This is a video clip of the movie: Running Scared, this is the opening scene and it uses audio and sound design extremely well.
Script Format:
FADE IN
INT. APARTMENT BUILDING- DAY
The camera zooms out from a building, showing two men counting money. The sound of money rustling is heard. In the background a police siren is heard.
INSERT PHRASE: 18 Hours Earlier.
Camera pans across the room where 4 men are holding guns. One man is counting money.
MAN IN WHITE SUIT
Were good
Camera pans over to a man standing by the door.
Door busts open and 3 men with guns start yelling.
GUY ONE
Nobody fucking move
GUY TWO
Eat the floor fuckers!
GUY ONE
Get on the ground now, you cock suckers
GUY IN WHITE SUIT
Your makin the biggest fuckin mistake
Guy 1 slams gun on Guy in White Suit's head and knocks him to the floor.
GUY ONE
Get down mother fuckers, eat the fucking floor!
Everyone throws their guns across the floor, and the guns all make loud sliding noises.
GUY ONE
Come on let's go, hurry up!
Dark, suspenseful music starts playing, as bad guys start taking money. One guy cuts a bad guys achilles tendon with a knife, guy starts shooting and shoots one guy in the chest.
Full blown shootout starts
Gunfire explodes, shell casings hit the floor, man gets shot in the head, music continues to play.
Scene rewinds, shows Guy in White Suit pull out a gun, scene fast forwards, Guy in White Suit shoots the guy in front of him, shoot out continues.
Shootout ends, right before one of the bad guys dies, he pulls out a badge and it is known that he is a cop.
Everyone runs out, and scene zooms out to all of the dead cop bodies.
The way that this scene is scripted and filmed is one of the most unique moments of film I have ever seen. The way that it uses Time is incredible. The film does this, by using multiple camera angles, and at one point, it show's what is going on from one point of view, then rewinds to the beginning, and shows a man pulling a gun out at the same time in a different point of view. I think that this use of time is very unique because of the way they used speed to rewind and fast forward the clips, as well as raise the volume of the film when stuff started to get intense. Something else they did, was use subjective time, by slowing down the film when the rewind scene started, then speeding it back up when they fast forwarded the scene. This movie also uses Space in a very unique way. Perception, distance, and size are all used a lot in this first scene, as the camera does many effects such as zooming in and out of different frames. Also, the directionality and movement that is used is done in a really well mannered way. It is done by moving the camera's in all different ways to make the movement seem real and make the directionality what the director wants the audience to see.
