Production: Script/Screenplay
My script doesn't have much dialogue whatsoever. It actually only has two lines where the characters speak. The point of the lack of speech in the script is to create a sense of mystery and suspense. I want whoever is watching to be confused as to what's happening. This will have them wondering what this suspicious character is about to do. I will copy and paste my script here so that you can read it.
INT. CHARACTER 1'S HOUSE - LIVING ROOM - DUSK
To establish the scene, Character 1 is seen setting up the Christmas tree.
EXT. CHARACTER 1'S HOUSE - ACROSS THE STREET - DUSK
Character 2 stands menacingly outside Character 1's house, with the objective to enter.
EXT. CHARACTER 1'S HOUSE - THE BACKYARD - DUSK
Character 2 decides to enter through the back where they will not be seen. They jump the fence, their identity remaining obscured
INT. CHARACTER 1'S HOUSE - KITCHEN/DINING ROOM - DUSK
Character 1 is seen preparing something in the kitchen, seemingly unaware of the intruder that entered. Character 2 sneaks/ makes their way into the kitchen. Suspense is built, as the audience thinks something bad is about to happen
Character 2 enters kitchen and grabs Character 1 by the shoulder, startling them
CHARACTER 2
Hey, sorry I'm late
CHARACTER 1
Oh it's okay, can you grab the flour?
CHARACTER 2
Yeah sure, no problem
Both characters proceed to prepare food
(End)
As you can see here, it's a very short script. Even for a video that's going to be about 1-2 minutes long, this is still really short.
