Hi everyone. I have a few questions regarding my first screenplay. I'm having trouble writing
an entertaining interrogation scene and having the script come full circle. As of right now I am using flashbacks
but I'm not sure if I want to go that way. I'm not much of a
mystery writer but I wanted to try something different for a film project.
Keep in mind that I don't really have any type of budget
and that I want to be able to make this short under 10 minutes.
Sorry in advance if this post is kinda all over the place.
Here i had two screen shots of my screenplay to give you all some of the background information.
So I gave the killer, Edwards, what I feel as a strong background and in the story
I want the moment he kills Bell as a release of his angers. Thus, a serial killer is born.
I want to have his past with women come full circle as he realizes a way from him to vent his anger, murder.
Now, I am unsure of how to do this in my script. So please any thoughts would be very helpful.
Also, does a mystery short need an interrogation scene? Is there a more interesting way to give
all the same information without having to have your characters sit around a table? I can't think of any
other way to do it but I'd like a way to show it more visibly than verbally. But I feel as that might be a better way to do it.
I'm also having trouble with clues. I have Edwards rip a bracelet off of Bell's wrist to keep as a memento and as a visual clue
as to Edwards has crossed the path to becoming a serial killer but that's about it.
I feel as I am getting stuck with this screenplay. I have written out a interrogation scene in it but it is not good
enough for me to want to be able to move forward with it. So any helpful advice, tips, constructive criticism is very appreciated.
