What do you think of this Short Film Plot/Script ?
This is my first time ive written a script and so im asking you to tell me if its good and maybe give me a few tips.
Keep in mind that we little resources and we are a group of three people.
And also i would like you to tell me some sad songs i could play in the film, i gonna choose Schindler’s List Soundtrack
Film stars with the hearing of the speech Gen. Macarthur gave at the ending of World War 2.
In the first 10 seconds of the speech, the screen is going to be completely black so we could on hear the speech, then we see an American soldier sitting next to a desk, (the desk has a radio, paperwork, books, etc) listening to the speech from the radio.
When the speech end the soldier switches to another channel and sad music starts to play, he then takes a moment to think and then he starts searching for 3 old letters, these letters are from his best friend who has also been a soldier and had been killed during the war, he had sent him these letter before he got killed.
When he finds them he starts reading them, (we were going to zoom on the letters and show some lines from the letters describing the cruelty of war). He then folds them and puts them back. Then he takes another moment to think and looks at a blank paper.
He grabs a pen and the paper a starts to write, shortly after the writing starts, we can hear the soldier narrating what he is writing (he is going to be narrating a poem he wrote for his fellow soldier). When he finishes he angrily throws the paper outside a window.
Then we see the crumbled paper on a thin narrow road all alone. Then we see a man who decides to pick the paper up. (We were going to show only the feet of this person). During all this the narrating of the poem will still go on.
In the next scene we see the soldier next to the desk again signing and filling some paperwork, next to him there is the daily newspaper. While he is doing his paperwork he notices and sees that somehow his poem had gotten on the front page of the newspaper.
Then he grabs, and then the camera is going to scroll down on the poem and view the final lines of the poem. Then the narrating stops exactly when the camera zooms on the end of the poem where it says “anonymous”).

You may like this?
As the froth of nectar
that waters the pond of dreams;
you sputter.
In your embrace
I bloom
as Lilly blossoms.
As snow’s soft flakes,
you melt on my petal cheeks
touching me
not quite.
Memories’ butterfly kisses
turn into love letters
before my interlaced eyelashes
–written amongst
changing cloud patterns
in long forgotten
secret scripts–
And my wishful musings go
Is the rhythm I hear
in honey dew drips
upon my window sill;
the tunes of my love for you?
No its not about sex..i dont have a clear idea about what it is about though

Resident Evil 4: Leon’s Journey
EXT. BULGARIA/FOREST – MORNING
Leon a 27 year old American; brown haired guy layed down in the back seats of the van with his arms crossed and hat pointed down on his head to cover his eyes. Two bulgarian police men sat in the front; one of them driving the car.
POLICE MAN #1
“Why are you here anyway american?”
He looked at Leon through the rear view mirror who took his time to wake up and raised his hat off his eyes.
LEON
“Haven’t you two heard about the president’s missing daughter?”
POLICE MAN #1
“Oh yeah , i believe her name is Ashlee right?”
LEON
“You got it.”
POLICE MAN #2
“Why’d they send you? You don’t look like you can do much.”
LEON
“You’d be dead a long time ago if you did the things i did.”
He saw Police man #2 chuckle and look off to the trail they were driving on.
LEON
“How long till we get there?”
Police Man #1 looked around for a sign and spotted one saying Glondese 5 miles and pointed at it.
POLICE MAN #1
“About 3 minutes”
Leon noticed a beautiful golden ring on his ring finger.
LEON
“You married?”
POLICE MAN #1
“Yeah to a beautiful woman named Synda.”
He looked at his ring as he drove and smiled.
POLICE MAN #1
“Hey American. What kinda things did you do that you were saying Asma here would’nt survive through?”
Leon stayed down for a moment then sat up.
LEON
“Have you two men heard of the destruction of Racoon City?”
The two police men looked at each other in fright knowing something went on there.
ASMA
“Yeah i have, are you saying you were a part of that?”
Leon turned his head to him.
LEON
“Not a part of it, but in it.”
POLICE MAN #1
“We’ve heard stories about that, scary stories. We don’t get scared easily either, but these stories scared us shitless. Wasn’t there an insane asylum that had hundreds of prisoners escape and go on a blood lust killing everything and everyone?”
As they were talking Leon saw a traveling sales man on foot wearing a black hooded cape pass by.
Leon went to go lay back down.
LEON
“Something like that, but there were a lot of them.”
The car stopped.
POLICE MAN #1
“Alright American, we’re here.”
Leon slid open the door and stepped out stretching.
LEON
“Just wait here until i get the girl.”
ASMA
“Yes of course, now go get that girl. I don’t want to wait here to long.”
POLICE MAN #1
“Pussy.”
Asma pushed Police Man #1.
ASMA
“I’m not a pussy!”
Leon threw his hat in the van and shook his head walking away from the van onto a trail leading to a near by village.
LEON
“Why do i always end up with guys like them.”
EXT. BULGARIA/FOREST TRAIL – NOON
As he was walking on a trail to the village he heard the whimpering of a near by dog that caught his attention. He walked off trail to follow the noise he heard, to see if he can help what ever it was that happened to the dog. He followed the noise and found a dog stuck in an animal trap. The dog noticed him and growled viciously.
LEON
“It’s ok buddy, I’m just here to help.”
The dog stopped growling right after he talked as if he knew something was differet about Leon. Leon petted the dog when he reached him and moved his way down to the animal trap. He freed the dog and the dog licked him showing gratitude.
LEON
“Alright fella go return to your owner.”
He patted the dog , and after the dog ran away.
EXT. BULGARIA/FOREST VAN – NOON
ASMA
“I’ll be right back, have to take a piss.
POLICE MAN #1
“Alright just hurry it up will you? I have a bad feeling about this place.”
Asma opened the door and walked out of the van. He made his way down to a stream which was little ways from the van. As he was going pee he heard a twig snap in the nearby forest, and turned his head directly where he heard it.
ASMA
“Is that you Manoma?” (Police man #1)
The stranger in the woods made a deep gargling moaning sound. Asma zipped up his pants and walked over to where he can see the van, he saw that no one was in the driver’s seat so he knew it was Manoma trying to scare him. Manoma was really reaching down for his wallet that he dropped on the ground, seconds later he poked his head back up. Asma saw him poke up and looked back at the forest, he pulled out his gun and walked up to who ever was in there.
ASMA
“Who’s there? Im approaching you with a gun, so try anything a dumb *** would do!”
An old balgarian man stepped out of the forest looking down with an axe dangling in his right arm, he slowly walked dragging his legs towards Asma. Asma clenched the trigger on his gun pointing at the old man.
ASMA
“Don’t get any closer sir!”
The old man ignored what Asma said and got closer and closer.
ASMA
“I warn you!”
The old man stopped and looked up at Asma. Shortly after he screamed and raised the axe in the air running up to him. He fired
a bullet directly in the old man’s head. The old man collapsed to the ground. Asma ran back to the van so he could warn his partner, but he saw that an axe had been thrown to Manoma’s head through the windshield; killing him.
EXT. BULGARIA/FOREST TRAIL/RANDOM HOUSE – AFTERNOON
Leon continued his walk to the village on the trail. He could hear twigs snap and footsteps behind him , but he learned from personal experience that it’s best to keep walking.
STATICY VOICE
“Leon? Testing, testing can you hear me?”
Leon stopped walking and reached in his vest pocket for a walkie talkie. He opened it and could see a lady’s face being shown through a small video screen on the walkie talkie. She is african american and her name is Hunnigan.
LEON
“You must be my walk through?”
HUNNIGAN
“More of a guide, but Hunnigan’s the name.”
Leon continued his walk and stepped up to a house while holding out the walkie talkie.
LEON
“Well am I heading the right way?”

How can I tell if the story I am writing matches too closely an existing work?
Where is the line drawn? I am writing a story and have found the plot resembles an existing film- not another book- in terms of the profession of the protagonist, the setting and a supernatural/ nautical theme. However the country differs, as does the era and the ending.
Thanks.

How to make an original haunted house story?
I have always been interested in writing haunted house stories, but it seems that everything I think up is totally cliche.
I’m not asking for ideas here, I’d just like to know how I can go about making a haunted house story non-cliche. I am mostly inspired with The Shining and The Amityville horror, so stories that are a little more on the psychological side.
Thanx!
