Found Footage 3D Page #4

-You hand them to

the actor personally.

Derek:
Fair

enough, that's okay,

we can solve it

now, we have 'em.

-I didn't wanna wake you up.

Andrew:
It's fine, it's fine.

Amy:
Well, I didn't get them.

Andrew:
Can you just

look over it real fast?

-Sure, sure, sure.

-We are rebooting scene

one. We'll do a reboot,

and then take it from the top.

-Hmm.

No, this is no good.

Andrew:
Okay,

what's the matter?

-Well, the writing

sucks, for one.

-Eh, Amy, what are you?

There's nothin' wrong

with the scene.

-Well, I wrote

the scene the way

that I wrote it for a reason.

Structurally, we need

to establish the

"before" of their relationship--

-i know, but we

also need to show

that there's a little

bit of conflict--

-we need to show

that we're in love.

-I know, and in that

love there is conflict.

That is part of what's

gonna happen later.

-Okay, well, you have us

screaming at each other

for two solid pages.

-I don't have us

screaming at each other,

I just have us butting

heads a little bit.

-A little bit? We have

exclamation points

at the end of every sentence.

-Exclamation points

are just emphasis

for the conflict that's coming.

It's the soul of

drama, that's all.

-The soul of drama?

That's super cute, Derek.

Did you get that

out of one of your

$12 Internet screening

writing courses?

-You know, I don't exactly

need to take a course

to write a scene where you

act like a total b*tch, do I?

-Guys, guys, guys. -

Hmm, this is typical,

this is so typical, Derek James.

You can't even pretend to be

in love with me, can you?

-Well, I did it for four years.

You gonna cry now?

Yeah, okay, I did it,

i stepped on a landmine,

here come the crocodile tears.

Everybody give her attention.

-How could you even

say that to me?

-Oh what, now it's

all my f***in' fault.

Is this the same

bullshit we go to?

Mark:
D-d-Derek.

-Du-du-du! If you got

somethin' to say mark,

why don't you spit

it the f*** out?!

No?

Andrew:
Okay, let's all

take a deep breath, it's hot.

Let's just cool off here.

Amy, it's a few small changes.

If you could just look

it over real fast,

and just, we'll give

you two minutes.

Derek:
You know

what, f*** it.

Nevermind, we will

shoot it her way.

-Alright, are you sure?

-Yes, I am absolutely positive.

-Okay.

-My wife says we are in

love, we are in love.

Mark:
Three,

two, one, action.

Derek:
Hey sweetheart,

see my new camera?

You are in 3D.

Reach for the camera,

do it like this, whoo.

-Day one.

-It's been awhile since I've

been on a set like this.

Mark:
What do you mean?

-Well, normally,

i work on bigger,

more professional productions.

I turned down a Ben

affleck movie to be here.

Mark:
Really?

-Mmm-hmm, really.

Mark:
Why?

-Well, Derek helped

me out a few years ago

financially when I needed that,

and I'm returning

the favor, so...

Plus, I f***in'

hate Ben affleck.

-There's a definite

shorthand, I think,

when you're working

with someone so closely

that you know so well.

There's a chemistry

and a history

that sort of lends itself

to the script, I think.

Mark:
Are you worried

about all the fighting

you're going to have to

do later on in the shoot?

-No, no, absolutely not.

We're both professionals.

This is acting, it's

just pretending.

Mark:
Okay, thank

you, I think we got it.

-Great.

-Ah, Mr. mark here.

-Mark, do you ever

put that thing down?

Mark:
Yes.

Andrew:
Do you?

Mark:
Yeah, I do. To sleep.

-There's peanut

butter jelly sandwich,

peanut butter jelly

sandwich, I wanted to die.

-Peanut butter's good.

-Yeah, have it f***in'

35 times in two weeks.

-I have it for

breakfast every morning.

-Okay, are you a peasant?

--Running for their lives

from whatever it is,

not just start beating

whatever is chasing

them to death with the camera.

-It's like war journalists,

they stay there while

the bombs are going off,

while bullets are

flying over their head,

and they keep filming,

they keep filming in the moment.

Why don't they just run?

Because they gotta keep filming.

Carl:
Yeah, they're

also well paid.

Andrew:
Why do

we keep watching?

Why do we keep watching?

And between the two

mediums, found footage,

and you know, war,

in both scenarios,

it's f***ed up, but

in both scenarios

I know a majority of

them aren't coming home.

I know that those guys very

well might die in the war,

and we know that everyone's

dying in found footage.

-Okay...

Hey, spectre of death fans.

I don't have Wi-Fi or Internet,

so I won't be able to

upload this anytime soon.

Maybe when we go into town.

But I just wanted to document

something a little weird

that I found in some of

the footage from today.

I'm not making this

up, this is real,

it's not part of the movie,

at least not as far as I know.

-I did it, I stepped

on the landmine,

here come the crocodile tears.

-There.

See that?

It's sort of in the...

I don't know maybe it's nothing,

but I definitely don't

remember anything or anyone

being there this afternoon

when we were shooting.

Plus--and this is

the weirdest part--

whatever it is--

again?

Jesus, Derek. Give it a rest.

I guess that was a

real animal that time

because Derek's still in his

sleeping bag in the other...

O-Kay...

That's super weird.

Andrew:
Guys, please

be careful of snakes.

Amy:
Snakes?

Andrew:
Mark's how's this

all showing up lighting wise?

-This is good, right?

Mark:
Yeah, the

lighting's great.

-In the trees, you know,

boom boom boom boom.

Andrew:
Oh yeah,

that's great.

-Yeah, you see that?

So, she's like, "f*** you!"

Boom, boom, boom, boom,

boom, boom, boom.

Spectre flashes.

Amy:
Okay, okay.

-So, today we have the first

appearance of the spectre.

Mark:
Which is?

-The villain of the movie,

the ghost, or entity,

or whatever that

inhabits the cabin.

Mark:
How do you plan

on doing the spectre?

-Well, I wanted to do

it as a practical effect

because I think--

-a guy in a spectre suit

would look retarded.

-Yes, well bad cg will

look more retarded.

-Who says it's gonna be bad cg?

-We can't afford good cg.

We'll find out.

Derek:
I'm sorry, i

kicked it in the river.

-You kicked it in the river?

-I didn't mean to

kick it in the river,

it just fell in the river.

It fell in the river when

i was trying to get lunch.

Amy:
So, we don't have a map?

Derek:
We don't have a map,

we're a little bit

lost right now,

but it can't be that hard--

-I'll just lead the

way, don't worry.

Derek:
You can't lead the

way if you don't know

where you're going.

-Oh my god!

How was that?

Derek:
Um...

Mark:
What would you

say the spectre is?

-I don't know, and i

don't think I wanna know.

I mean, I have my ideas.

I think everybody's

gonna have their ideas,

but I kind of hope that they

don't wrap it up neatly.

-I would say that the

spectre is probably

the fictional couple's

own negative energy

that's physically manifested,

like maybe their

relationship dysfunction
