Every Script has a Story.

This is a draft of our script which will be read by our leading female character;

After timing our script the dialogue is approximately 1 minute 7-15 seconds depending on pauses and other actions within the scene. Along with other events in the scene our opening should be approximately 2 minutes. 

We think that the dialogue we have decided opens up many doors and suggests a lot about the main character. 

The first paragraph suggests the teenage girl is at an all time low and has hit "rock bottom" this implies to the audience that something traumatic has happened to her. This makes the audience want to learn more and why? To show the girl has hit rock bottom we showed this in the form of her telling it as a story, a fist striking her face and being pushed and kept down on the floor. The audience then imagines rock bottom as a possible fight for her survival. 

The second paragraph we reveal a bit more about why she is there. The audience learn that some sort of promise has been made and she felt obliged to make that promise, however it soon became a big mistake.

In the first two paragraphs there is also mention of another person that the main character thought she knew and genuinely cared, this pre-warns the audience that there is a character in the film that can't be trusted and the girl is close to, however the audience is un aware of who it may be.

In the final paragraph we reveal more about the character herself. About who she was before the events that will un fold in the film. She also uses cliche's and metaphors to describe how she's feeling, she warns the audience before she uses the cliche's to add humour to her speech, this makes her actions more sickening as she is able to joke about what is happening
