I need help starting a opening scene for a screenplay?
My friends and I are working on a Horror Anthology script which we plan to shoot in the beginning of summer for an entry in a film festival…We have the stories finalized we have characters the only problem is how to tie it up together. We could go somewhere as a ’50’s comic book ala Creepshow or have a narrator ala Night Gallery or just intertwine them all ala Trick r Treat. Great films by the way but I rather keep it original or mesh those particular films into one? I don’t know I am caught on the fence here if you have a truly original concept how to bring a horror anthology stories together PLEASE let me know! I’ll include you in a very special thanks with the project
Have a narrator, a la, "Tales From The Crypt" but make her a sweet old granny and call the movie, "Grandma’s Feather Bed".
Opening Scene:
Int. Large bedroom. Corner of bed visible.
SFX: "Grandma’s Feather Bed" plays in the background.
Grandma is seen hobbling into the room.
Zoom to Grandma, close-up.
GRANDMA:
Hello, babies! You do like Grandma’s feather bed, don’t you?
(Laughs evilly)
But have you thought of what’s UNDER Grandma’s feather bed?
(Cackles as the camera pans and then zooms under the bed. Transition to black, then fade up to first scene of first story)
You can then use Grandma as the transition between stories. Perhaps Grandma can even give a hint of each story before the pan and zoom under the bed.
