Script

OPENING SCENE

To start my film I needed dialogue that would make the genre of this film clear to the audience without giving too much away on the narrative but enough that would make the audience want to watch more.

Girl:(emotionless) He loves me (long pause).... he loves me not 

I got the idea to use this dialogue because its something my target audience would be familiar and would help with catharsis with especially due to the childlike nature that surrounds this quote. This also tells the audience that this is still a love story, but not one that is straightforward. The tone that this piece needed to be addressed was with a  emotionless sense, therefore, making the overall tone of the piece unclear.

ARGUMENT SCENE

The argument scene is where the majority of my dialogue is. I left this scene with little direction as I wanted them to improvise the emotion and tone that would be expressed as this would increase the verisimilitude of the argument which would help with the audiences empathy towards the piece.

Boy: theres one thing I asked you to do and you couldn’t do that for me 

Girl: I do so much for you

Boy: like what, you never do anything for me

Girl: everything I do with your family?

Boy: oh thats a chore for you?

Girl: no, they just don’t welcome me

Boy: I do everything for you and I do it with a smile on my face

Girl: yeah well my family love you

Boy: without you they would hate me so much

Girl: I don’t get how

Boy: you know the person I was, you changed me, but now your just making me even   

        worse

Girl: I try to help, but I don’t see what else I can do for them to like me

Boy: you think that but you don’t know anything of what they say when your not there

Girl: well i’ve heard what they say when I am there 

Boy: you just don’t understand

Girl: well try and help me understand 

Boy: we always have to do what you want don’t we?

Girl: how? Give me an example?

Boy: just take a look around at our room it’s full of your stuff

Girl: If you done like it then go

Boy: fine then I will (long pause, pushes past girl) get out of my way

Girl: your not going to go though are you
