Lesson 8

Today we wrote our script which helped us to think in more detail about what our opening would include.

 

Psychosis

INT. SARAH’S DRIVEWAY. DAY.

SARAH drives into the driveway, and we hear a radio describing the murder of a girl in a local house, and how they have not yet mannaged to track down the murderer. She parks, gets out and looks up at the house. She walks up the driveway towards the new house.

 

INT. SARAH’S HOUSE. DAY.

The door slams and she turns to look around her new house. She starts to sort through a box when she hears a door slam upstairs. She starts to go and investigate when she gets a phone call from a friend, which makes her jump.

            SARAH

                        (Nervously)

            Hello?

 

THERE IS NO REPLY

 

            Hello??

            Yeah I’m fine, I didn’t know it was you, you scared me.

            Yeah I’m in ok, the house is fine.

            Yes.

            Yes.

            Ok, see you later.

 

After she hangs up she continues upstairs to lie down on her bed, and falls asleep.

She has a dream in which she is abused by a man she doesn’t recognise, and wakes up to find marks on her skin, in the same places where the man hit her in her dream. As she is looking at the marks the bedroom door slams again.
