FADE IN

ON A RINGING TELEPHONE.

A hand reaches for it, bringing the receiver up to the face of
CASEY BECKER, a young girl, no more than sixteen.  A friendly face
with innocent eyes.

                CASEY
        Hello.

                MAN'S VOICE
            (from phone)
        Hello.

Silence.

                CASEY
        Yes.

                MAN
        Who is this?

                CASEY
        Who are you trying to reach?

                MAN
        What number is this?

                CASEY
        What number are you trying to reach?

                MAN
        I don't know.

                CASEY
        I think you have the wrong number.

                MAN
        Do I?

                CASEY
        It happens. Take it easy.

CLICK! She hangs up the phone and walks away.

The phone RINGS again.

Casey grabs the phone again.

                CASEY
        Hello.

                MAN
        I'm sorry. I guess I dialed the wrong number.

                CASEY
        So why did you dial it again?

                MAN
        To apologize.

                CASEY
        You're forgiven. Bye now.

                MAN
        Wait, wait, don't hang up.

Casey stands in front of a sliding glass door.  It's pitch black
outside.

                CASEY
        What?

                MAN
        I want to talk to you for a second.

                CASEY
        They've got 900 numbers for that. Seeya.

CLICK!  Casey hangs up.  A grin on her face.

Original Scream Scene
My reaction of the scene
100 Word Explanation:
My recreation has a similar setting to the original since it also has a glass door where it is pitch black outside which is used to build tension and gives enigma codes to the audience. In addition, I used a prop of an older phone which is similar to the original. I also tried to keep the placement of the actress the same as in the scene she is mostly in the centre of the frame and I stuck to the script so they match. The costumes are also somewhat similar as I wore a white hoodie which is reminiscent of her white jumper.

      Blade Runner: -  Colour/ lighting  is dark next to  antagonist  and light next to  protagonist  ( binary oppositions ). -  Close up  shot for  facial expression  conveys a stern expression which shows the  action genre. -  Target audience  is adults. -  High angle   to show futuristic city ( setting )illustrating the  sci-fi genre -  Action codes  and  enigma codes  are shown with the hero holding a gun ( prop ) which poses questions for the audience. Scary Movie 2: - Target audience is teenagers/young adults and low brow. - Exaggerated conventions like the facial expressions portray that the movie is a  comedy/ horror that serves to parody other horror movies. - Red colour for title connotes to blood conveying the horror genre . - Tagline has repetition. - The characters' shirts have references to other horror movies which is intertextuality there...

The costumes are superhero outfits which illustrates that this falls in the action and/or sci-fi genre. The lighting is mostly low-key apart from the main blast of high-key light which is used to portray the strength of both characters. The actors are places mostly central on the screen and each are posed to make the shot look mostly symmetrical and this framing of them to both be equal conveys that they are similar although being on opposing sides of the fight. The setting is a disheveled/ broken down building and it is in the foreground of this long- shot whilst the main action is in the mid-ground of the scene which shows the setting to be almost enclosing and trapping them in whilst they fight possibly suggesting a negative mental state during the fight. Barbarian Clip   (Horror/Thriller) Lord of the Rings Clip   (Fantasy) Each clip had different coloured lighting the horror movie was more washed out and had cooler toned lighting which represents the more bleak and fr...
