This seashell shooting script contains 28 shots detailing a romantic encounter between characters DON and PALM at the beach. The shots include establishing shots of the ocean, close-ups of the characters as DON finds PALM a seashell, and reaction shots as PALM listens to the seashell and realizes it does not actually sound like the ocean. The final shots show DON and PALM holding hands as they leave the beach, and PALM returning home afterwards.
