Script Writing

The genre horror is a film genre that is scary for entertainment purposes only. The intended audience for this type of film consists of younger audiences because they are most likely to seek thrill. The purpose of horror movies is to give the viewer an insight on their biggest fears and worst nightmares.

Based on my research when doing a script writing/doing a screenplay for the genre horror, I have found that doing horror screenplay is different from other types. Provided that, a horror script must have certain aspects in order to follow the conventions of a horror film like scaring and giving the directed audience a adrenaline rush that they were expecting in the horror film.

Some key things script writers include in their script writes:

• More action than dialogue- this allows the audience to see what the character is afraid or instead of just telling the.
• Mounting suspense/jump scares- Start the story at a steady pace and the action to take viewer by surprise. For the jump scares, they must consist of noises or unexpected things to make the viewer jump.
• A villain or monster- anything that's beyond control. This helps the audience to understand what drives the entity to do something or what their capable of. 

These three pictures are images of my groups script write. In this script write, it consist of the scenes, if its ext or int, where its taking place, transitions if needed, dialogue, the actors name for each piece of the dialogue, or a description that happened in the scene. Once we finalized that we turned it and a few days after our teacher told us things we were supposed to fix for instance that dialogue. At first we didn't input it as a dialogue but as action so we had to change it to dialogue and add our names for the particular dialogue were going to be saying. 

                                  Strip board and production calendar

For the strip boarding portion we imported the script into the section on studio binder where it said to. Then we added the setting name/shoot location so it can group by location, the EST.(H). After we did that and added what we needed to add, we had to create a production calendar which was on studio binder. This production calendar allowed us to be more organized when setting up the scenes when we are ready to film for example shots that pertained with the school and library we split them up into one day so we could get most of the scenes done within the week, as well as color coding them so they could match up with the strip board. When adding these rows, we put the date its supposed to be filmed on with a some description.
