The princess, tired of oppression, walks through the woods towards the castle seeking revenge. She finds the smug prince sitting arrogantly on the throne and breaks the tiara symbolizing her defiance. In a fight for power, the princess overpowers the prince, strips him of his royal garments, and takes her rightful place upon the throne.
1. FADE IN:
EXT. WOODLAND – DAY
PRINCESS weaving around trees wearing black clothing with
jewellery.
Sick of all these people talking,
sick of all this noise
Tired of all these cameras flashing,
sick of being poised
Princess is shown to be walking through trees gracefully making
her way to the ‘castle’. She will be lip syncing as she is
walking.
Now my neck is open wide,
begging for a fist around it
Close up to the princess’ neck, showing the jewellery that she
is wearing. She tugs lightly at the cult pendant on her necklace.
Wide shot of Princess walking. She looks determined as she
strides through the trees.
Already choking on my pride,
so there's no use crying about it
Princess uses her right arm to cross her body as a blessing/to
pray for strength/bravery. She begins to sense revenge, her
walking pace picks up. She is making her way to the castle.
I'm headed straight for the castle
EXT. CASTLE/CLEARING IN WOODS – NIGHT
Princess is walking through the 'castle' - a clearing in the
woods. There will be paintings & jewellery hanging from trees.
She will be looking towards the paintings & jewellery.
2. They wanna make me their queen
Princess will see a tree with a tiara on it & gently lift it and
place it on her head in front of the entrance to the clearing in
the woods.
And there's an old man sitting on the throne
that's saying that I probably
shouldn't be so mean
Cut/pan to prince already sat on the throne, he is looking smug
and arrogant wearing a crown/cape/holding cane/wearing rings and
lots of jewels; Smug smile looking directly at camera/princess.
I'm headed straight for the castle
they’ve got the kingdom locked up
Cut back to princess looking shocked, reaching up to touch
necklace/tiara feeling angry & betrayed as she thought she could
have made it.
And there's an old man sitting on the throne
that's saying I should /
probably keep my pretty mouth shut
Cut back to prince obnoxiously/teasingly looking sheepish and
shrugging, trying not to laugh / prince acts out zipping of
lips.
Straight for the castle
Prince throws key teasingly with smug look on his face.
Oh, all of these minutes passing
sick of feeling used
Princess slowly reaches for the tiara – she has anger on her
face.
3. If you wanna break these walls down,
you're gonna get bruised
Princess lowers tiara to face level to snap it, begins to show
signs of breaking it
Now my neck is open wide,
begging for a fist around it
Prince begins running forward to steal the tiara back to prevent
harm to it, arm out stretched to grasp it, horror on Prince’s
face, tiara snapped just before the prince can grasp it.
Already choking on my pride,
so there's no use crying about it
Princess, fearless/adrenaline-fueled from destroying the tiara,
grabs the wrist of the prince & twists it collapsing him to the
floor in pain.
Princess looking down on the Prince in disgust.
I'm headed straight for the castle
they wanna make me their queen
And there's an old man sitting on the throne
that's saying that I probably shouldn't be so
mean
I'm headed straight for the castle
They've got the kingdom locked up
And there's an old man sitting on the throne
that's saying I should probably keep my pretty
mouth shut
4. FADE IN:
Princess starts to take all of the prince’s royal wear such as
his crown, his cape & all of the jewellery & puts them on
herself.
Straight for the castle
Princess walks towards the throne confidently then sits upon it.
There's no use crying about it
there’s no use crying about it
there’s no use crying about it
there’s no use crying about it
Between each line, cross cutting between the princess on throne
and disgraced prince on the floor.
Straight for the castle.
FADE OUT.
