Due to our switch of location, Kevin had to update the script for us to go by. I did have the shots that we were going to use in the film opening, in the script, however we removed since we switched locations and we may use different cinematographic elements. Here is the script:
Summary: A hacker and a detective are sent into a simulation because it has been hacked by an outside party and the people who own it are not happy about it.
Cut to a man (Detective played by Fares) sitting at a computer, he appears busy. (Chiaroscuro is used)
Inner Monologue from Detective: “Precision simulation hired me to investigate who hacked into their simulation and bring them to justice. Ever since the first attack, it has been glitching – time will move erratically, you will be in a place you don’t remember going to. On the bright side, after this job, I’ll quit: I may be young but I’ve put in too many hours to keep working this dead-end job. My partner for this job is a felon and a hacker and once we’re done with this job, Precision promised to wipe his slate clean. He seems like the kind of guy that is too ‘goody two shoes’ to even commit tax fraud, but I was shocked when I heard that he …” (Cut off by Hacker speaking)
Sound of billards being hit by cue ball
Frame pans to show Hacker (played by Kevin) at pool table
D: “Could you keep it down, I’m trying to concentrate.
H: “My bad man. Hey, can I put some color back in this world; all this black and white is making me depressed?”
D: “Sure, whatever.”
H: “And then I said, let there be color!”
Chiaroscuro gone in next cut; color present
H: “There, much better. Now, did you find any information on our culprit?”
D: “Well, we know that they’re good at altering this simulation, so they must be good with computers.”
H: “Way to go, Sherlock, I mean do we have a witness or, better yet, a name?”
D: “We do have a name: Bostrom. That’s all we have though: no face, no age, and no location.”
Cut to another establishing shot; D and H are in the same position, but at place
D (as he is getting in the car): “They may be on to us, let’s get out of here.”
Title card appears with sound of the door shutting.
So as you can see, the setting of the script changed and the detectives actions before the hacker comes into the frame. So some minor and major adjustments had to be made due to relocating.
