Research- Scream 3

Scream 3 is a 2000 American slasher, horror spoof film. Scream 3 starred multiple well known actors and actresses such as Corteney Cox, Patrick Dempsey, Scott Foley, Jenny McCarthy, and more. This is the third movie in a four movie franchise. The film's budget was 40 million dollars and it made 161.8 million dollars at the box office worldwide. Because this film was released after the violence that happened at Columbine High School, the violence in the film was turned down and the comedy was increased making the movie more of a horror spoof. The MTV movie awards nominated Neve Campbell for best female performance and Parker Posey for best comedic performance. At the Teen Choice Awards in 2000 Scott Foley was nominated for choice sleazebag and Courteney Cox and David Arquette won choice chemistry. Scream 3 opened with the logo for Dimension Films. After the logo, the movie starts with a close up the Hollywood sign followed by aerial shots of a Hollywood freeway. While the aerial shots take place there is a helicopter hovering in some of the shots because of the helicopter it is learned that there was a multiple injury crash causing major backup. Then there is a transition into a car with Cotton Wearly who happens to be on the phone when a "fan" accidentally calls, but turns out to be the scream killer who is at Cotton's girlfriend, Christine's house and is threatening to kill her if Cotton does not give up the whereabouts of where Sydney Prescott is. There is then a parallel cuts to show the killer in Christine's house and Cotton trying to get to her house by driving erratically through downtown Hollywood. The killer ends up tricking Christine into thinking he is Cotton by using a voice recording. After Cotton arrives at her house there is an over-the-shoulder shot to show no one is in his line of sight. Cotton then finds the stab marks in the door Christine is hiding behind resulting in him breaking into the room and her trying to attack him. The killer then shows up and kills both. Right before the killer goes to stab Cotton for the final time Scream 3 flashes up onto the screen with a scream.
