Draft 2

The Executioner Script

Script Evaluation

We have two drafts of the script for The Executioner. We liked the first draft however, we felt it didn't look good enough as it didn't link to the medieval times that well. This was because the woman walking in the scene looked too modern and we wanted to open in an interesting way. We also thought by having the executioner just capture her which results in her screaming was too predictable. Using ideas from the first draft of our script we incorporated those into our new script. In my opinion this script was much better than the first one as it linked more to the medieval times as instead of a woman walking we have three people all dressed in black holding a rope. We kept most of the ideas the same as we thought they worked really well in the script such as the different flashbacks of the executioners childhood. This shows the audience what he's been through and builds up his character for the rest of the film and explains how he got to where he is in the film. We also decided to keep the church the same as that is a main part, as the film is to do with religious traditional things that he has learnt from his past experiences. This plays a big part in why he does the things he does. We chose to have no dialogue in the script as we thought it would break the mysterious atmosphere of the opening sequence. Instead we are going to use music that will fit in with the action and hopefully tell the audience that something is wrong and that its set in medieval times.

Draft 3

This is an updated script for "The Executioner" and fits our storyboard. I think that this script flows continuously rather than having lots splice cuts which take the audience out of the opening, which is much better.
