Hey! Finished writing the script for Detective Angelo! Writing really allowed me to get ideas flowing and look at everything in my head, especially on how I want to film. I did a little storyboarding in the script, here and there, but it's not for sure that I'll be using those techniques, when filming. Here it is:
Angelo Opening Script
A detective named Angelo is sitting on his desk. He’s stressed. He’s trying to figure out who this notorious serial killer could be.
A master shot of detective Angelo, sitting at his desk. The camera is behind him. The camera pushes in on him, slowly.
Camera focuses on his desk, which move horizontally to show stacks of paper.
Angelo: There’s no way....if he was there before 8:51 pm...how did he have time to go the gas station and get the equipment?
Various insert shots take place of the papers on desk, which are clues and evidence.
Angelo: No, no...that can’t be it.... (pulls his hair) (Medium close-up, from the side)
A close-up of detective Angelo’s eyes.
Insert shots of his wall are also shown, he has maps on his wall showing the location of where the serial killer murdered his victims.
Angelo: No, no, no....that can’t be it either. Ugh. I’m never going to find this guy. (throws papers off his desk, aggressively.)
A photo frame drops. Angelo picks it up from the floor, carefully. Dusts it off. He places it back on his desk. He stares at it, sentimentally.
His partner walks through the door, abruptly.
Julia: Boss, we got’em, the goon, we got em!
Angelo: (stands up from his desk) What?! (pause) What do you mean?
Julia: Busted taillight, off 169th. the fuzz recognized him as soon as he rolled the window down.
Angelo: Impossible...he’s not stupid enough to get caught...especially because of a busted taillight. (pauses to think) It must be a mistake. It can’t be him.
Julia: (shrugs) I don’t know, boss. They have him in questioning now. They sent me here to let you know. They know how important this case is to you. You’ve been trying to catch this guy for the past 5 years. Especially since... you know...
Angelo: Yes, I know... (he turns back and looks at the photo frame, picks it up)
Julia: (hesitantly) You miss her, boss?
Angelo: (looks up, smiles melancholically, while looking at the picture frame) Yes...I do. Every day, actually. (looks up at Julia) Well, enough of that. Let’s get going. Time to interview a killer. (smiles)
Angelo picks up and puts on his fedora hat. He follows Julia out the door.
