First draft screneplay

Screenplay “Pony Fontana’s Crib”

SCENE 1: EXT. MANSION
Quick cuts between the Jollygood sign, a fast pan down to the mansion and a fast sideways pan to the Cadillac outside. Information screen comes up with the house information. I.e. 3000 square feet; 4 bedrooms; 3 bathrooms; underground storage warehouse; Jollygood, Les Angels. Cuts of house exterior appear in side window. Quick track up steps to door followed by fade to closeup of door. Door opens to reveal Pony Fontana standing there in a robe.

SCENE 2: INT. MANSION - FOYER
Quick cuts between various antiques, the red carpeted stairs, and eventually a pan revealing the room in its entirety focusing on the large statue of an overly masculine statue of Pony looking heroic with his foot on a severed bear head. Pony stands in front of it and starts posing. Camera attempts to look past him, and eventually turns to a door and heads through. Sped up tracking shot until new room.

SCENE 3: INT. MANSION - WEIGHTS ROOM
Cuts between weight machines, medals on the wall, trophy cabinet, and full view of room. Pony enters and pulls the camera to be back on him. He goes to do some weight lifting and cant quite lift the weights. He gives himself a hernia and falls down.

SCENE 4: INT. MANSION - CORRIDOR AND BATHROOM
Cuts between antique suits of armour, paintings of Pony, and upward pans of the whole corridor. Cut to bathroom door opening to reveal Pony sitting on toilet reading newspaper with his photo on front. Music stops, pace slows down. Headlines say “drug baron makes millions”. Pony looks up from paper, door shuts and camera turns down corridor, looking behind once to see pony emerge looking embarrassed at the camera before heading in the other direction.



SCENE 5: EXT. MANSION - SWIMMING POOL
Cuts between sun loungers, parasols, cocktail bar, and a pan to full shot of whole pool. Pony is standing in full view with his back turned posing and clenching his buttocks in a thong. Camera loses interest again and focuses on his wife who is sunbathing on a lounger. Camera pans back to Pony who is now waving his fists angrily and running towards the camera. Chases camera out of the grounds.

For the most part its sounds good, however you've added quite a few extras like the car, suits of armour and his wife and im not sure we have the time to model all these things. If we did make his wife it would make more sense to put her on the toilet aswell to avoid the transition between gym and toilet where he teleports there. Apart from that I like it, and i'll incorporate the cocktail bar to the pool as one.
