‘Predator’ is a mystery thriller with just one scene. But the conversation between the characters and detective Mark on the phone can make you feel like you’re in the middle of it, and it can stimulate your nerves and emotions and make you feel scared.
The story is about a detective Mark, who is approaching the tenth anniversary of his father’s death. He took over a case, the case is not so simple on the surface, with the existing clues step by step to explore the unknown truth. The bad man turned out to be connected to the Predator gang that killed his father, making him even more determined to bring the gang to justice.
The script was written in accordance with the rules of a micro-budget film, and AT first I just wanted to design a simple theft case. A detective went to investigate the disappearance of a rich man’s money in the bank. Later, under Tim’s guidance, I found my script lacked tension and suspense, so I added some stakes. The script turns into a man who is in a hurry to save people with money and finds that his bank card has no money when he withdraws money. The person who stole the money was forced to do bad things for some reason, and finally after the step-by-step exploration of mark, the real bad guy was finally brought to justice and got a useful information. Also, I hire professionals in order to have enough money. My script has only one scene, and that is Mark’s office. And through sound effects, background music, detective mark’s expressions and body language to create atmosphere, let the audience have more room for imagination.
It was my first exposure to film scripts, and it was a very meaningful experience. This studio let me know the general process of the whole film production and what conditions need to be met. Try to think like a filmmaker and overcome challenges. How to create more interesting and meaningful scripts within budget constraints. Learning this kind of knowledge has given me a further understanding of the film industry.
