Horror Screenplay Draft 1

Visualise the Scene.

You should spend time allowing the scene to play in your mind’s eye. As if you were watching it as a finished film.

  • What is the opening shot?
  • How do you see the main protagonist?
    • What do they look like?
    • What have they just been doing?
    • What clues about the props / behaviour give us clues about their character?
  • What event happens which draws the character in to your scene?
    • How does the character respond to this new event?
  • How does the scene develop into a climax?
  • What is the final shot of the scene?

You must allow the scene to play in your mind several times through and make notes about the details in your mind.

Use this document to visualise your scene in five stage.

Limitation is Stimulation

Remember this must play out at Grange House and that your cast will be two people that come from within our class.

We will be filming during the day in relatively well lit rooms. We can colour correct in post, but obviously setting your film in the dark with torches may be problematic.
