The Story's Beginning

    Hello, welcome back my fellow viewers, today I will be discussing the script of the film opening itself and the beginning of the opening scene. In my film opening, there won't be very much talking as I really want to capture the sound of silence and the sudden sounds to create that sensation of fear. This in turn will make the sound that more thrilling and exciting to hear.
    The beginning of the film will show the film opening and creates, it will also have a lot of joyful laughs and people in the background telling each other they love one another. This is where the film title and the opening credits will be displayed, but then the scene will take a sound jump cut towards the beginning of the action. The father/slasher, still no name working on that, will look down at his mask. The camera will take full focus on the mask and the details which are written on the mask. The slasher is standing right outside the house of his first victim of the film. Inspired by the movie Friday the 13th and the character Jason Voorhees, a background voice will be heard of the daughter who will be motivating the father.

    Elena will be at first seeing her innocent laughs and happiness, but as time goes on by her laugh will become more menacing and it will all become darker. She will then begin to whisper, 
    "Daddy, Daddy,"
    "Daddy I know you see the way she is acting and how she is too good for everyone one"
    "She is the type of girl that killed me, those girls should be punished!" 
    "End them so that they don't kill me again."
    The camera will then shift from the slasher looking at his mask to him looking up and looking through the window of the girl.

    She will then begin to read out loud all of the cards and notes she received from Valentine's Day and will be very cocky and very conceited. This will not only enrage the slasher more but will be the motive to begin his rampage. The camera will have her in her room at a higher angle doing her make-up while the audience is able to see through her window that the slasher is there staring at her from her front porch. This will cause a lot of suspense as the audience will notice this scene but will not understand if they are meant to know or not. The camera will then move to her again as she accidentally messes up but it will go back to its previous location and the slasher will not be found. 
    This is the beginning of the film opening and I believe there is not very much dialogue in this film opening because I have a philosophy which is to make a great horror movie it needs to focus on the camera techniques, the sound, and the editing to make it great. Dialogue is just a bonus if there can be helpful dialogue. Overall, this will be the beginning of the film opening and I will continue to further brainstorm and revise my ideas. See you all on the next blog, stay safe.
