Script creation

The creation of my script was a long process but now that I'm done it feels so rewarding, it makes me want to start filming already. I wanted to be able to write down all the ideas I had and fit it into my script. That is why I'm so excited to start filming because I feel like all the ideas I wanted to include in my film fit the script perfectly. Justin is the unsuspecting boy just getting ice cream at night and Jackie is just a random girl who has a suspicious factor about her.

ESTABLISHING SHOT - ICE CREAM SHOP EXIT 

  • ACTION: Justin glances around, as he walks onto the sidewalk. He licks his ice cream, looking relaxed. 

 

THE ENCOUNTER. 

  • JACKIE: "Hey! Nice ice cream. You look like you're really enjoying that." 

  • JUSTIN: "Oh, hey. Yeah, it's good. Superman is the best flavor. You want a bite?" 

  • JACKIE: "No, thanks. I just came out to get some air. That chain looks nice is it real?" 

  • JUSTIN: "My grandma gave it to me for graduation so I'm pretty sure it's real. I'm Justin, by the way." 

  • JACKIE: "I'm Jackie. Where you headed?" 

  • JUSTIN: "Just walking around, I guess." 

  • JACKIE: "Me too. Mind if I join you?" 


THE BUMP 

  • AUDIO: A sharp, jarring thud. Justin grunts. 

  • JUSTIN: "Hey! Watch it!" 

  • VISUAL: The Killer briefly makes eye contact with Jackie, a flicker of something in their eyes. Jackie returns a subtle, almost knowing glance. This is brief and chilling. 

  • Justin's phone vibrates in his pocket. He glances down and answers. 

 

THE CALL 

  • KILLER: "Nice chain." 

  • JUSTIN: "Who is this? What do you want?" 

  • The call ends abruptly with static. 


INTO THE SHADOWS 

  • VISUAL: Jackie calmly leads Justin down a narrow, unlit alleyway between two buildings. This alleyway is claustrophobic and ominous.

  • JUSTIN: "Jackie, where are we going? This place is creepy." 

  • JACKIE: "It's a shortcut. Don't be such a baby." 

  • ACTION: As they pass a deep shadow, Jackie stops suddenly, blocking Justin's path. she kneels down saying she needs to tie her shoe 

  • VISUAL: We see the killer's shadow behind Justin as he turns around to look at Jackie. 

 

OFF-SCREEN KILL 

  • AUDIO: A blood curdling scream that is then abruptly cut off. A sickening thud. The sounds of a desperate struggle quickly silenced. 

 

NEWS REPORT 

  • VISUAL: Close-up on a newspaper headline: "WESTON TEEN FOUND DEAD IN ALLEYS". The camera pans down to a paragraph where it states that Justin was the only one found dead that night. no other victims were found at the scene.
