Question from thriller script analysis




Is it the same as the script?
The script has an extra bit of script added on to it what is before the bar scene. This part of the script is not in the actual film. The original bit of the script what is not in the film would not have been a good idea as you would not have got the plot of the film.

Any changes?
Yes there has been many things that has been changed as there was the whole seen where “Jerry” checked in to a hotel what is not in the film.


Does the script portray what you expect to see in the film?
I think it does as you find out immediately what the characters are about for e.g. jerry you quickly find out that he is a nervous average Joe. Then you have the two other guys what are very shady.


What is their name?
The first part of the film is rather slow and it slowly reveals the main characters names.
The names are jerry that is the average Joe and is looking for help with this problem he has. Then you have Carl who you would say is antagonist but it is not clear at this stage of the film and then you have Grimsruid who is Carl’s accomplish what is the quite one.

.What types of words describe this person?

Jerry
Weak
Nervous
Apologetic
Lack in confidents
Vocal tick
What you would say is an average Joe

Carl
Smart
Quick
Witty
Likes to take chances

Grimsruid
Quite
The muscle of the pair
Can you tell from this sequence the role of this character? i.e are they a protagonist/Antagonist?
It is to early in the film to know what the characters roles are but you would think that Carl and Grimsruid are the antagonists and Jerry I don’t know at this point.


How do you know this?
You don’t really know what the characters are at this point but Carl and Grimsuid would probably be antagonists as they are being hired to kidnap someone. Then Jerry you could also say is an antagonist as he wants his wife to be kidnapped
