First Draft of the Official Script

 I completed the first official draft of the script for the movie opening. When rereading the draft of the opening scene, we decided to add more context in the opening. The woman (Chantal) is standing in the lobby of her job, talking on the phone, something important about a 'deal' being made, (this provides a clue to the possible motive of the antagonist). From here, she walks out of the building and the rest of the scene stays the same as before. 

First page of the script

From the very beginning, we want to establish Chantal as a successful business woman. She should be dressed professionally and look like an important person. For the kidnapping, it is more implied than shown, her successfulness shows why someone would want her to disappear. We also want to make the other woman seem ordinary and 'lesser' compared to Chantal. Showing no obvious reason as to why she was kidnapped.

I wanted to put the title after the kidnapping as a way to transition into the next scene. With the crescendo of police sirens then the immediate silence following, it should emphasize the importance of the kidnappings. 

We have not completely finalized the ending, it still needs dialogue. I am not too sure about how this is going to run time-wise. I think that it will hit two complete minutes. I would rather write a little bit more in the script than have too little. This way we can prevent the problem of having to go back and add filler parts instead of quality footage. If I write a little bit extra, we can always just cut it off where it is.
