Script

This script is for the scenes that involve speech.  I did not write a script for the shots that did not include speech or any dialogue. 

Opening scene – black screen

ELLIE

 

“Dreams. Nightmares. Ghosts. Hallucinations. Things that go bump in the night. All these ridiculous theories. That I have considered.”

“But still no answers.”

GIRL

*laughs*

Protagonist is lying in her bed. Extreme close up of her eyes opening.

DOCTOR

“There is a new pill called Psylotocine, but it’s still in the testing stage. We don’t know if it works on humans.”

ELLIE

(Desperately)

“I’ll try anything! Please.”

Cut transition. Extreme close of the doctor giving Ellie the medication. Slow motion . Ellie looks relieved yet a little anxious.   

 

Fade up transition to a long shot of a gentleman looking past the camera as if looking at someone.

MAN:

(Shocked)

“WOW! You look amazing!”

Pan left to reveal a healthier looking protagonist as she walks towards the man, camera tracks backwards. She kisses the man on the cheek.

ELLIE:

“I’m finally happy.”

Fade to black transition.
