2. FADE IN:
INT. BEDROOM. DAY.
The main character Jane (16 year old girl) is “adjusting”
the camera in front of her. It is set up on a tripod on
top of a desk - she is sitting on a chair at this desk.
She is a shy and reserved girl but hardworking. She
currently looks tired but hopeful.
JANE
(Into the camera
shyly)
Hi. It’s me, Jane.. My, uh,
therapist gave me this new drug
called…
lifts up the medicine and looks at the packaging. She
reads the name slowly
JANE
‘Noitartine’. It’s supposed to
make me “happier” according to Dr
Veraine…we’ll see I guess.
She takes a pill and swallows it with a glass of water.
JANE
Talk soon.
She reaches up to the camera and turns in off.
WIDESHOT OF THE BEDROOM IN THE CORNER (FROM ABOVE).
Short time lapse of Jane doing a series of tasks that
increase in energy; homework, art, using her laptop in
bed, walking around the room, opening the window,
stretching, exercise (star jumps).
3. INT. BEDROOM. DUSK.
Jane takes the camera and speaks into it while holding
it.
JANE
(Excitedly)
HI EVERYONE. These meds, they’re
INCREDIBLE. I feel- I feel like I
can fly.
Jane sees the window and gets even more excited. She
takes herself and the camera and sits on top of the
window sill.
JANE
(Shouting)
IM ON TOP OF THE WORLD!
She starts laughing hysterically until suddenly the
camera falls out of the window, herself following and
screaming.
FADE IN BLACK
EXT. THE GARDEN DOOR. NIGHT.
THE CAMERA IS ON A BLACK BIN BAG.
Jane is on the right side of the frame. She slowly stands
up, confused and seemingly in pain. She puts her hand to
her head.
A rat then scurries across the floor, moving the bin bag
and adjusting the frame at the same time Jane sees her
own dead body on the floor. She is in shock. The dead
body stands up and walks towards slowly and creepily Jane
and she backs away.
The body has it’s head covered in blood. Gets up slowly
and walks towards Jane.
JANE’S DEAD BODY
(Creepy and
patronisingly)
Do you feel better yet?
4. Jane backs away as her dead body walks towards her. The
sound of it talking gradually increases until theres a
static/droning/white noise sound. The screen glitches and
all of a sudden the dead body’s face is looking into the
camera.
CLOSE UP OF THE DEAD BODY’S FACE. TILTS HEAD SLIGHTLY.
JANE’S DEAD BODY
Do you feel better yet?
CUT TO BLACK.
