Script

 To be able to convey the plot and backstory subtly, a script will help. I started making a short script that is around 45 seconds. A lot of the scenes will have heavy emotions, but not many words, therefore I kept it short for now. 

The cursing shows how infuriated the father really is and in turn, the weight of his words reflect on his daughters emotions. I tried to keep the swearing to a limit because then it becomes really vulgar, but when I tried to eliminate it all together it felt as something was missing. This is the script I will be using, minor changes might be made later on throughout the production process... 

Script: 

Father- “Omfg! You're so lazy, what have you even done all day? All you ever do is lay on the couch.  

Daughter- Calm down, I just got home from work- (pause) have u been drinking?? 

Father- NO BITCH! * 

Daughter- (crying)

Father- AND YOU STILL HAVEN'T GOTTEN THAT TATTOO REMOVED? I CAN'T BELIVE YOU WOULD EVER EVEN GET ONE IN THE FIRST PLACE WITHOUT MY PERMISSION. (yelling) 

Daughter- Dad! I told u I didn’t get this- (cut off) 

Father- STOP LYING TO ME. (yelling)

Father- Enough.  

Daughter- (bawling)

-Scene ends, daughter runs to her room

-Time skip, killer has hacked into cameras


Killer- Lets see if I've done well...


*Hits daughter

The names of the characters are still being decided, but I'm going to keep them basic. The actions and pauses help accentuate the scenes and are really important. With the script down, I can start visualizing and storyboarding my scenes as a planification for the beginning of production next week.
