Planning - Script #24

                                                                                                                                                                 To know what potential scenes we are going to be filming and what will be happening in them, the following script will show what is going to allow us to execute our ideas in our opening in the right order:

Opening Scene

VOICEOVER:

"Ever since 2012, Sofia and I have been inseparable. I can't remember one weekend we didn't spend it together playing around outside. We were glued together for years, until one day everything changed."

"Sofia had just transferred to my school sophomore year. We were so excited to finally go to the same school together. That was until Camila quickly ruined it."

"After her first week, it was like Sofia had completely forgotten about our friendship. She cared more about hanging out with Camila and her social status. This was a knife straight to the heart, and if that wasn't bad enough, they began harassing me every waking moment."

"It was devastating having to see the girl that you loved like a sister turn into the people you used to vent to her about. I would go home and cry till my eyes were dried out, just praying things could magically go back to how they used to."

"That was until I finally realized it never will, and this won't stop until I do something about it."

(the last scenes will have little dialogue and background music)

IN JAIL (THE ENDING):

"... And that's what happened to Camila" detective: "Ok but, what about Sofia?"

END SCENE.

With all of these scenes, we aim to make it a flashback with the last scene being the discussion of the beginning of the tragic events that had occurred, building tension and suspense of the unknown.

There is minimal dialogue as we aim to visually show what's going on more to build more tension and suspense, while still throwing out a few verbal statements to add detail to what's going on. 

The discussion of the script

Reflection:

The potential script clearly outlines each scene and helps us understand what will be filmed and in what order. By organizing the events from the opening to the ending, it makes it easier to visualize how the story will unfold and how the tension will build. The use of a flashback structure adds suspense and keeps the audience curious about what led to the tragic outcome. Having minimal dialogue allows the visuals and characters’ actions to tell the story more effectively. Overall, this plan helps us execute our ideas clearly while creating mystery, tension, and emotional impact.
