Script Version 1

Texas Home Security Script


INT. FRONT DOOR, HOUSE                                                                                      DAY


The Girl actress walks up to the front door, turns to look back and speaks to her father who is standing behind her watching her leave for her night out.


GIRL ACTRESS

“Well I’m off now so don’t wait up for me.”


MAN ACTRESS

“Have a good time, but don’t stay out too long.”


GIRL ACTRESS

“I won’t, don’t worry.”


MAN ACTRESS

“That’s my Girl.”


MATCH CUT TO


INT. BED, HOUSE                                                                                                                           NIGHT


 The father is sleeping in his bed snoring loudly with his mouth a gape.


CUT TO


INT. FRONT DOOR, HOUSE                                                                                                         NIGHT


Many hours have passed an only now the Girl has come back home, she opens the front door, sounding the alarm system as she stumbles her way in drunkenly. She wobbles her way over to the security system box on the wall which is close to the front door. She pulls out her phone and turns on the torch function and blinds herself for a second. She then begins to fumble at the buttons, being so drunk that she is unable to correctly type in the code and successfully turn off the alarm system. Suddenly the light switch is flipped and the father is standing in the hallway with a pistol and shoots her directly in the head. Her body collapses and the father stares in shock and terror and he realises what he has just done.

Pre Production: Video

Due to Hannah having to work more often and not having enough time to wait, find people willing to be new cast mates and the hand in date being close, I was unable to create the original idea I had and had to make the piece follow the original script, with me being the main character instead of it being a female, I did this as I knew I could film a lot of the scenes myself whilst also acting in them, and then the only scene needing another actor could be Hannah whenever she had free time as she only needs to say one line. Here is the shot list for the advertisement, the shot list follows the new script
