Being Human 1x01 Script Extract
(Example of good Scene Direction)
This script shows good use of scene
directions for multiple characters in different
scenes. The first scene in this extract is about
Mitchell who is waking up from being drained of
blood as avampire. His first gasps of breath in his
second chance at life. Thewords used throughout
relate to him beinga soliderin the First World War
at the time of him being turned. This first scene
establishesthecontext behind thecharacter for the
rest of the series.
"Being Human" Episode 1 SHOOTING SCRIPT 17th September 2008 2.
3 CONTINUED: 3
Suddenly his body jackknifes and arches. He gasps - huge
gulps of air, like someone bursting to the surface from the
depths of the ocean.
He looks around, shocked, disorientated. The puncture marks
on his neck still just about visible.
The secondscenein this extract is someone
who has died and come back as a ghost but it
unseen by everyone around her. Her family, her
friends and her loved one Owen who fails to see
her just like everyone else. The scene direction
shows Annie’sattempt to get notice by someone
whilst they mourn her in her home where she
died. She shouts, pleads, waves her hand point
blank in front of their face and she remain unseen. The second scene also shows some
context of Annie’s character being a ghost without anyone actually saying the word in
addition to her fears, and self-image that she now has. Furthermore, is shows the outer
presence and context of everyone around her as they mourn her.
4 INT. THE HOUSE. KITCHEN. DAY B. 2008. 15:41. 4
Various relatives - Owen among them - stand around the
kitchen. All in funeral black. Shocked, mute and awkward.
Their grief and bodies too big for the tiny kitchen.
ANNIE (V.O.)
You can love if you like.
Annie stands to one side, looking strangely out of place in
her t-shirt and jeans among all the black. She pleads with
the people in the kitchen, waves her hands, shouts in their
faces. No one sees her, no one hears.
The third scene and fourth scene shows Mitchell getting intimate with Lauren whom
he then proceeds to drainofher blood in his uncontrollablebloodlust. In these sceneswe see
inner and outer presence plus comeadditional context behind the character of Mitchell as
well as some minorpoints of outerpresence about Lauren. The inner presence is tricky to
notice but it’s there.As Mitchell is avampire
one can start to think about thestereotypes
etc. However, we find out that he lives a
human life as if he were normal which
shows us that he hides who hereally is and
that he wants to be a part of society.
However, saying this we also find out that
he gives in to his addiction of drinking
blood andthat he can’t control it. He beats
himself as he’sdonethe one think he hates
the most. Taking an innocent life. We know that he is okay with taking lives as he was a
solider just not an innocent one.
4a INT. LAUREN’S FLAT. BEDROOM. NIGHT D. 2008. 23:06. 4a
Mitchell, and a young beautiful woman we will later
recognize as Lauren. They are having sex.
ANNIE (V.O.)
And if you’re very lucky you can
be loved.
Then Mitchell opens his mouth wide. Baring vampire teeth
that are long and sharp and wicked. Lauren’s body shudders
and braces as he bites her. He drinks and drinks.
5 INT. LAUREN’S FLAT. BEDROOM. NIGHT D. 2008. 23:17. 5
Lauren is laying face down on the bed. Eyes open, but dead.
ANNIE (V.O.)
But everyone gets a death.
Mitchell is slumped on the floor. Blood on his lips. Tears
running down his face. He beats himself with his fists.
Whack. Whack. Whack. A slave to his addiction.
