Script Introduction WIP

Thanks for posting Nikki! I've tried to fit mine in so it could match yours. Here's what I have so far, and it by NO MEANS done. I still have to add Kevin's description, get the wording right, and make it decent, but the jist is there.

Anyways, here's my WIP:


INT LIVING ROOM – DAY

KEVIN (25)
PANs over the living room.

Close up of contents of coffie table. The camera pans to show ashtrays full of used cigarettes and ash. There are also blueprints of how to make TNT. Ontop of which are fuses, pliers, and miscellaneous cogwheels.

The camera tilts towards the ground as it pans to the far wall. Used tissues, empty cartons of cigarettes, beer cans, and pizza boxes litter the floor.

The camera tilts to it's normal position and pans up an entertainment center. A smashed television set rests in the center. On the top shelf are broken pictures of Kevin and Amy. Some of which are torn down the center. Others have Amy’s face scribbled on with a black sharpie. Only one picture is left untouched and still in a frame.

The camera turns 180 degrees to create an establishing shot of the living room. On the opposite wall is a large, musty green couch. Behind the couch is a large window with the curtains half-drawn.

Kevin faces the corner and turns towards the entertainment center. Strapped onto a vest are seven sticks of TNT fused to a digital timer. As he walks towards the entertainment center, he painstakingly sets the timer to exactly five minutes and hits a red button on top of the timer. The clock begins counting down.

Kevin looks up at the shelf of the entertainment center. He grabs the undamaged picture of himself and Amy and longingly stares at it as he walks towards the couch. He stops halfway. His longing expression turns to hatred. He winds up his arm and throws the picture at the floor. SMASH.

Close up – broken picture frame
The picture frame and protective glass is shattered into pieces. Kevin’s foot walks on top of the abused picture.

Tilt – up from picture
Kevin stands between the coffie table and the couch. He grabs a half-used cigarette from the ashtray on the coffee table, lights it, and takes a puff. Exhausted, Kevin collapses dejectedly on the couch. His head slumps back at an uncomfortable looking angle. He is content.
