Script

Finally! A story that we can film. The trick is not reveal too much, but the right amount for the audience to want to find out more. See, it's not about what you show, it's what you leave in the audience's imagination. For example, Gravity. Two Astronuts lost in space. The whole time you are trying to get to a conclusion. How is this going to end? Are they gonna die? How the hell are they going to get from space to the earth? Although not very acccurate, the story found a way and the end the fantastical feats that the characteres go through overshadow the realistic point of view. Movies are just that. They are fictional and leave why am I watching this? So what are you going to do? The main thing is to introduce the character and sympathize with him. In turn, the audience will relate to him thus making the audience sympathetic, not relatable. This will leave the audience wanting him to suceed. This will activate the imagination throughout the whole piece. Movies are just that. They are fictional and leave the imagination of the audience wanting more. In this film opening, we have introduce the main players, the setting, and the conflict. Frankie, a normal, shy high school boy is bullied occasionally and not well recieved at his school. Behind closed curtains and the endless stage of the internet, he becomes his alter ego. A mysterious entity with a mask, popularizing himself around the school. Eddie, the school's bully disrespects him and occasionally beats him. Emma, his girlfriend and Frankie's love interest has a humanistic side and sympathizes with Frankie. This is when the audience will connect with Frankie. At the end of the film opening, we decided to go with a cliffhanger. The mask is in Frankie's backpack. It falls out and is lost. Suddenly, two feet approach it and a hand reaches to pick it up. Who might it be? Well, you gotta see the film to find out.

Here is the script:

A bedroom is shown. FRANKIE GIBSON wakes up and gets up into the frame. The alarm starts playing and really wakes him up. He then walks out of the bed. A computer is shown from afar and the camera pushes forward when he exits the frame.  

Music starts playing as radio quality. When drum hits… A website appears on the screen. It’s YouTube

*FRANKIE gets up. The mask falls off as waves of people crowd the _______. Nobody pays attention to the mask. Suddenly two feet stop. A guy picks it up. AXEL SMITH, a very popular student from a high class family. He will be the one that changes the story. He smirks and hides the mask.
