'E.T. - THE EXTRA-TERRESTIAL'

[The letters are in soft-purple against a black background. Purple is

traditionally the color of that which is sacred.]

EXT:
NIGHT SKY: NIGHT

The blackscreenbecomes a night sky. The cameraangleslowers to show a

forest against the night sky.

EXT:
LANDING SITE: NIGHT

In an opening in the foreststands a spacecraft. The view of the craft is

obscured by tree branches. The atmosphere is misty, with blue lights coming

from the spacecraft.

[The openingscene is misty and diffused. This forces the audience to pay

close attention to the images on the screen. The characters are not clearly

seen. This engages the audience, as they attempt to see what the aliens

really look like.]

One creaturewalks up the gang blank and into the ship.

INSERT:
ALIEN HAND

E.t.a

A strange hand, with two long and slenderfingers protruding, move aside a

branch that obstructs the view.

[This concentrates the audience's attention. The creaturegoing into the

ship is beingobserved by another creature. Who are they? What's going on?

This is anothertechnique that forces the audience to focus on the action.]

INT:
SPACECRAFT'S GREENHOUSE: NIGHT

E.t. The Extra-terrestrial

The inside of the ship appears to be a greenhouse. There are sounds of

water dripping. Cone shapedobjects (possibly alien plants) sit among earth

plants. Vapors flow up from the plants.

[These images all appear non-threatening. The aliens are inferred to be

collecting vegetation, and are therebyinferred to be harmless.]

[Like many of Spielberg's other films, the openingsequencescontain almost

no dialogue. The story is told withoutverbal exposition. He forces the

audience to becomeengaged in the storytellingprocess by giving them just

bits of information that they have to piecetogether into the story. He

doesn't insulttheir intelligence.]

EXT:
SPACECRAFT: NIGHT

A group of the aliens work in front of the spacecraft. Suddenly, they hear

lights dim and they return to their work.

[This sets up the prop of the red-lights signifying danger. These small

creatures are endearing and non-threatening. They are like children, which

is immediategrounds for audience empathy. The thought that they may be in

danger from wild creatures in the forest, also createsempathy for them.]

EXT:
FOREST: NIGHT

E.t. Movie

A small fern grows on the forest floor. An alien hand, with two fingers

protruding, reaches out for the fern. The alien groans. A rabbitturns and

carefully uproots the plant. A smallwaywardalienwalksaloneamong the

The creaturestandsalone on a hilltop as he stares down at the city lights

below. Suddenly he lets out a moan of fright. A truck, with headlights

glaring, pulls up next to him.

[The quiet, peacefulalien is now in jeopardy.]

The creature runs from the lights. Severalothertrucks with head- lights

glaring drive up. Smokeflows from theirexhaust pipes. Men's legs are seen

as they walk among the trucks. They step into a mud puddle as E.T. watches

from behind a shrub. A man with keys jangling from his waistwalks past a

headlight. He carries a flashlight in his hands.
