The initial script

Before we started the script for the actual opening scene, we needed a script for the News Report that we were producing first, as the whole film starts with a local news report. We had to make this realistic, and as if they were actually watching in on television.

News Report Script
First News Reporter: "Late last night, the Mansfield Library was broken into and burnt to the  ground".
Second News Reporter : "No casualties were reported, and police are looking for witnesses, so if anybody was near the library at around 1am this morning, please report to the police".

We made the news report reasonably short, and this was to make sure that the audience did not loose interest, and it made it so much easier to get the main points across, and helped us to foreshadow later events.

Opening Scene Scrip:
Claire: "Have you finished bringing in them boxes yet?"

Ryan: "Not yet, I'll do it in a minute".

Claire: (Drops bag, groans, and then storms into the front room) "Get off your ass and get them boxes done".

Ryan: "b..butt". (He stutters as if he is scared of his wife)

Claire: "NOW!". (She shouts instantly after Ryan stutters)

Ryan: (He walks out of the room and spots a book) "Hey Claire, do you know what this book is?"

Claire: "It probably fell out of one of the boxes or something.... put it in that box over there". (She then walks over to the mirror on the wall, and has a quick glance in it, but she See's a strange figure) "Ahhhhhh!" (She screams, but then turns around to see that nothing is there).

We tried our best to make the script sounds realistic, and to try and link it into the Horror genre as much as we could.
