Research Blog Post #6 (Script Writing)

Script Writing Research:

Before I even started writing, I knew I had to do my homework. I've spent hours researching the thriller genre and studying classics like Psycho and Silence of the Lambs to find out what makes it so compelling. I analyzed everything that makes a good trailer compelling, including pacing, dialogue, and character development.

I also explored examples of mystical symbols and urban legends and were inspired by the disturbing stories that lie beneath the surface of everyday life. This research added depth and credibility to the story, allowing it to feel realistic even when the tension was high.

Script Development:

After doing the research, we started writing the opening script for the film. We started by sketching out important plot points and character arcs and planned a development that would keep viewers guessing until the end.

From there, we dig into dialogue and scene descriptions, refining every word to make sure the plot moves with the story. We quickly focused on the pace and tension in the opening scenes to keep the audience engaged from the start.

During the writing process, we constantly revisited our research and used it to add depth and credibility to the script. We wanted every detail, from the staging to the symbolism of mystical symbols, to be rich and immersive, drawing the audience deeper into the story at every moment.
