Callum's Script

THE SCRIPT.
BY CALLUM ADAMS.
AS T1-29 WE HAVE DECIDED TO CREATE A SCRIPT EACH. BY DOING IT THIS WAY WE CAN UPLOAD EACH SCRIPT TO THE BLOG, ANALYSE EACH OTHERS, THEN CHOOSE THE BEST AND MODIFY IT. THE SCRIPT WE ARE WRITING IS FOR THE PHONE CALL THAT OPENS THE FILM. THE PHONE CALL IS DESIGNED TO TRIGGER MYSTERY IN THE AUDIENCE BY DISCUSSING FRAMING A CHARACTER, INTRODUCED LATER, FOR A MURDER. THE PHONE CALL WILL BE RECORDED IN OUR NORMAL VOICES AND THEN EDITED IN GARAGEBAND TO MUFFLE THE SOUND TO GIVE A HEIGHENED EIRIE EFFECT. SO IN GENERAL, THIS PHONE CALL WILL NEED TO CREATE SUSPENSE AND TO DO THIS IT WILL HAVE TO GIVE AWAY KEY FEATURES TO THE STORYLINE. THE AMOUNT OF INFORMATION GIVEN AWAY HOWEVER IS SOMETHING THAT WILL BE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION. THE CONVERSATION IS WRITTEN TO LAST AROUND 30 - 45 SECONDS.

THE TWO CHARACTERS WILL BE GIVEN THE NICKNAMES X AND Y FOR THE PURPOSE OF THE SCRIPT.

X. PEOPLE ARE BECOMING INCREASINGLY SUSPICIOUS TOWARDS MY EFFORTS INTO ACQUIRING A PASSPORT. LEAVING MY JOB WASN’T A GOOD IDEA EITHER, MY FAMILY HAVE STARTED QUESTIONING ME, NOT TO MENTION MY EX WORK COLLEAGUES.

Y. THIS ISNT EASY, I KNOW THAT MYSELF, EVERYONE AROUND ME RAISED ISSUES WHEN I JACKED IN MY JOB. FORTUNATELY I FLEW OUT A WHILE AGO, THE DUST HAS BLOWN OVER, AND ALL INQUIRES INTO MY REASONING HAVE DIMINISHED.

X. MY PASSPORT IS DUE FOR ARRIVAL ON SATURDAY AND ORGANISING AN ESCORT TO THE AIRPORT HAS NOT BEEN EASY. I NEED TO ERASE MY IDENTITY BEFORE I LEAVE, I MEAN, I CAN’T LEA… (Y SENSES LACK OF CONFIDENCE IN THE PLAN AND STEPS IN BEFORE X BECOMES HYSTERICAL)

Y. YOU ARE AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THIS TEAM, YOUR ACTIONS WILL CREATE A BETTER AND BRIGHTER FUTURE FOR THE BRITISH EMPIRE, ULITMATELY, YOUR DECISIVE MOVEMENTS, WILL SAVE OUR GREAT COUNTRY FROM ITS UNCONTROLLABLE DECLINE.

X. THE CHILDREN, HIS WIFE?

Y. THERE WILL BE INEVITABLE LOSSES, THEY ARE INSTRUMENTAL IN RESURRECTING WHAT ONCE WAS A ECONOMY WORTHY OF LEADING THE WORLD TO BIGGER AND BETTER THINGS. ARE YOU WITH US?

X. YES.

Y. WE HAVE ORGANISED YOUR IMMEDIATE WITHDRAWAL FROM THE COUNTRY AND ONCE YOU HAVE CARRIED OUT WHAT WE AGREED WE HAVE MEN READY TO TAKE CONTROL. OUR PLANS HAVE BEEN CHECKED AND DOUBLE CHECKED, THERE’S NO DOUBT, HE WILL BE FRAMED.

(THE PHONE LINE GOES DEAD AS CHARACTER Y HANGS UP, THE DIAL TONE PLAYS)

X. (X BREATHS HEAVILY ONCE AND HANGS UP)
