the Giant Killer Script Ch 2 Pg 11 review

(Please note that this is done as it would a script for a comic, I have a background in comics so I use comic terms for the script. I do hope to get this made as a movie of short tv show. I'm looking for feed back on the pages if you can take the time to read and leave a review in the comments.) 

Page 11 - Four Panels

(Ch2 Pg11 Panel-One)

EXT. SMALL FARMHOUSE - DAY. Garerit arrives at his family's modest farmhouse. The structure is old, with cracked walls and a sagging roof. There are signs of struggle- overgrown weeds in the garden, a broken fence. The window shutters hang crookedly. Garerit stands in the doorway, surveying the scene with a somber expression.

CAP: After the turmoil, the tailor finds his family just barely holding on.

SB (Garerit - Inner Thought): This place... it hasn't been easy for them.

(Ch2 Pg11 Panel-Two)

INT. FARMHOUSE - DAY. Garerit enters, his face filled with concern. Inside, his family looks haggard-his mother sits by the hearth, her face worn with worry, while his younger siblings sit nearby, looking hungry but relieved to see him. The room is sparse, with only a small fire burning and some scattered belongings.

SB (Garerit): (Softly) Mother... siblings...

SB (Mother): Gerarit! Thank god... you're safe!

SB (Garerit): (With a sad smile) I've brought food and supplies. It's not much, but it's enough to get us by.

(Ch2 Pg11 Panel-Three)

Garerit kneels down, unloading the sacks of goods and placing them on a small table. His younger sister reaches up eagerly, her eyes wide with relief. His brother watches from the corner, barely hiding his gratitude. Garerit looks at his family, a mixture of sadness and determination in his eyes.

SB (Garerit): This is from the giant's hoard. We'll make sure you have enough to get through this.

SB (Sister): (Smiling, excited) Food... real food!

SB (Brother): (Quietly, with gratitude) You did it, Garerit... you saved us.

(Ch2 Pg11 Panel-Four)

Garerit stands up, looking at his mother. She approaches him, eyes filled with both relief and sorrow. She reaches out to touch his shoulder, her expression a mix of pride and pain.

SB (Mother): Gerarit, we've been so hungry... and scared. I didn't know how much longer we could last.

SB (Gerarit): I know, Mother. It's all right now. I won't let anything happen to you.

SB (Mother): I have something to show you.

CAP: Despite the hardship, Gerarit's family is now safe. But the road ahead is still uncertain.

Emotional scene, Gregory Barone. It's important to have these slow, emotional scenes in between big, action scenes to give the reader a chance to catch their breath and invest in the characters more.

It gets better!
