Script Analysis: The Alleyway

The film starts with a couple walking down the street, and they get mugged. The boyfriend is stabbed and the woman runs away, which is dramatic because they were just enjoying some fresh air when this tragic event suddenly popped up. This is a "terrific scene" because it's why the killer goes after her in the first place and why she's so terrified throughout the film. The "memorable scene" ending the film is the killer getting what he wants, and the girl getting what she doesn't deserve. The main character (Rachel) is in a terrified position where she didn't know what she was getting into by going out with the guy (Miles) or opening the door to the killer. The main character (Rachel) is introduced as a survivor, but one that isn't finished with her troubles yet. The audience discovers that the killer is going after her when she sees a suspicious car she has never seen across the street with a man in it looking at her. I think I can keep things to a minimum by getting rid of unnecessary dialogue and making sure the plot doesn't drag on. I can try to keep all the things that are necessary for understanding and moving the story along.
