Screenwriting : I bet you can't watch this scene without jumping. by Emma McBean

Yes, I've seen it, and still, again, a jump. I think the trick is that they make you fall asleep with too much dialog. Smart. Very smart! Second plus now is you feel what he feels - I'm going to get this m.....f..cker, even if it costs me my life. But still no satisfection, because he can't get back her life avenging it. What is he going to do now? All these thoughts because of one terrible incident. That's filmmaking! We want to feel something, even if it's unconvertable, maybe especialy if it's sad. It just has to have meaning.

Guessing this scene took at least one full work day to film, multiple cameras, storyboards, multiple picture cars to repeat stunt

I jumped, Emma McBean! Haha I was so into the conversation, I let my guard down. I do this with surprises and jump scares in my scripts. Get the reader so focused on a conversation or thing that they let their guard down.

I knew it would happen, but I still jumped!

Maurice Vaughan Dan MaxXx Wendy Weising Rutger Oosterhoff haha knew it! yes the conversation seems to be the trick, because the conversation is so intense and we wanting to find out, once she confirms its the contact we are thinking it over as she goes to open the door and stand up then boom, that was done to perfection the way it was shot.

Got me again. It was a great scene the first time I saw it, and wow, still great.

Emma McBean I took your dare and failed miserably. Even got myself psyched for it. Wow.

Leonardo Ramirez well done hey!! haha

EDGE OF DARKNESS... surprisingly great thriller!!!

Emma McBean I've never seen this movie either. So yeah...time for some chamomile.

Leonardo Ramirez lol calm your nerves and Francisco Castro I remember watching it when it first came out and just loved it, great thriller.
