Hand Over the Bunny

Hand Over the Bunny

Please keep in mind this is the first script I’ve written for a film short. I am not sure if the script is written in the proper format. Also, I apologize for the artwork.

Shot 1:

The camera (full shot) is facing a person who is sitting at a table. The room is mostly barren except for the table, the chair, and the person in the chair. There is an overhead light that is shining brightly on the person. On the table is a chessboard, which is also brightly lit by the one light. There are a few pieces on the board and a few lying on the table. The sitting player is in agony. Moans and cries are heard. The sitting player periodically reaches down under the table and sobs more.

Shot 2:

The camera (full shot) is now facing the one door to the empty room. The door opens and standing in the doorway is a person dressed in a long overcoat and a very large hat. A very bright light illuminates the person in the door. The standing person eyes the sitting chess player and then eyes the chessboard.

Shot 3:

The camera is now overhead and it is a wide shot. The sitting chess player is still moaning and reaching down under the table. “It’s your move,” states the sitting player.

“Good,” states the standing person. “Knight to King to Bishop seven. Checkmate.”

Shot 4:

Still a wide shot of both players. The sitting player cries out loud.

“Now hand over the bunny,” demands the standing player. The sitting player bends down and picks up something furry from under the table. It is a small white rabbit. The sitting player hands the rabbit to the standing player. There are loud sobs coming from the sitting player.

Shot 5:

Still a wide shot of both players. The standing player takes the rabbit and walks out of the room. The door slams.

Shot 6:

There is now a close up shot of the sitting player. The sitting player’s head is on the chessboard. Louds sobs are heard.
