Script Take # FINAL

So after 2 and a half months of work-shopping this work of genius, its finally finished(?)

And here it is!

Act 1:

Setting: blizzard snow covered twisted mountain trail

Camera pushes in on a mountain ravine covered in snow on a shadow of a character in the snow with a few silhouettes scattering the snowy landscape

The Camera pushes in closer to reveal a Hunter marooned in the snow under a tree pulling his clothing tighter around himself, all the while shivering from the cold.

XCS of his chattering teeth

XCS of his blue hands shaking

The warrior begins to look to his left.

To his left he sees a moose scuffing the ground looking for something to eat and obviously doesn’t notice the Hunter

The Hunter grasps his bow loudly and the Moose scampers off startled

The Hunter looks to his right 

Camera follows his view and stops to his right where a bear is also sitting in the cold who was also watching the moose run off.

The Hunter stares at the bear in an over the shoulder shot and pushes in

The Camera cuts to a LS of the Hunter and Bear to show their distance and begins to push out.

Act 2:

Close shot on the Hunter’s head as he leans back and begins to day dream

Cut away to an image of the Hunter wearing the bear’s fur as a pelt

Looks back up begins to size up the bear

Cuts to an image of roasting the bear on a spit

Cuts back to hunter pulling out something and drops it in the snow

The Bear looks up to see the Hunter day dreaming and stands up on his hind legs (cuts from a CS to a LS)  

Realizes what’s going on and takes a step back. LS

The Bear’s stomach growls (XCS) reminding him of the hunger he has and gives into it.

The Bear hunkers over and begins to drool.  (The camera pushes in from a LS to a MS)

The Bear in turn begins to day dream.

Camera cuts away to a LS of an image of himself wearing the Hunter’s skin as a pelt with a pile of bones next to him

Hunter snaps out of the day dream (MS) And cuts away to the Bear hunkered over drooling

Camera cuts back to the Hunter’s hungered expression and cracks a smile (CS)   

The Hunter reaches for his bow, and attempts to notch an arrow only to find his quiver is empty (XCS)

Hunter reaches for his hatchet only to find that missing as well.

The warrior immediately begins to fumble through his belongings searching for something (MS)

Warrior pulls out his Swiss army knife (XCS on his hand with light coming from his army knife)

Camera cut back to show Hunter confidently fanning out each tool to make it clear to the bear of his intentions (MS)

Pauses on several different tools thinks about it then continues, varying ridiculousness and finally settles on his teddy bear knife

Switches to an over the shoulder shot of the bear, who is still drooling

Switches to MS of the bear who perks up attempts to bulk himself up straightens his back snorts and begins pointing at his paw.

The Bears whips out his paw in the same fashion that the Hunter did (XCS on the Bear paw with light shining from it)

Camera cuts to a MS of the Bear who is now fanning out each claw just as the Hunter did with his knife.  Goes through several different claw types but finally settles on Bear claw, then cocks his paw to reveal all claws.

The Camera cuts back to a MS of the Hunter is now more angry than confident

The Camera switches to a XLS of both the bear and Warrior staring each other down.

All goes quiet, the storm comes to a halt and the two just sit staring at each other

The Camera cuts to a XCS on the Warriors eyes as they begin to squint, then cuts to the Bear’s mouth which stops drooling

XCS of the Hunter’s grasp on his Swiss army knife

XCS of the Bear’s eyes that goes from a squint to panic Camera pushes in to reveal a bottle of Bear-B-Q sauce hanging from the Hunter’s belt

Rush Pull out from the XCS to show the bear snaps first and begins running in a panic away from the hunter

The Hunter leaps from his place of shivering from beneath the tree. Camera Pushes out at the start of the jump

Camera Cuts to an over the shoulder view from the warrior as he leaps toward the bear.

The Blizzard starts up again more intense than before

Camera cuts to a LS as the Hunter tackles the Bear sending the Bear tumbling forwards

Camera cuts to a XLS to reveal that the two were on a steep hill as the both the Warrior and Bear begin to roll down the side in a tackle, rolling over one another

Camera cuts to a worm’s eye view of the two coming at the camera as it Pushes out

Camera cuts to a camera angle as if riding the tackle, showing that a silhouette of something massive as if 4 trees are in their path.  Camera pushes in

Switches to a LS as they smash into the object

Act 3:

The blizzard calms again.

The two untangle from their pile and look up as a huge moose.

Camera cuts to an angle looking at the horrified expression on their faces

Camera cuts back to an upwards tilt at the Moose who looks down with its big dumb wall eyes and lets out a snort, begins to chew something and drool on the pair below him.

Camera cuts back to a downwards tilt of the pair.  Hunter looks at the bear, then lifts his arm still holding the teddy bear knife into frame and shrugs at the bear

Bear response by over excitedly nodding yes

Hunter Gentle jabs the moose with his tiny utensil

The mooses’ eyes go from wall eyed to cross eyed as the derpy creature tips over

Camera rush pulls out to a LS of the moose tipping over with the knife embedded in its side

The pair look back at each other and shrug MS

Camera fades to black

The camera fades in from black to a scene of the two characters sitting back to back with moose parts strewn all around them in the snow.

The Hunter now wearing the moose’s’ pelt and savagely chow’ing down on a moose leg, While the Bear uses the Hunter’s knife to carefully cut up his portion.

The warrior leans back and settles into the bear’s back, lets out a burp and begins to fall asleep.

The Bear welcomes the Hunter, yawns and lays his head down over his paws

Camera pulls out from the battle scene back to its original position and fades to white
