Script-of-the-Week: Buffy the Vampire Slayer “The Harvest”

by Joss Whedon (53 pages)

Awards: None that I could find.

Points of Interest:

• Pacing: A bit slow after the teaser ends but Act 2 ends on a cliffhanger to move the story forward. Pace quickens with acts 3 and 4 ending with a big finish and suggestion of future episodes dealing with more than just vampires.

• Screen Visibility:

• Formatting: Good transitions between action and character dialogue.

• Dialogue: Consisting of strong one-liners like, “You are like a shadow to me now”.

• Act Structure: Teaser, Act I, Act 2, Act 3, Act 4. 54 Scenes.

Note: This is part 2 of a two part episode however part 1 is called “Hellmouth”. Hellmouth ends on a cliffhanger so the end of Act 4 (Hellmouth) is the teaser at the beginning of this episode (The Harvest).
