For this next task we were given only a very brief amount of information on what the scene had to include which is causing problems for me because i have no idea about what i am going to do...
There's no reason why you can't use the Prisoner script again, if you want. Remember - you don't need to spend forever working on a complex narrative; at the end of the day, it just needs to be as simple as someone opening a door, walking across a room and having a brief conversation. I would be looking at about 10 shots at the most basic. It could be as simple as:
EXT.House (ES). Front door (LS). MAN approaches door (enters LS). Takes out key. Puts it in the lock (CU) and turns. Puts hand on door handle (CU). Turns and opens door (LS).
INT. House (LS, Reverse angle). Front door opens. Man enters. Closes door (CU). Walks down hall (Over the Shoulder). Enters kitchen (LS). Crosses to table. WOMAN is sitting at table. MAN and WOMAN face each other (LS, 2shot).
MAN. (CU, OTS woman) So, you're back WOMAN. (CU, OTS man) Obviously MAN. (CU, OTS woman) I didn't expect you WOMAN. (CU, OTS man) No reason why you should
MAN and WOMAN face each other (LS, 2shot).
MAN. (CU, OTS woman) So... WOMAN. (CU, OTS man) Yes? MAN. (CU, OTS woman - pause) We need to talk. WOMAN. (CU, OTS man - pause) Yes.
