Eyes of Freedom Script

Here is the actual script that I will be using….

INT. LARGE MAN’S HOME NIGHT

They get inside and the Man quickly closes and bolts the door. The Man hurries them towards a basement door. (Guards now at the door)

They pass a room where there is a LITTLE GIRL. Girl stand and watch in shock.

The boy makes eye contact with the girl and both of their eyes ignite, his emerald green, hers ocean blue (slow).

Father has to pull the boy along to break the gaze. They continue to follow the Man through the basement door down the steps.

INT. MAN’S BASEMENT NIGHT

In stride the man takes pulls a huge hammer that he had strapped to his back and shatters a brick wall which exposes a hole. Man motions them to go though, hear the door upstairs explode and the screams of the girl.

Father, who seems to be deteriorating, picks up his son with his one good arm, runs through the hole. Man slams the hammer above the hole and it collapses.

Man turns to run upstairs. Father turns in toward the small light at the end of the tunnel.

EXT. OUTSIDE WALLS DAWN

Father, looking haggard, carrying son exits the tunnel walks to the edge of the large hill, which the city is located on, where the wind is howling and places his son on the ground. Son immediately grabs this father’s hand father gives his a genuine but faint smile.

Both look out at the snowcapped mountains then at each other and the son takes a timid step forward, his red scarf blowing in the wind. Father falls to his knees, arms outstretched.

FADE TO BLACK

I cut it down and revised it a bit to remove the Guards and Mother to lighten the work load

An example of the flash format that I’ll be doing…

I’ll be designing the layout of the comic to give it a dramatic edge but I can’t figure that stuff out until I get the shots laid out and such. I’ll have to look at existing comic books to get the feel that I’ll be going for, Jen do you have any in mind?

I deff. like the concept with the page being dragged over to see the next page. It gives it more of a magazine or a really comic book in your hand. As for styles I'll see what I have I believe I might have some good examples for you. I'll bring them in for you to check them out.
I'll bring them to class tonight but if you're not there I'll bring them during tomorrows class. Also check out the library's collection they now have a great selection of comic books that were donated by the K.M.A.C. They're for everyone to use ^_^

Here are some links to scanned in mangas and comic books of different styles.
With the mangas though however to get the full effect look at the right panel first and then to the left so its opposite from a regular comic book cause they read backwards. (most of these mangas and comics I'm showing you I own so if you want to see it in your hands better than online just ask me :)
