Draft Script

Here is a drafted script (details concerning script, representation will be discussed in more depth over the holidays) that we think would be good to include for our final project:

First shot should be something very sophisticated but simple, plot goes as follows

Detective sits opposite a prisoner (can’t see detectives face, prisoners face is bright white looking sickly)

Cuts to black, voiceover of detective asking questions

Quick flashbacks to situation (POV shots of prisoners view showing innocent girl having alcohol with the prisoner)

Cuts back and from interrogation and flashback

Point of view shot of prisoner, girl looking worried in close up, then loud noise (baseball bat hitting something really hard), then camera falls on the floor (still in POV, trying to show prisoner falling down from big hit)

Camera then cuts back interrogation, prisoner states he does not know what happened next
Camera goes in flashback anyway, high angle on two bodies, there is no voiceover at this point, just music, prisoner is lying down with a baseball bat beside him whilst girl has knife wounds with blood, camera then pans up to show a new man, he is looking angry and has a knife with blood in his hands
The camera then cuts back to the flashback where there is the man point of view and shows to be knocking out the prisoner and killing the girl (optional)
The man then drags the prisoners body towards the girl and places the knife which killed the girl in the prisoners hand
Camera then cuts to black and fades back into the interrogation, prisoner has hands in his head and then looks up, close up on interrogator (his face is in the shadows and cannot be seen), the interrogator then moves forward and shows his face, the audience can now see that he is the man who killed the girl and knocked out the prisoner


Interrogation – Black and white


Flashbacks – Colour


Titles - Should be very simple but sophisticated, possibly a high angle shot on a simple cup of tea whilst a mid-shot of interrogator wearing a suit picks it up as the titles show in amidst with what’s shown on screen, only use colours black and white for titles.
