BSA204 W3 : Emu Script

I started writing a quick treatment/half script thing for what the
opening scene of that Emu film might be, here's what i came up with:

FADE IN:

EXT. 

A girl is sitting by the corn field, the sun is low and she's 
driving toy cars up and down the slow rise and fall of the belly of 
an old hound.

THE DAD IS YELLING FOR HIS SON, A YOUNGER SHEEP DOG RUNS OUT OF THE FIELD 
AND GREETS HIM, HE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS DOG WAS WITH HIS SON AND ASKS IT
WHERE HIS SON IS NOW

HE GOES OVER TO HIS DAUGHTER AND ASK HER, HE WAS INSIDE THE CORN FIELD,
HE DIDN'T COME OUT

THE DAD GOES LOOKING, THE YOUNG DOG ACCOMPANIES HIM

The girl keeps playing idly, one of her toy cars crash into the other, 
suddenly the dog sits up, it's ears pricked.

The girl stops playing

The dad is moving through the field calling the boy's name, 
it's time to come in he says, he looks tired. He tells the dog to find the boy,
it is of no help to him

He hears something moving among the stems and turns around, he asks the 
boy's name

The girl is looking intently at the field, the camera is slowly zooming in on
her and where she's looking, there's an eerie opening in the corn stems, it's
completely dark in there.

She doesn't move, just stares at the void

Two silver shapes appear floating in the void, they look like eyes, the girl
afraid to move says dad, voice stuck in her throat

SUDDENLY the dog jumps up and starts barking, she screams and yells DAD!



Tried to go for a horror thing, I think it works well. Feels like Signs 
to me.
