This post will be about my script for my film opening! A script is a necessary piece of the film since it holds the story, lines the actors say, and emotions they need to convey, so scripts basically have the whole story on words and descriptions.
Now I have to write one for my films opening, I have researched different scripts and looked at examples of a script for my genre. I looked over screenplays/scripts from Goodfellas and I saw how they wrote their script and wanted to use the same kind of formula they used.

The Monsters We Become
INT. HOUSE – NIGHT
A quiet street. One house lit.
INT. BASEMENT STAIRWELL – NIGHT
Muted voices below. The NARRATOR descends the stairs.
BASEMENT – NIGHT
A group of MEN in dark suits stand and sit in silence.
Smoke lingers.
NARRATOR (V.O.)
Everyone here had a role.
The narrator scans the room.
ON LOUIS
Restless. Leaning against the wall.
NARRATOR (V.O.)
That’s Louis. He never handled pressure well.
EXT. ALLEY – NIGHT (FLASHBACK)
Louis stands by a dumpster, breathing fast.
He looks around. Nervous.
He throws a body bag into the dumpster.
INT. BASEMENT – NIGHT
Louis steadies himself.
CAMERA ON SECOND MAN
Seated. Papers on the table.
NARRATOR (V.O.)
Some people keep their hands clean.
Money moves quicker.
CAMERA ON OLDER MAN
Still. Watching everyone.
NARRATOR (V.O.)
Others don’t need to say anything at all.
The older man meets the narrator’s eyes.
CAMERA BACK TO NARRATOR
NARRATOR (V.O.)
I grew up thinking this was normal.
That this was family.
WIDE SHOT – BASEMENT
The men talk quietly.
NARRATOR (V.O.)
Turns out, not everyone does.
FADE OUT.
