opening script for The Pursuit (DRAFT)

opening script for The Pursuit (DRAFT)
Opening scene: A long shot of a winter location which then cuts to a close up of a pair of eyes (Alex Turner) then to a shot of another pair of eyes (Martin Smith) A black screen appears with film credits “Action film of the year, by far up there with the best…)


Scene 2: Alex and Martin appear to enter a room (Match on action) Where Alex is betrayed by Martin. A mid shot of the room filled with bad guys and a gun to Alex’s back.


Alex “Why”…


Black out and a close up of Alex’s beaten face. Then a long shot to establish a different location of Martin with a gun to a girl whose face is covered and Alex a fair distance away.


Cut again to the release date of the film.


A mid shot is then used to show Alex is bed you can see an empty place beside him. It then jumps to a close up of his face. He notices the empty space. Where is his girlfriend?


Scene 3: A close up of Alex driving a car speeding past trees to a black out with director titles and to a close up of a girl with her face covered.


Like most action films our trailer will be mainly shots of scenes rather than speech as a cliche of an action genre are explosions and many of them. In most action films their trailer consists of a collage of shots that are not necessarly in time order but make the film seem more appealing backed up by highly paced music. In our trailer we aim to do the same, we onlt have 2 minutes so we want those 2 minutes to be exciting.
