Script for Thriller Film Opening

• Rose, if you can hear this, if you’re out there listening, please let me know you’re safe.
• We miss you rose
• It’s been over 3 days
• I just want my daughter back
• Dylan just wants his big sister back
• I feel sure Rose is alive I am so connected with her
• If you know anything on Rose’s disappearance please think of this torn apart family
• Rose, come home
• I will never give up Rose, she knows that
• As a family we just want to be whole again
• Rose can you hear this?
• We miss you, we all miss you
• This is the first time you’ve ever done anything like this, we don’t know why, but we love you so much rose.
• Please Rose, come home.
  

 

For the course of the script there will be brief pauses in between each phrase of speech, this will both lengthen the amount of speech within as well as leave an eerie feel for those listening.

My idea for the script came from real life events in today’s society, the speaker will be Roses Mum, as she pleas out to her missing child for her to come home. The voice will be a grown woman’s and will break in each sentence to show her true pain and loss, this will give off the realism of the film as we hear the devastation in her voice.

I chose to use short sentences overall as I feel this will be more effective and create a lot of tension, I intend to make it sound like it’s being aired on a radio because in cases like this we do see this type of convention.

The speech will play as a voice over throughout the opening; this keeps identities of the main protagonist’s hidden, which again evokes a suspenseful response from the viewers.
