Sample Script
EXT- On the Bus, evening
An over the shoulder shot of the protagonist’s (a boy) view of
the bus, looking around, everyone looks normal – show the
different types of people on the bus. There is diegetic sound-
chat in the background, music playing etc. Then the bus stops
and the protagonists’ eyes flicker over to a girl coming on.
Then, a shot of the girl’s view of the bus, she is wandering
around looking for a seat and doesn’t notice the protagonist
staring at her, she has headphones on of which her music can
be heard.
Then, it goes back to the protagonists’ view of the girl, he
is intensely staring, not taking his eyes off of her as he
negatively remembers her.
Eerie music faintly comes on as the girl sits down and then
the scene rapidly cuts to a flashback.
Flashback
EXT – In a playground, daytime
Black and white effect on flashback to show it’s a different
time period.
The girl is bullying the boy in a playground area. A worm eye
view shot is used.
GIRL
(Loud and said spitefully)
‘You’re worthless’
(Echo’s/repeated as scene then rapidly cuts back to bus)
EXT – On the same bus, evening time still
The boy is standing within close proximity to the girl waiting
to get off the bus, the girl is unaware as her headphone music
can still be heard, they both step off of the bus and the boy
follows her for a few seconds. Scene then cuts.
INT- in a dark room
Shot of the boy’s hands flicking through school photographs,
finds one that the girl is in, stops and just stares at it.
The camera then zooms in on her face slowly, whilst there is
increasing eerie music in the background, as he zooms in as
close as possible to her face the non-diegetic sound is as
loud as possible and then the scene cuts.
INT- in a dark room again
GIRL
SCREAMS
Puddle of blood dripping can be seen, fast paced shots of
weapons; guns, knifes, ropes, with shots of eyes, shaking
hands with fast paced music supporting the shots.
INT- in a dark room
Zooms in on photograph of girl again and scratches out her
eyes with a knife.
The scene then slowly fades to black, with eerie music closing
the shot.
