Scrrenplay for "Sex, Money, Murder"

OVER BLACK
We hear dramatic music (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tYhrPeHmY0), We start the track at 37 seconds as this part is fading in  so will work well with the fade in of the titles and credits.  It also gives enough time for the music  to pick up at 48 seconds and add more atmosphere to the start.

This music is suitable for our opening as we are following conventions and challenging them too, so in this piece the beat drops and changes from orchestral to a modern style beat. We want the film to make the audience feel anxious and hooked from the start, also so they can easily see the twist on the conventions (of which we did) that are associated with the gangster genre. This helps represent what we want the audience to feel as we are adding a new twist to a respected genre.

BLACK FRAME
TITLE APPEARS WHITE TEXT (FADES IN)

SEX, MONEY, MURDER
TITLE FADES OUT

STAYS ON BLACK
music fades out... we hear crackling radio tune in to news broadcast

BLACK AND WHITE ECU of radio speaker, REVERSE CREEP picture fades from BLACK AND WHITE in to COLOUR 

the broadcast starts

REPORTERS VOICE (O.S)
breaking news; this is a police announcement
for warning of our listeners this broadcast is not suitable for children.
today at 1 am a woman was seen leaving a local bar, gun in hand, walking towards a green motor car on which she entered and left the scene hastily. We discovered two bodies in a ditch at the location in which she was spotted, we  believe she is linked to these two murders if not the perpetrator of the crime. 
we believe she is very dangerous and has been seen on many occasions with Vendilini  and is his supposed lover. she has often been seen luring men into random houses and apartment but leaving alone, it is thought that she sleeps with her victims before she murders them, she is on the run so If seen do not approa...

hear doorbell ring
ECU of hand turning off radio


SILENT SLOW MO FLASHES OF MARIA AND VENDILINI WALKING UPSTAIRS AND INTO ROOM, CLOSING DOOR BEHIND THEM.

Maria (the soon to be seductive killer of many notorious gangster) will be wearing long black evening wear to seem very seductive to make it easier to attract her targets, which can easily conceal a small weapon.
Vendilini will be wearing an tucked shirt unbuttoned with no tie and trousers as he has just finished work and was going to his "partner's" house to relieve stress. 

FREEZE FRAME OF DOOR

Maria emerges, hair ruffled and make up smudged blood on hands.
(reverse shot though ajar Door) Maria looks in mirror and retouches make up.

hear knock at door

CUTS TO;
Maria answers front door to another man, she smiles seductively and looks into his eyes, they then kiss passionately.

This makes it obvious that the person at the door is the second lover and creates a twist in the story and keeps the audience hooked.

we have a moving shot moving from the kissing pair up through the floor and then through to Vendilini upstairs.

CU of VENDILINI BREATHING HEAVILY
CUTS TO;


FADES TO BLACK AND CREDITS ROLE IN WHITE TEXT, TITLE RE APPEARS
