LO2: Script

We as a group produced a script that we will use within our production, we outlined the char actors and made this script to prompts us during the production of the single camera production. This script was provided to both the group and the actors so that everyone was aware of what will be required of them. For us this was a great tool in organising the production done.

Script scene one (Description – opening scene – graveyard)

Voice over of thoughts

Shak: I’ve done some bad things in my life. That’s all behind me, well I thought. I said I was out, but, they didn’t take that lightly. (Smirk) Its time to pay my respects.

Title and date 

Script scene two (Description – kidnap scene.)

(Shak and Rose hand in hand walking up the pathway, talking and giggling)

(Voice over) Both: (Giggling)

(Holding hands shot, face shot)

Rose: Can’t wait to go.

Shak: Have you packed for Spain?

Rose: Hmm, yeaaah.

Shak: Isit everything or half of it (sarcasm)

Both: (Giggling)

(Shak’s phone rings.)

Shak: Hold on, lemme take this.

(Walks off answers his phone)

Rose: Ok, I’m over here.

(Split screen: Shak’s phone rings. He answers his phone and walks off. Rose continues walking up the stairs. Split screen ends)

Shak: (shouts aggressively) NO!

(Rose looks back for a second with curiosity. Suddenly she screams as she is grabbed and taken)

Rose: (shouts with fear) SHAK! HELP!

(Shak hears rose’s cry for help. He turns around quickly in shock. He runs up towards the end of the stairs and is left to find rose’s phone on the floor. Pan shot of him looking around. Bends down and picks up the phone. Zoom in of message on rose’s phone. Message says ‘Rose?… money. 8pm. Spot. Be there.’)

Shak: (head in hands. Reads the text. Panting heavily.) FUCK SAKE! ARRRRRR!

[Fade out]

Script scene three  (Description – rescue/fighting scene)

(Takes his phone out of his pocket. Calls his friend Adam.)

Shak: Yo… I need your help. Its urgent. You got my money. I need it now. I’m coming.

(Running on his way to Adams house.)

Voice over of thoughts:

Shak: Shit… this is all of my fault. Soon as I get the money its over.

(Runs to Adams house. Knocks on the door. Turns around to look away. Finds money on the floor in a rucksack. Picks it up and takes the money.)

[Cut scene]

(He is at the spot. Boss, Cezz and Steel are standing in a line in front of him.)

Shak: Take it! (throws rucksack on floor.)

Boss: laughs (smirking)

Shak: Where is she?

Boss: Why did you leave Shak? We could’ve had it all. Been partners. Was the money not good enough for you? Was I not good enough? (Laughs)

Shak: WHERE IS SHE? I DON’T WANT TO PLAY ANY GAMES ANYMORE! (Shouting with anger)

Boss: why would you want that slag anyway. That slag took you away from us and the great things you could’ve had. You could’ve had it all.

(Shak goes face to face with boss and grips him by the color.)

Shak: I’m not going to ask you again (aggressively)

Boss: (Laughs in Shaks face.)

(Shak throws the first punch at Boss. Boss punches him back. Cezz and Steel come and take the rucksack.)

Cezz: Take the bag, Take the bag.

Steel: Take the money, let’s go.

(Boys pick up the rucksack and run off.)

Shak: Where’s your boys now (pulls gun out and faces it towards the boss)

Boss: (Music start playing slowly) You don’t want to do this, this is the end.

(Shak reaches to pull the trigger as Boss pulls forward the remote trigger to activate the explosion of the bomb. The song plays while rose is screaming and kicking as Shak pulls the trigger. The boss presses the activation button and an explosion takes place. Shak turns around to realize that Rose was in the car the whole time. Shak screams with disbelief.)  

We as a group changed a few of the saying used as we felt that they would not be how individuals would communicate with one another and in addition to this we decided to change the ending that we used for our Single camera production.
