Script
Before attempting to write our own script, I've looked at the bbc script website and I'vechosen a script to annotate, identify techniques used and how we could incorporate this into our script to make our opening sequence effective/match the audience expectations of our genre.
EXT. ROADSIDE OPS 2 - DAY 4, 0900 1
We track along a road to discover NICK, near a T junction, on
his belt buckle, brushing dirt off an IED. We see orange wire.
NICK
(To himself:)
What the...?
He gets up and steps away from the device.
NICK (cont’d)
(On radio:)
Well, I haven’t seen a device this
clever since Iraq. Ever had the
feeling someone’s trying to kill you?
GORDON
(On radio:)
Well I’ve been to watch Leeds United
away at Old Trafford, so, yeah.
NICK
(On radio:)
Helpful. Anyway, grab an evidence bag, we're taking this one home.
