This is the script for our opening sequence; it is mainly stage directions for the actors as we didn’t want to include much dialogue in our opening sequence to add to the suspense. However as mentioned in past posts this is a factor of our opening that we will try out and decide if it works when we come to edit. I have still included them in the script.
