Unit 22 - Scripting in Media

Making decisions: I believe that the start of the story would work well for the script because it has a lot more dialogue as there are more characters compared to the rest of the film. The film starts with the main character visiting their grandmother however she had passed away shortly before they arrived. They rush her to the hospital however it is too late. Not long after she dies the main character inherits a large box of unknown origin. They open to box to find that it is filled with unfamiliar and oddly unnerving cutlery. The segment of the scripts ends with the main character viewing the first incident. Learning from examples: How is tension created in my section: tension is first created when the Chris' grandmother dies at the start of the film. Tension is also created when Chris receives the box and the abnormal events start. How is tension created in A Quiet Place: in segment 62 the scene consists of Evelyn giving birth in a bath while she is being hunted by one of the cr...

The point of the film is for the protagonist to wait for the police so that they can be safe before the intruder finds them. The horror aspect is from the mystery behind the intruder and what they will do while the home owner has to hide and wait to be saved.

The setting is a dark and very empty town which leads to her house. The plot is to get home before anything happens to she can call the police. The horror aspect comes from the feeling of being followed but the protagonist can't do anything about it because her phone is ...
