Writing the script

today in our lesson we are writing the script for our opening. Our idea for the piece is to have a monologue over the top of the action. We want this monologue to be emotive, as to link with the filming behind it. We looked at poetry to try and get some inspiration for the monologue, we decided to use a couple of verses from this poem called "Don't go out when its dark" written by one of the members in our group.

The night is a frightening place to be.
Not because of increased risk of stumbling on unseen ground,
Or even the shadows cast by ordinary objects that scare young children.

No, the dark is frightening,
For creatures lurk around every corner;
And the monsters of one's mind run rampant.

The tick of a clock becomes growling,
And candle flames the sharp teeth of vampires.
Light pixels morph from murderers to mummies.

The darkness of night is madness,
For what once was safe,
Has reflected your insanity

We thought a couple of the stanzas from this relate to our ending to our opening. We also looked at the opening monologue to American Beauty as it is in the same style.
