Third Version of Script

The script below is the script that I produced.

Fade in

Ext. Castle Grounds in Tamworth during the day

Close up of the character holding hands. Zoom out to show that the couple are the same sex (both male). Both characters are teenagers (17/18). One character should be more masculine to challenge stereotypical codes and conventions. The other character should fit the stereotype.

Mattie (v.o) In today’s society, you would think that this would be acceptable. We still get looks in the street but it doesn’t faze us, well, not anymore anyway.

Rewind to 1 year ago which is the beginning of their relationship/story.

Establishing shot of Landau Forte Sixth Form accompanied by the title sequence with music

Cut to a long shot of Mattie at a table with his group of friends. Mattie appears to be texting someone with the name ‘Sam’. 

Mattie POV looking at the messages. Clearly flirty messages.

The phone is snatched out of Mattie’s hands.

Friend 1   (reading text messages in a mocking tone) Aw you’re so cute, we really need to meet soon

Group oo’s

Friend 2  (takes phone out of friend 1’s hand) So who’s Sam then ey? You’re new girlfriend?

Mattie snatches phone from friend 2

Mattie She is just a friend guys (looks back down at phone)

Friend 2   Yeah okay we believe you  (looks at friend 1 and smirks)

Group mocks by doing kisses in the air

Mattie Oh shut up guys (laughs awkwardly) Look I’m going back to lesson now. I’ll see you later

Mattie stands and begins to walk away from the table

Friend 1   (shouting) Don’t have to much fun

Group laughs. Mattie smiles and shakes head

The sound of a received text is heard. Mattie’s POV view to view the message.

Cut to medium close up of Mattie smiling

Mattie then walks off.
