Main Task: Screen Play

The dictionary defines the screenplay or a script that is written by screenwriters for a film, video game or a television program. These screenplays or scripts must include acting instructions and stage directions.
Down below is a copy of the script that was written for our opening.
The Script


Scene description
Set in an old abandoned garage. Bright lights shine on a table, upon the table lay a girl unconscious. Above her stands a man dressed in doctors uniform.

Doctor

(Picks up the scissors and moves around the girl on table)

Girl

(Wakes up, but still drugged and so is coming in and out of consciousness. She is making squirming, crying, scared sounds)
Doctor

“There’s no point, no-one can hear you”

Girl

“Please… let me go (continues crying) Please, please, I wont tell anyone… Just let me go”

Doctor

(Leans over the girl and strokes her cheek)
 “Everything is going to be fine”


Girl

(Flinches and pulls away)
(Sternly) “Get off of me!”

Doctor

“Shhhhhhhhhhh”

Girl

(Starts screaming and panicking)

“Please help me…. help, help, anybody help me… “

Doctor 

“No-one can hear you!” (He hits the girl)

Girl

(Crying) “Please” (Whispers) “Please just let me go…”
Doctor

“Once I finish, you are free to leave”
(Doctor picks up a scalpel)
Girl

“What are you going to do to me?

Doctor

(Walks over to her and aims the scalpel)

Girl

“No… stop please!”
(Scared, crying sounds)

Doctor

(Cuts into the girl’s stomach, she passes out from the pain and shock)


Reflection
With this script I do think there is much dialogue which can be good but also bad as you would not be able to understand with visuals.
As we got on set and the actors had read through their lines it seemed to flow naturally but also they made it there own by saying other lines and mixing it up a bit which I personally think was great as it did not look so scripted and looked real.
