Script for ‘Dreams can come true’
Film opens with an establishing shot of central protagonist, Abby’s house. All lights are off except for her bedroom, which is giving out a dim glow. It then cuts to a medium shot of Abby in bed, asleep however it is clear by her muttering of words such as “stop” and “please” that she is having a dream. The shot then dissolves into her dream where a point of view shot follows the vision she is enduring. In the dream, she is in the school common room and people are bullying and throwing things at her and her friend. She then storms out the common room in attempt to get away from this nightmare however on the way out she trips and falls into her love interest, Chris. Abby then wakes up and a medium shot portrays her sudden awakening.
Abby: (in a confused tone) Woah
Music begins to play over a montage of Abby getting reading for school (brushing her teeth, changing, eating breakfast etc..).
Mum: Come on Abby, you’re gunna be late for school!
Abby: Okay mum!
Abby quickly puts a photo of her love interest in her pocket on the way out, this action is emphasised by the close up of the photo followed by a close up of her smiling face. There is then a montage of her walking to school with her earphones in her ears. At this point, music is still playing and the titles are on screen. As Abbey arrives at school, she takes her earphones out to greet her best friend, Ella.
Abby: Hey
Ella: Heya!
Abby: You alright?
Ella: Yeah good good thanks, bit tired though, stayed up until midnight finishing the English essay for mr brown, you done it?
Abby: (in a glum tone) Oh damn. No I haven’t.
Ella: Oh well im sure it’ll be alright
Abby: (looking down at the floor) Mm..
Ella: You okay?
Abby: Yeah fine, just umm... annoyed I didn’t do the essay
Ella: (looking at her in a ridiculous way) Come on Abby, I know you, you don’t get upset about an essay! What’s wrong?
Abby: (reluctant to tell her) I don’t know... I just… I just had a bit of weird dream last night. It… it felt so real.
Ella: Umm
School bell rings
Ella: Come on you’ve got a free period now haven’t you? Let’s go to the common room!
They walk to the common room where her dreams start to become reality. In the common room, like in the dream, people start throwing things at her and shouting mean things such as “let’s get her out of here!”, “pikeys!”.
Ella: What’s going on?
Abby: I… I’ve seen this before
Ella: What?
Abby: Come on let’s get out of her!
Abby grabs Ella and leaves the common room. As she leaves the common room, similar to her dream she bumps into Chris however this time she makes sure only to bump into him and not to fall over. She is chuffed at the result as they engage in flirtatious eye contact however suddenly the photo of him falls out of her pocket.
Chris: What… Why have you got this?
Abby stands there speechless.
