Final Draft of Script

We decided that because our script from before we filmed our film opening was so different to what was actually said in the real film opening that we would create a final draft of our script.

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 her rivalry Nancy are bullying and throwing things at her and her friend. She then storms out the common room in an attempt to get away from this nightmare however on the way out her love interest Chris trips into her, a picture of Chris falls out of Abby’s pocket. 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 walking to school. 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 you alright?

Abby: Yeah you?

Ella: Yeah, stayed up until midnight finishing the English essay, you done it?

Abby: (In a glum tone) Oh damn, no I haven’t

Ella: You alright?

Abby: Yeah just, just annoyed I didn’t do the essay

Ella: Abby, you wouldn’t get upset about a stupid essay, I know you, what’s the matter?

Abby: It’s just… I had a really weird dream last night. It…it felt so real

School bell rings

Ella: There’s the bell, we’ve both got a free shall we go to the common room?

Abby: Okay

Walking into the common room where her dreams start to become reality

Nancy: Did you see her Facebook status last night? So lame. Oh, there’s the sket (starts to throw things at her)

Ella: What’s going on?

Abby: I… I’ve seen this before

Ella: What?

Abby: Let’s just get out

(Chris bumps into Abby on her way out of the common room. A picture of him falls out of Abby’s pocket.)

Chris: Sorry, sorry. What the hell is this?]

Abby: Um

Chris: What’s going on? You creep!

Abby stands there speechless.
