EXT. THE TURNER HOUSEHOLD - DAWN/DAY
The film starts with a tilt slowly revealing an establishing
shot of the house.
INT. THE TURNER HOUSEHOLD - DAWN/DAY
The house is mainly white and tidy. There is some art hanging
on the walls followed by a tracking shot up the stairs to
JACKS bedroom. The camera goes to an MCU of JACK sleeping,
JACK is a 16/17 with brown hair and brown eyes. to then a CU
of his face, to then an ECU of his eye. A dream type
transition is used to convey we are now witnessing his
imagination.
MUM
(off-screen)
"Jack you up yet, you'll be late for
school"
We see JACK opening his eyes and a POV shot is used as he
looks around his very messy room. He looks in the mirror and
his hair is up and crazy and he is in his underwear. He goes
to the bathroom and sits on the toilet, a big 'Plop' is heard
from the outside of the toilet. The screen goes black and a
title saying
'10 minutes later'
JACKS little sister MAYA is around 13/14 with dark hair and
brown eyes, she finds her brother incredibly annoying. She
starts banging on the bathroom door.
MAYA
"Get out of the bathroom"
Jack opens the door and Maya hits him, he walks down the
stairs with a smirk on his face, after we see Maya smelling
Jacks aroma from the toilet, we then hear off screen-diegetic
sound Maya shouting
MAYA
(Off screen-dietetic)"Ewwwww, JACK
THATS STINKS!"
Jack goes to the kitchen and starts opening random cupboards,
he finds the cereal cupboard and starts picking out cereal,
but the ones he doesn't t want to eat at, he just throws them
on the floor, and cereal just goes all over the floor
everywhere. Jacks parents storm in and see the kitchen as a
3. 2.

mess.
DAD
"JACK THE KITCHEN IS A MESS, YOUR
GOING TO CLEAN THIS UP RIGHT NOW"
Dad's voice starts to fade out as Jack loses concentration of
what his dad is saying, so jack looks at his dad, clicks his
fingers and the dad disintegrates, the camera does a CU of
Jacks face, then the camera cuts to him sleeping in his bed
again, then a tracking shot going up against some more stairs
to the parent's bedroom is used. A split-screen of the
parents face to their eyes is used to signify their ideal
morning.
The Dad gets out of bed and turns on the radio, some very
peaceful jazz music comes on, the parents walk into Jacks
room and he's all groomed, his hair is gelled back and his
room is all tidy (the opposite to Jacks ideology of his
fantasy morning). They walk into the kitchen and Maya has
made breakfast for the whole family. A CU into an ECU of the
parents eyes the transition them being back in bed. Then the
camera does a tracking shot down some stairs to Maya's
bedroom to then zoom into her eyes.
When Maya wakes up her whole family is waiting for her
commands.
MAYA
(Points at her mum) "You make
breakfast for me, (Points at her
brother and father), You will carry me
to the bathroom."
Jack and his dad pick up MAYA and take her to the bathroom,
The brother gets her toothbrush and puts toothpaste on it.
MAYA
"Brush?"
Jack then proceeds to brush Maya's teeth, we get some
reaction shots of Jack finding this experience very
uncomfortable.
After they carry her down the stairs to the kitchen where the
mother has presented Maya with some cereal.
MAYA
"WHAT IS THAT, YOU KNOW MY fAVOURITE
IS COOKIE CRISP!" (She then proceeds
to fling the bowl of cereal on the
4. 3.

floor resulting with milk, cereal and
shattered pieces of the bowl around
the kitchen)
Maya then Starts screaming and the camera zooms into her
eyes. Then we get a split-screen with everyone waking up
again. Jacks room is messy, but he puts nice clothes on and
looks groomed, Maya goes and takes a shower we are presented
with her head in the shower looking tired. Parents go and
make breakfast and everyone in the house simultaneously sit
at the table with their breakfast in front of them, the
atmosphere is rather quiet and awkward.
JACK
"Did everyone sleep well?"
