Module 1: Introduction To Screen Media Practise #6
Rob Here, Just a quick note to give the second draft of the Pandora Script. Any feedback would be welcome. As you can see, it actually looks like a script and contains all of the neccessary details, unlike draft one which was the voice over- which I have cut down greatly.
FADE IN: EXT: DAY LIBERTAS CITY WASTELAND
The wasteland outside Libertas with the huge city in the centre, there is fog over the land.
NARRATOR
The city of Libertas , in this rich sprawling dystopia our story begins here, in the most impoverished area with a girl called...
EXT: DAY LIBERTAS CITY GATES
Just outside the city gates the streets are full of rubble and debris, there is a light mist between the high rise ruins.
EXT: DAY LIBERTAS CITY POOR DISTRICT
Beyond a ruined motorway overpass, lies the poor district of Libertas, in the centre of the ruined area of the city.
INT: DAY SCHOOL ROOM
Pandora finishes an exam by writing her name on the front; the handwriting is very artistic and shows individuality.
NARRATOR
Pandora.
As she stands up from her seat, everyone else in her class turns suddenly to face her, even her teacher. Everyone else has a white mask on their face, giving one consistently blank expression. She paces up to the teachers desk and puts her paper down and leaves.
EXT: DAY LIBERTAS STREETS
She walks alone down streets past groups of Libertans, as she turns to look behind her, they all suddenly turn to face her so she quickly walks home. When she gets home she types the key code into the keypad and enters.
NARRATOR
She lived amongst the faceless Libertans, A single light in the darkness. The Libertans removed all signs of human emotion from public view, cementing the world to a cold existence.
INT: DAY PANDORA’S HOUSE
She throws her bag onto her bed and opens her laptop. She tries to just surf the internet but every site she tries flashes up as ‘BLOCKED’. Her father comes to the door silently and places a large box at her doorstep, we never see his face to see whether he is human or Libertan. She stands up and walks to the door, grabs the box which the audience can see clearly marked ‘contrabanned’ and she tips the contents out upside-down onto her bed, it is full of her laundry. On the top of the pile of her laundry is a small black rubix cube- like box with one blue square. She glances at it knowing that she shouldn’t ever do anything with it but as it was only a black box it could cause no harm. She places it at the far end of her desk from her laptop.
INT: PANDORA’S ROOM DAY/NIGHT
Every day and night the cube would move inch by inch closer towards her at her laptop, eventually ending beside her laptop.
When she places her hand on it accidentally, she picks it up and slams it on the table- frustrated at the blocked sites on her laptop. She looks at the cube and knocks it down the length of the table and onto the floor. It bounces and when it lands still it begins to solve itself, clicking and whirring around. Pandora hears the loud clicking and spinning sound, out of the top of the cube rises a small black USB flash drive.
She grabs it and instantly places it into the USB slot on her laptop, thousands of apocalyptic images flood the screen penetrating into Pandora’s mind as she struggles to turn away. She tries to bang keys to make it stop, pull out the USB stick and cut the power lead. Nothing works, as she pulls the power lead the screen cuts to black- with ‘100% UPLOADED’ on the screen.
FADE TO BLACK
I have also completed the storyboards for both of my myth videos which I will scan in and post in due course.
Rob.
