walking to college with person1 in the background. They follow person 1 into college, and meeting their friend

friend1: you alright mate
person 1: yeah mate you alright

they surpass person 1 and get to class before them, they hear person 1 and friend 2 discussing the party. They then storm out of the classroom and snap a pencil in anger. They leave and find a train track and go to climb over a wall to jump and commit suicide. Person 1 stops them and we see what they look like for the first time in the whole film.

Directors infulence essay

The most important influence on a film can be described as the Auter, which is usually discussed in relation to the director but could also be anyone who takes creative control of a project. For example, the film Blade runner the auter can be described as Ridley Scott The director or even some of the actors, like the actor who played Batty. He could be described as an auter because his final monologue he wrote himself, therefore making him, arguably, an auter of Blade Runner. The director is the most important part of the film in regards to how its shot and the plot, but not always the finished product. Studios tend to mess with films and the directors vision for finished product is not always brought to light and the studio can mess with films so much post and during production that its far from the directors original vision. Blade Runner and The Lady from Shanghai are two excellent examples of this. Both films the directors were restricted artistically and budget wise. Warner ...

Typewriter font- California 1995 1:00AM on a black screen. Fades out to a BLANK SCREEN ONLY SOUND IS CLOCK TICKING "MARCIA" A curly haired man with an athletic build in a scruffy suit with the top buttons undone and a faint stain on his white sirt. Is sat at his incredibly messy desk with piles of papers and empty fast food containers smoking a cigarette surrounded by papers and documents the office is dark and messy. The walls are grey and the overall feel of the room is very drab and depressing, which the fmily photos upon the desk juxtapose. Marcia has heavy bags under his eyes and messy hair sticking up everywhere. He leans back in his chair sighing, he quickly becomes frustrated with the thought of the trial and it's fustrations which we see through his body language and facial expresions being very slouched over and having little expression in his face. He stands and throws the desks contents to the ground in a fit of fustration. He stands breathing heavily looking...

Screenplay- the media vs women

  Marcia has bag under his eyes and messy hair sticking up everywhere. He leans back in his chair sighing, he quickly becomes frustrated with the thought of the trial and it's fustrations. He stands and throws the desks contents to the ground. He stands breathing heavily before running a hand through his hair and falling to the ground to clear up the mess. He picks up a few documents before a magazine (!!! This magazine MUST have the picture actually leaked but with everything covered by a black bar) with leaked nude photos of them at the beach. He stands inspecting the magazine running a hand through his hair and a look of sad curiosity while inspecting the magazine cover (if possible will cut to footage of Marcia crying in court or news coverage of when it came out) His look turns to a frustrated anger and he chuck the magazine into the overflowing bin which is overflowing with cigarettes and a bottle of vodka. Rubs his hands together and returns to the task. After sifting throug...
