My Script

 Scene 1

Fade in transition. 

Dark lighting. (tilt from ceiling to high angle) 

Avery is writing in her diary (Close up). 

The time is shown for a second on the screen. 

Voiceover of what she is writing: "Dear Diary, Today was weird, I've had this gut feeling all day that something bad is going to happen. I hope it's just in my head..."

 Over the shoulder (low angle)  shot of the killer walking with a knife (sound of feet walking) behind Avery. (dressed in dark clothing with a hood to hide head)

A suspenseful score is played with the voiceover. 

Avery looks back to see the killer her as soon as she says "head". (shocked face)  

The killer continues to stab Avery. Another transition fade.

Scene 2

The time is shown again representing an hour has passed. 

An establishing shot of Blair (Avery's sister) walking into frame with headphones playing an upbeat song, knocking then opening the door, while taking out headphones and the music stops, to Avery's room when there's no response, to find her dead sister.

Suspenseful score in the background. 

Blair screams, everyone in the house rallys up to see what happens, they all look inside and act surprised.

Avery's mom, Eve, calls 911 (medium shot). 

The sound of the phone call is echoed and the title scene dissolves in.

Scene 3

Still on the title scene, a sound of a knock takes place. 

Jump cut to a shot of the door and Miles (Avery's dad) opens the door. 

Detective Yeager is spotted and introduces himself, "Hi I am detective Yeager and I've been assigned your daughter's murder case. 

Quick shot of the detective and investigators taking data from the crime scene. Flash photography sound.

Another fade to all of the suspects lined up with Detective Yeager walking past them, a close up of their faces along with their title names. 

As the close ups take place Detective Yeager says, "As I was investigating the crime scene we found a foot print to a converse however this isn’t any normal converse it’s one of the rare releases, I believe my team will be able to track down where in the area it was purchased. This will be my first attempt at finding the killer " 

Then he proceeds to say, "Don’t worry this case will be solved" Shot reverse shot of Adam (Avery's brother) looking at the Detective, and the detective walking back and forth (Pan). 

Ending shot (long shot) of the detective holding up the bag that the murder weapon is in and he says "But before I go, anyone want to tell me what they know what they know" 

Then individual shots of everyone’s nervous faces

Then a jump cut to a black screen and a loud "DUN" sound.

Last Minute Filming

Image
 Today I filmed some extra stuff for the film and some things I just forgot to film. I forgot to film the part where Avery's mother, father, and brother run to the scream that they heard. So, I filmed that. Also, I forgot to film the bit where Avery's mom calls 911. So I filmed that with a close up of her calling. Previously when I was editing I noticed my film was running short. To fix this, I filmed a part where Avery's dad shakes hands with the detective. I think I will end the film with that clip. Another way to fix this is I filmed a part where Avery walks and sits down at her desk and starts writing. Hopefully this will make my film the right size. The filming process was fairly easy. I had to make sure the set was the same. To do this I cleaned the room we filmed in. It was, however, a struggle to get my actors together. Whenever Sebastian wasn't busy Izzy was. And vice versa. I had to create a group chat so they they could situate when they were both not busy. T...

Thriller for the Win

 My decision for my film is to be thriller based. Even though it's not my favorite type of movie to watch, I think it would be fun to film. My pitch is also a type to be thriller because it is a murder mystery. I didn't want it to be a comedy because I don't think I could come up with a funny script. It also wouldn't be good as a romance because someone got murdered, not engaged. I am excited to make my thriller movie. I don't think I will take the route where its super scary though. I think I am just going to make is ominous and keep the audience on their toes. I already know I am going to incorporate screaming. I am also thinking of making the lighting dark when the detective is interrogating the suspects. I also have the perfect setting for it to take place, my boyfriends house. His house is very open and has many rooms for the suspects to have alibis. Thriller involves many different shots and types of editing so I think it will be easy to complete the mandatory...

 Hi, my name is Ariel Pickholtz. I am 16 years old, and I am a junior at Fort Lauderdale High School. I love to go thrifting, hanging out at the beach, and spending time with my friends and family in my freetime. I also love doing photography and videography. I have a cat that lays next to me everytime I do homework on my bed. I also enjoy playing tennis and watching football games. One film I can really appreciate is Avatar because it is so ahead of its time and it's very interesting. I also love the movie Rio for their amazing soundtrack. I decided to take AICE media studies because I like films and I wanted to see everything that goes into them. I wanted to learn why directors make certain choices when putting together the film and what certain cuts and angles are supposed to make the viewer feel.  I also heard that the teachers were very good at teaching the subject. I am excited to learn everything about the filming process as well as make my own films. I'm excited to wor...
