GRAPHIC ON SCREEN: Current digital time
EXT. Featherstone Prison Entrance- Night
Through the cluttered and uninhabited wilderness, the
camera follows (*insert Actor 1*) running into the prison
grounds. Camera tracks this movement following along from
behind the trees/bushes.
DISOLVE TO:
INT. Featherstone Prison- Top of Hill Leading to the
Prison- Night
The camera switches to a wide shot from behind the group
of kids, also introducing the scenery they are looking
into, whilst stood on top of a hill, overlooking the
Prison grounds. Camera repeatedly switches back and forth
between(*Insert Actor 1*) running and then back to the
shot of the kids.
ACTOR 2
Should we just g..?
Actor two cuts off Actor 2 mid sentence.
ACTOR 3
Shh!
Camera switches back to the shot of Actor 1 running
through the bushes still, and then back to this current
scene.
ACTOR 2
We could always just ca…
Actor two cuts off Actor 2 mid sentence.
ACTOR 3
One more minute.
3. .2
The camera switches back for a final time to (*Insert
Actor 1*) reaching outwards, and placing his hand on
(*insert Actors 2*) shoulder, who jumps at the thought of
anyone touching him. Startled… then revealed to the
audience to be a member of the group.
ACTOR 2
Yo, what are you doing!?
You cant just run up on me like
that.
ACTOR 1
(sarcastically)
Well who's idea was it to keep
going on in the first place.
Your’e acting as if you’re the one
that was just left alone in the
back garden of a prison.
ACTOR 2
That is true but…
ACTOR 1
How is there possibly a but to a
situation like this?
ACTOR 2
Ersh.
*Insert Actor 3* abruptly interrupts the bickering. The
camera abruptly switches to Actor 3 also, who begins
walking down the hill mid sentence.
ACTOR 3
(Sarcastically)
Instead of crying about who left
who, can we actually get into the
prison instead of standing on a
4. .3
hill in plain sight…in a prison
yard!?
Actor 1/2 follow Actor 3 down the hill whilst continuing
to bicker as the audio from the bickering slowly gets
quieter and quieter the further they go down. During this
the camera will begin to stray/ pan away from this, and
find its way gradually tilting away/up, to transition to
the next scene.

EXT. Inside Featherstone Army Barracks- Night
In the rubbling remains of the prison barracks, a close
up shot captures a thrown boulder of rock impacting with
a wall thrown by *Actor 4*, which the sudden bang should
make the audience jump. the camera then turns to a mid
shot of Actor 4.
ACTOR 4
Missed again!
Actor 4 continues to try and throw rocks at an
overhanging light. As actor 5 also tries, as actor 6 is
wondering around.
ACTOR 5
Okay, okay watch next one!
4/5 continue to throw rocks, both missing.
ACTOR 6
Move out the way, i’m literally
about to hit it first time.
Actor 6 throws a rock which hits the light directly. The
camera then turns to actor 4/5. Both stare doubtfully
into the camera.
5. .4
ACTOR 5
lets go…
Both 4/5 walk into the rooms opposite. Actor 6 follows,
trailing behind. In the same room, an unknown character
is sitting on top of the ledge stalking the 3 in silence,
and checks his old wrist watch in suspense. The music
intensifies as the camera pans in closer to the unknown
characters face before he subtly flees.
Camera switches back to original group of kids (Actors
1-3) inside the building remains of the grounds. The walk
into a room unaware of the unknown character in the room
with them.
ACTOR 1
Im taking out one of those lights.
Actor 1 throws a rock at the light. Surely after, actor 3
decides to try also, as actor 2 continues to scale around
the room alone. Pushing deeper and deeper into the
building. Actor 2 soon becomes isolated from the others,
unaware of the danger watching his movement as we speak.
Actor 2 still oblivious to the true nature of his
surroundings, continues to search the area, until the
camera pans around to the front of him to show over his
shoulder the unknown character.
Actor 2 slowly turns around. The two stare each other
down, Actor 1 staring into the space where this
characters face SHOULD be. The uncertainty of what is
going on becomes to much for Actor 1 and his body begins
to slowly become uneasy, as the unknown character reaches
for his sleeve and pulls it up to view his watch.
Its at this moment the unknown character takes a step
forward, and as if they were mirrored Actor 2 also takes
the same step. The two come face to face with a tables
length dividing them. Actor 2 goes to speak, but freezes
mid sentence as the unknown character reaches for his
hood, slowly unveiling himself.
Actor 2
