EXT. CARIBBEAN SEA - DAY
A grey, impenetrable wall of fog. From somewhere comes the FAINT SOUND of a LITTLE GIRL'S VOICE, singing, slow tempo, almost under her breath.

Yo, ho, yo, ho, a pirate's life for me,
Yo, ho, yo, ho, it's a pirate's life for
me...

Action
Action is also called "business" or "description." It's what we see on the screen or stage. It describes, in the most visual way it can, what happens.
Action
Example 1
Mark walks down the hall. He looks in the bedroom and, seeing nothing, scratches his head. He continues down the hall with a curious expression on his face
Example 2
Mark walks down the hall. He thinks there might be something in the bedroom, so he looks in. He wonders why he doesn't see anything and scratches his head. "Hmmm," he thinks and then continues down the hall.
Action
Parenthetical
A parenthetical is a direction to the Actor about how to read the dialogue.
BOB
(sarcastic)
Of course I love you.
MARTHA
(trying not to explode)
Can’t you be serious for once?
(a beat, then)
Wait, who are you?
Parenthetical
Example 1
Zeke
I don’t think you should stay
(he cocks his shotgun)
We don’t want you here.
Example 2
Zeke
I don’t think you should stay.
He cocks his shotgun.
Zeke
(continuing)
We don’t want you here.

Dual Dialogue
Annotate the following…
• How GENRE is shown through the script.
• Areas which you think differs from the actual intro of the film.
• Parts in which the script has been written with grabbing the audiences attention in mind.
