The Crusader’s Tale- Homemade Film Script

Below is the script for the homemade movie about the Crusades in its entirety. I wrote it nearly two years ago, making changes every so often as needed. We never got around to filming due to our busy schedules and most importantly, the lack of a video camera. Hopefully we can get around to setting a date for filming sometime in the Spring, but from the look of things, we’ll probably have to wait until school vacation.

*Walking through the woods*

Second 3-5 minutes: Macar will approach an open area (Where his family used to live) He will run in from the tree line falling to his knees in the middle of the sand. He will scream “NOOOO!!!” He will read the tombstone which will have the name of his parents on it.

(Macar will run in towards the camera, )

Macar: my family…..

(Camera will then show Macar kneeling from a distance. )

*Making a fist *

Macar: NOOOOO!!!

Third 2 minutes: Macar will sorrowfully leave the site to go to a priest.

*Gets up, heading down the path to go and visit the priest*

Fourth 5-8 minutes. Macar meets with the priest. The priest recognizes him and tells him the story of his family. The de Tier family is his adopted family. His true mother died giving birth to him and his true father was a knight who was in his first stages of leprosy and gave Macar to the de Tier family for care. The priest tells Macar that he can find his true father, the leper.

Macar: *Macar will approach the home of the old priest* *Knocking on the door* Father? Father? Are you there?

Priest: Yes. yes one moment.
