draft 1#

1 Black screen:
VO: BLUESTAR: (remorseful, solemn) Warrior blood. Too much of that has been spilled lately. The four clans of the forest now live in a time of misery, death and treason. The times when the warrior code was respected, and followed are over. Now even the noblest hearts become corupt to to the evil that threatens us all.
(Warriors "dark" theme grows in the background, getting louder, and louder. Main credits begin to appear on the black screen.)
VO: BLUESTAR: (cont'd) ThunderClan is on the brink of destruction, while ShadowClan grows stronger every day. Time is fading. Whatever hope that the clans of the forest has, rests upon one cat. One cat that can shield the four clans from the evil. that threatens to destroy us all. If this cat should fail, the forest would be thrown into eternal darkness. We can only prey that the arrival of the one is not too late...

Fade to:
2 EXT: RIVERCLAN: RIVER BANK (NIGHT)
(Close up to the half moon, the small bright stars providing a sharp contrast to the pitch black sky overhead. Suddenly, a huge paw steps into the image, revealing that this is a mere reflection in the water, not the true night sky. The sudden splash sends many tiny ripples across the surface of the shallow water. The camera tilts upwards, revealing a slightly embarassed RiverClan Tom, as the many other warriors around him flinch.)

Cut to:
3 EXT: RIVERCLAN: RIVER BANK (NIGHT)
(The dark brown warrior at the head of the group speaks.)
OAKHEART: (annoyed, whisper) Quiet! Do you want ThunderClan to hear us?
(The RiverClan tom winces, and continues more cautiously.)

Cut to:
4 EXT: RIVER (NIGHT)
(The RiverClan cats slip silently into the river. Overhead shot of the sleek dark forms swimming through the water.)

Cut to:
5 EXT: SUNNINGROCKS (NIGHT)
CLOSE UP: (A large balck, wet paw comes to rest on the Thunderclan riverbank/ Background shows many other cats, still slick with water stepping ashore.)

Cut to:
6 EXT: SUNNINGROCKS (NIGHT)
(The camera appears to be viewing the RiverClan cats coming ashore from the cover of the tree branches, and bushes farther mainland.)

Cut to:
7 EXT: SUNNINGROCKS (NIGHT)
WIDE SHOT:(The RiverClan cats searh the Sunningrocks for any signs of ThuderClan warriors.)

Cut to:
8 EXT: SUNNINGROCKS (NIGHT)
CLOSE UP: RIVERCLAN TOM: There aren't any ThunderClan warriors! Is this territory so easily won?
(Background, other RiverClan cats stare in amazement, muttering to themselves.)

Cut to:
9 EXT: SUNNINGROCKS (NIGHT)
(Another RiverClan Tom stares around the clearing in amazement, until his eye catches what seems to be behind the camera. He does a quick double take, before he begins to approach the camera, wearily.)

Cut to:
10 EXT: SUNNINGROCKS (NIGHT)
( OAKHEART spots the Riverclan tom headed toward the forboding forest, and follows him.)
OAKHEART: What is it? What do you see?

Cu to:
11 EXT: SUNNINGROCKS (NIGHT)
(The RiverClan Tom doesn't answer, only continues staring into the forest , transfixed. He approaches it slowly, the camera cutting back and forth between the RiverClan cat, and the forest.)

Cut to:
12 EXT: SUNNINGROCKS (NIGHT)
CLOSE UP: (The camera seems to peer into the darkness of the trees, searching for any signs of life... Suddenly, a muscular brown tabby leaps from the cover of the treees and bushes, snarling! This cat knocks the RiverClan Tom to the ground, and leaps upon him, as ThunderClan Warriors cascade from the masive trees, attacking the unsuspecting RiverClan cats!)

Cut to:
13 EXT: SUNNINGROCKS (NIGHT)
(The camera tracks TIGERCLAW through the raging battle, as cats writhe, locked in desperate combat. Fur andblood flies, yowls fill the air, as TIGERCLAW searches for OAKHEART. Weaving his way through the fighting cats, TIGERCLAW spots OAKHEART a few tail lengths away. TIGERCLAW leaps upon OAKHEART, pinning him to the rocky ground.)
TIGERCLAW: (To OAKHEART, threatening, furious) OAKHEART! How dare you hunt in ThunderClan territory? You may be RiverClan deputy, but you have no right to come here!
(As OAKHEART struggles beneath his attacker, he sneers up at TIGERCLAW, and replies.)
OAKHEART: ThunderClan is weak! After tonight, Tigerclaw, These Sunningrocks will just be another RiverClan hunting ground!
(TIGERCLAW snarls with hatred and begins to lunge for OAKHEART's neck, when he hears a young ThunderClan she-cat calling for help. TIGERCLAW gives OAKHEART a look as if to say: "I'll get you next time, whatever it takes," before leaping back into the fray to find MOUSEFUR.)

ooc: Did you write this? -head tilt-

[shadowstripe]

Yeah, just somethin' to do...
I've been neglecting it for over a month now. I've gotta get back to work on it...

[Rootwhisker]

ooc: 'Kay. Well, I suggest reading up on how to properly write screenplays, 'cause you have a lot of errors in here. xD

Here's a great example of a screenplay:

Look, it's not for real! I told you! It's just something to do! Can't you look at one thing without smashing it to peices? I just like to write! Why can't you understand that? It's not like you have to point out every little thing thats wrong! You people here don't get it, do you? The best roleplaying sites give their members freedom, and respect! Thats the fun of rolepaying, and writing! Just to get away for a while! How can anyone possibly do this on this site, when you're constantly grounding them with complaints? And it's not just you, it's everyone! You all think you're better than everyone else, but here's a reality check... You're not! I'm outta here! I'll delete everything that I posted, 'cept for this. I'll leave you guys this as a parting gift!

[Wandering Moth]

ooc// Don't get mad... We don't think we're better then you, no one's better than any one else. And she wasn't grounding you, she was trying to help. I liked this.

Please don't go! I haven't met you yet! D;

[Galestar]

By the way, your wonderful explosion of emotion may be why I am so picky with the people I chose to join. I prefer people who have common sense, can understand when they're being shown a bit of help, and can accept it with a, "Thanks, I'll take a look. "

Aside from the fact that you were rude to Rootwhisker, you were rude to the forum. You were, quite frankly, rude to everyone. Accepted members mean something to me, bub, and they're more than just another drop in the bucket. I'll consider them friends, not just someone you can blow up on and I'll take it with a smile.

If you're an accepted member, I give you my trust and you're allowed to do just about anything you want--once you manage to pass the acceptance stage. It isn't Alcatraz here, you've got freedoms and you can do what you like; if you're accepted. And, well, if you haven't...then I'm not going to be so open and, "Here, can you take a message to the President?" with you.

I'm glad you understand the way LitL works.

We don't let just any old bozo in, who can post a five second character that means absolutely nothing to the heart. We're not elitists, if you so happen to think that we are. We simply want an intelligent role play, that can take place without questions asked, without people going, "I thought I...didn't I just have my character do such-and-such? Your post totally disregarded that."

So, to sum things up, if you insist on that behavior, I am glad you're gone.

[Rootwhisker]

ooc: You should be grateful that you didn't offend me, pop-tart. -blinks- I mean, honestly, I'm a bit taken aback here. So, I'm not sure if you're going to see this message, but I'll post it as a precaution:

My intention was not to offend you -- not everything is a personal attack on you. I was trying to help you, even if this piece was just for fun. I have taken a screenwriting class, so I know my stuff. I just thought you'd want to write a screenplay properly.

Ergh, anyhow. The thing is, your whole speech was about role-playing and yadda, yadda, yadda. But this is a script, not a role-playing post or introduction. In fact, it has nothing to do with role-playing, so frankly, I really don't know why you went on a tangent about that.

Well~, that's about it for me. Try not to get so bent up, eh? This wasn't a personal attack. It was constructive critisism.

[Drivenwind]

That screenplay was very creative, I have to say.

But jeez, Rootwhisker was only giving you some advice.
