Inspiration

My film opening script sees 3/4 girls explaining a horrible story that happened to them, and they each say a line or two each, which then links to what the other girl has to say. Almost as if the girls are finishing each others sentences. I lifted this idea and made it my own from the film '50 first Dates', a comedy starring Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore. The opening sequence of this films sees the girls in a scenario where they have all spent a week with Sandler's character, Henry Roth. They are all telling someone the same story of their time spent with him, and seem to be completing the sentence of the girl in the previous scene. I also gained inspiration in the fact that the main character does not immediately appear in the opening. 

Here is the opening: 

I find this style of scripting and editing effective because it really draws the audience member into the film straight away because they wonder what the characters are talking about, and why they all have it in common despite not knowing each other. 

While there will be some similarities with my piece and this, the style of script and the main character not being shown until the final few seconds, the two will be different. Firstly, the genres are completely opposite, and the context and story line are very different. Secondly, this style was used for a comedic affect, whereas mine will be for more of a horror effect. There are also far more characters in this sequence than there will be in mine, and mine will involve flash backs instead of just dialogue.
