My Script #1

I have come up with a script and monologue for my film opening. Like I have said before the monologue will run over flashbacks in the girls life which the story will be about. The script you will see below is one I am very happy with, during filming the actors  may slip up with their exact lines however as long as it delivers the message I am aiming for and the acting is to a good standard, I shall keep it.

Monologue         

Curiosity is the lust of the mind. It has the power to invade your thoughts making you wonder where you're going to be in a few years or who you may meet that will have the power to influence your life and the way you live it.

Life unfolds in mysterious ways, ways in which you would never expect, there are dreams and wishes, fears and nightmares, you can go for them, or you can hide from them. My story's a little more complex that that..but the real question, how do you separate what's in your head from reality? and how do you know when to stop?.

Scene 1

TEACHER: *places bad test paper on the desk* How about you come and see me at the end of the lesson?

HAZEL: *sighs and nods*

TEACHER: Hazel, I know you're trying hard but look, here's a list of some books that could help you leading up to the exam, you might find them in the library.

HAZEL: Ok, thanks

TEACHER: Alright, have a nice weekend.

Scene 2

*Hazel walking up into the library then looking through books*

LIBRARIAN: Oh hello there Hazel, can I help you with anything?

HAZEL: Oh I was just looking for some books

LIBRARIAN: Alright, we have a box full of old ones over there, you can have a rummage if you like

*Hazel walks up to and rummages through the box*

HAZEL: Umm, could I take this?

LIBRARIAN: of course! Take as many as you like they'll all be thrown out by tomorrow

HAZEL: thanks *walks out putting book into bag, leaving teachers list in the library*

Scene 3

*little montage of Hazel reading the book*

HAZEL: *reads passage from book* ..and on her 18th birthday she was given her grandmothers old engagement ring...

*Hazel immediately stands and rummages through her belongings to find the engagement ring her grandmother gave her*.
