Planning My Thriller - Draft Script

Today I made a draft of the storyboard I would like to use in script format:

  • The first part will show the antagonist running away from the protagonist, this will be done through various shots, such as close ups and establishing shots of the protagonist running.
  • We will then film the antagonist acting "cool" by filming him in dark sunglasses with him leaning on a wall smoking.
  • Their will then be shots of the antagonist climbing into his car and driving off.
  • The shots will turn to the protagonist still running yet getting tired with the antagonist getting closer and closer.
  • Soon we will show the antagonist who catches up to the protagonist and will then taunt him, the protagonist will run off to an area where he can't be followed by the car but while running away falls over.
  • Lastly we will film the protagonist being caught in the headlights like a hare being dazed into the lights as if he is hunted.
  • It will end by the antagonist leaving the car and walking up to the protagonist, he will raise a gun but we will not know what happens.

I will use a lot of various camera angles, shots, equipment and editing tools to make this thriller intro unique, suspenseful and exiting. Even though I am not planning to have any talking in this intro as I feel if anything it will add to the tension.

The next step I will take is updating this draft script into a finalised storyboard.
