Episode II – script scene
Please read the following scene and the brief provided by Fraser Brown:
EXT. SHIPYARD – REYKJAVIK – DAWN
A commercial wharf in Reykjavik harbour. Spring. A large fishing vessel is on the dry dock being repaired. In the distance the ominous, snow covered cliffs of Videy island.
A WELDER on the ship casts a flickering light.
CUT TO:
EXT. FISHING VESSEL – REYKJAVIK – DAY
A massive winch is being craned through the air. Two WORKERS steer it with ropes, toward a large hole in the ship’s deck.
Kristinn, drinking coffee, examines a set of structural diagrams. He looks up as the winch eases down.
WORKER
How we doing Kristinn?
Kristinn’s phone rings.
The workers strain to guide the winch. Kristinn motions left with his hand, then answers the phone.
We can’t hear Kristinn’s conversation, but after a beat his face twitches, and his eyes close, and then the phone and the coffee tumble from his hands.
WORKER (CONT’D)
Kristinn?
Kristinn collapses to his knees. The winch slams into the hole, the welder stops and flicks his mask up.
Kristinn tips his head up to the pale sky; pain.
We pull back, Kristinn is small on the huge ship.
Title up: THE FOX HUNTER
I’m interested in the initial creative response from the composer based on how the scene, or moments within the scenes, makes them feel. I’m not looking for a polished score for the scene as that needs to come from a collaboration. Track length max 1m30s.
