Preliminary task

Rough ideas for Preliminary Task:

• Kidnapping - Threatening, Guns
• Scary horror scene - creepy hallways
• Bullying
• Awkward Lunch with a work colleague
• Intense build up of actor walking through numerous corridors backed by intense music whilst a second actor is sat silently in a classroom, the scene quickly becomes intense to awkward and comedic.

Plan for official shoot:

• Begins with an establishing shot of outside sixth form building
• Cuts immediately to a close up shot of double doors that stay still and silent for a few seconds, only to be broken by Actor 1 bursting through them.
• Some form of intense music will begin as he does this
• Another intense shot of Actor 1 walking through corridors as intense music continues.
• Music stops as the scene cuts to a shot of Actor 2 sat silently in a room, completing some work etc.
• Music begins again as another intense shot of Actor 1 bursting through doors attempting to find Actor 2 is cut to.
• Intense scenes of Actor 1 searching for his hostage continue with intense music but are split up by scenes with no music showcasing Actor 2 sat silently in a room working.
• Actor 1 finally enters the correct room and dialogue with Actor 2 begins. (See Script)

Rough Script




Actor 1 - Will Dallison
Actor 2 - Sam Claxton





(Actor 1 bursts through the door and looks hard at Actor 2, whilst clenching his fists)


Actor 1: I've been looking for you everywhere.
Actor 2: Oh okay, why? (Confused)
Actor 1: well, I've been told that you.. (phone rings) .. give me second (pulls phone out of pocket and shot changes to an over the shoulder shot of the phone that reads "Mummykins calling")
Actor 1: (under his breath) oh for.. sake.. (answers phone)
Actor 1: Hello? Oh mum, for gods sake I'm in the middle of something pretty important, okay super quick
(Stays silent for a second)
Actor 1: (Under his breath and close to the phone) Yes I'd like some chicken dippers put in the oven for my dinner
Actor 1: (Louder and more manly) Alright, yep, okay, yep, thank you for that, love you too mummy (ends call)
Actor 2: Everything alright?
Actor 1: uhh, yeah, you know what, I'm gonna leave this for today, have a nice day and uhh, I'll see you around


(Actor 2 exits the room awkwardly and the scene ends)
