Micro Horror Drama - Script

Pre Production

First the group and i started planing what the micro drama was about.  We landed on a over the top horror genre. We did some spider diagrams of what to wear, where to shoot, who should play what role, etc. After knowing a rough draft of what we wanted to to we did a story board (see bellow) as well as a Script (see bellow), We didn't really scout for locations, some of the class mates new good places to shoot.

The script 

EXT.

Dusk, 6 students huddled around bonfire.

Jon - What about you Kristian?

Kristian - Ehh, I think it's kind of obvious... Superman!

Sophie - He is going to take it to the next level. Definitely.

(Short pause everyone looking at the fire)

Sophie - What about you Adel?

Adel - Ohh, I am not going

Sophie - No? Shame... You'll join in the next time then!

(Adel chuckles)

(Everyone stays silent for a moment and eats their marshmallows)

Sophie - Did you guys ever hear the story about the scary Haunted House? In the woods?

Riona and Adel - No

Jon - Where is it?

Sophie - It's ehmm... argh. I can't remember what the town is called but it's in the woods and I think, like, we should go there once because it is so scary.

Jon - Yeah, we should!

Sophie - It's ehmm it's this huge mansion.

Jon - Yeah, but what's the story though?

Sophie - Well I was first going to tell you.

(Everyone laughing, laughing even more, when Sophie drops her marshmallow on the floor)

Sophie - Ok anyway back to the story.

So it is actually this really, really old mansion and ehmm, there used to live these two old people there and ehmm it was really scare cause then this one night in the winter, they ehh, they were at their house and it was so cold that they had to get firewood from the woods. So they just went outside, and they took their car to drive a bit further inside the wood. Basically what happened was that eh, the husband he left his wife in the car and said "I'll be right back" and then he actually never came back and she froze to death in the car. So now the house it's still standing there all by itself and it's all old and it's really...

I don't know it's kind of scary. I went around it last time and it was just so creepy, just the feeling of it and thinking of that story...

(Sophie shivers)

Sophie - Uhh, it actually does give me shivers quite a bit.

(Riona chuckles in the background)

Jon - We should go!

Sophie - We should definitely go to this haunted house!

EXT.

NIGHT, 5 students standing in front of an ominous house.

(Diegetic sound of owl and wind in the trees)

Sophie - Oh my god, this house looks so abandoned

Kristian - It's creepy

Riona - Yeah...

Sophie - It is right? I told you guys it would be.

(Diegetic sound of Bronnie screaming)

Sophie - What happened?

Kristian - The princess is gone!

(Jon evil laugh)

Jon - Hahahahah! You’ll never get your princess back!

Sophie - Here! Take this leaf! It will help you save the princess!

Bronnie - Help me!

Hero - I'll save you!

(Kristian punches John)

Jon - Arghh!

(Kristian helps Bronnie down)

Bronnie - Thank you so much!

(Non-diegetic sound of heroic music in the background)
