SCRIPT (DRAFT)

After we were done with the location our next goal was to work on the script. We had first decided to have a draft script that we all agreed on and Later we'll decide what little detail and changes the story requires in order to add more suspense to the whole script or to make it more interesting.
The first script is:

*Scene 1*
1. Close up shot of a pair of hands (boy's) tied to a rope, trying to free themselves from the rope (boy 2)
2. A shot of an unconscious boy (boy 1) tied to a chair with a black cloth on his face
3. A paning long shot of all 3 tied together in the dark room with no roof and broken wall on one side
4. A close up shot of the sweating face of the girl (frightened)
(Or other opening shots that Ali decides)
1. Girl: "boy1 is boy2 alright" referring to the unconscious boy
2. Boy2: "don't think so"
3. A close up shot of the girl cutting her bracelet and using it to cut the ropes
4. Boy2: "what do you think you're doing, they'll kill us"
5. Girl: "just keep quiet and do as I say"
6. A 2 shot showing the girl who manages to cut the ropes and boy2 looking at her
7. A shot of the girl panicking in the effort to open boy2's ropes
8. boy2: "hurry up before anyone catches us"
9. Girl: "I am trying, don't confuse me"
10. A shot showing both of them going towards the unconscious boy
11. Boy2: "wake up! Hello (slapping his face)
12. Boy1: "w... wait.... what's going on...."

*CUT*

*Scene 2*
1. A tracking shot showing them coming outside the gate and running
2. Boy1: "do you know where you're going"
3. A close up of boy2 (irritated) : "away from them!"
4. The girl trips and falls down, boy1 helps her to her feet
5. Boy1: "are you okay?"
6. They all stop for the girl, girl: "Do I look okay!"
7. Boy2 : "Hurry up, there's no time they'll not be far behind"
8. A shot from the side showing them run
9. Various Shots from different angles showing them reach to the top (not the hotel but the area before it)
10. Boy2 : "what do we do now?"
11. Boy 1: A reverse zoom closing up to his face and then he pulls a phone out of his back pocket "found this at the table near the door"
12. Girl and boy2 look at each other and say at the same time (unintentionally) : " we should call him" ( not telling who are they calling will also raise questions, SUSPENCE)

*CUT*

*Scene 3*
1. A close up of the phone (phone rings and in the same shot someone's hand comes in and picks up the phone
2. Anonymous officer: "Hello?"
3. " yes it is me, who am I speaking to "
4. A dramatic sequence of shot reverse shot showing the girl reply (we can't hear what they are saying)
5. A long shot of the officer with his table he looks at the table for a paper but is unable to find one (he stands up in a hurry) and moves towards a small table in the corner to get a paper.
6. "Plz describe the location you are at and the people you ran from"
7. Anonymous officer: "Hello, Hello.... are you there?
8. A shot from the forest with the phone at the floor with no one around ( we can still here the officer say "Hello")
9. The officer looks at his phone put it back and looks at the paper with confusion all over his face

*CUT*

SCRIPT (IDEA)

When I made some friends I joined their group. Now I pitched in my plan that was decided up till now and they responded to it by saying that as it's not much different than what they had previously discussed, which was to shoot a scene in which a group teenagers are shown running and they call the police but we never get to hear what the teenagers said to the police which would create suspense. So we decided to merge the 2 stories.

Now what the idea we had in our mind was to show a scene that looks like a kidnapping and show how they escaped the place and call someone for help. This is what we all agreed upon on 10th of December:

Scene 1

• 1 girl, 2 guys
• Tied together in a dark broken building (on chairs)
• The girl somehow manages to cut her rope and then frees the rest
Scene 2
• All 3 are shown running 
• On a thin track in the forest 
• They constantly look over their shoulders to check if someones following or not
• They are panicking and running 
Scene 3
• Call is received by the officer
• Parallel editing to show the friends running and the girl speaking on the phone
• The girl describes where she is (as she is not sure)
• Officer stands up and starts writing things on a paper
• But the call ends half way leaving the officer all confused.

AIM
