Script (draft)

Script (Final) – Never Ending

The first scene is shot in the ‘present’ and this shows the audience that something is wrong in the relationship. It’s set in either a kitchen/ bedroom. They’re arguing and they feel upset about each other. Ruben wants to mend the relationship but Jamie’s too stubborn to apologise.

*Shouting and screaming at each other in the other room*

*Jamie storms into room angrily*

*Ruben follows after her*

R: *in a demanding tone and grabs her arm* “come back here” *pulls Jamie closer by the arm*  

J: *offended* “get your hand off me”

R: “I don’t understand why you’re getting upset about this”

J: *sarcastic facial expression* “Upset?” *slight pause* “I’m not upset” *smiles*

R: “I can’t deal with this right now”  *storms off* “I’m going out, I’ll see you tomorrow” *exits*

J: *watches him leave*

    *Anger builds up, picks up picture frame and throws it at the door*

J: (VOICEOVER) “It was never meant to happen like this. It started out really good”

The picture in the frame was actually taken on their first date. This takes us to the second scene which is a flashback to the ‘past.’ It is set in a café and the two characters are having a conversation, trying to get to know each other.

R: *attempts to compliment her* “You look really nice today. I’m glad you returned my call.”

J: *smiles*

R: *smiles back* “So… How was your day?”

J: “It wasn’t too bad except this morning I accidentally spilt coffee on myself” *nervous laugh*

J: (VOICEOVER) “I tried my best to spice up the conversation, but fortunately so far he seemed like a nice guy.”

R: “What are your interests?”

J: “Interpreted dancing, art and culture. What about you?”

R: *enthusiastically* “I love sport but mainly football”

J: *supportive* “Oh that’s pretty cool.” “So what team do you play for?”

R: “(Insert team name)”

J:

For the final script we changed the script by adding only one voiceover and making the conversation flow by adding lines which made them seem interested in each other.
