Our Script!

 Hey guys! For our film, we need to set up a script or a storyboard. Due to the time crunch we're in, we decided that it was easier for us to work on our script this week. It was honestly really difficult to work on our script since we needed to find the right words to make sure it was not cringy. We have a really good idea of how we want our film to go, and that definitely helps our script. Here is our script! Some of the things might change, but I will keep you guys updated!

SHOOTING SCRIPT

February 14, 2025 

“FILM TITLE AGAIN”

Screen opens with a montage of JORDYN DIAZ and AMELIA JACKSON, photos/videos of them as children displayed on the screen.

JORDYN (V.O.)

I’ve known Amelia Jackson ever since the first day of sixth grade, and we have been inseparable ever since. We do absolutely EVERYTHING together

A montage of photos of Jordyn and Amelia flash across the screen, emphasizing their time spent together over the years.

INT. BEDROOM - DAY  

JORDYN’S BEDROOM. POSTERS ALL OVER THE WALL, HIGHLY DECORATED. A PILE OF CLEAN LAUNDRY LIES ON THE BED BESIDE AMELIA. SUNLIGHT FILTERS THROUGH THE WINDOW.

JORDYN sits at her desk writing in a notebook (offscreen), AMELIA is behind her laying on the bed, reading a book.

 JORDYN: 

(To Audience)

 Since it’s FINALLY our last year of high school, I decided that we needed a change of pace. 

AMELIA (checking her phone: the time reads “7:30”)

AMELIA: 

(Panicked)

 Oh god, it’s 7:30 already. (grabbing her bag) We're gonna be so late !! 

 AMELIA scrambles out of bed, EXITING and shutting the door behind her. CLICK. 

JORDYN puts away the journal she has been writing in. She fumbles with her bag. The door reopens. 

AMELIA:

Hurry up !!

JORDYN: TBD

(To Audience) 

Alright, guys, I’ll be right back, I have to go to school…

JORDYN grabs her bag, covering the screen (playful) 

BLACK SCREEN 

MAIN TITLES 

SCHOOL BELL RINGS. MUSIC BEGINS.

EXT. SCHOOL 

BUSY HALLWAY. STUDENTS LINGERING IN THE HALLS. LOUD TALKING. WE HEAR BITS AND PIECES OF TYPICAL ‘HIGH SCHOOL’ CONVERSATIONS/TALK.  

JORDYN and AMELIA walk through the busy hall, AMELIA is reading from the journal JORDYN had been writing in previously. JORDYN (expectant) waits for a reaction from AMELIA. AMELIA looks up from the journal, her expression unreadable.

AMELIA: 

(Exasperated) 

No…No way. A bucket list? 

Okay, one: that is (emphasized) SO cliche 

Two: How would we even do all this?

AMELIA begins to ramble, her voice fading out. JORDYN turns to the camera, rolling her eyes and grinning (playful)

JORDYN: 

(To audience about AMELIA)

She’s always like this. But she’s right.. (quickly) don’t tell her I said that. 

 I’ve gotta have a foolproof plan if she’s gonna go along with this. (frustrated) How can we even (emphasized) BEGIN to tackle the list? 

Still addressing the audience, JORDYN glances up and spots her solution. (Off-camera)

JORDYN:

(Looking back to Audience)

(Grinning) Talk about convenient. 

AMELIA’S voice fades back in, her arms crossed as she finishes her rant about how absolutely impossible JORDYN’S goal is.

AMELIA:

(annoyed) Jordyn?

JORDYN: 

(dismissive)

AMELIA: 

Hellooo, are you even listening?  Come on, we’re gonna be late-

JORDYN: 

(cutting AMELIA off)

 (Grabbing AMELIA’S shoulder) Amy (AMELIA) look, I just found our solution. 

JORDYN makes her way to the other side of the hallway, ripping the poster from the top of a board that she had spotted during her tangent.

JORDYN shoves the poster in AMELIA’S hands and reaches into her book bag to grab her journal. They flip through the pages of the bucket list until they find the right one. 

JORDYN, AMELIA: 

(AMELIA still looking down at the journal and JORDYN looks up at the audience)

List Item Number Seventeen, spend the night at a park

The item of the bucket list pops up on the screen it reads: #17 

JORDYN pulls AMELIA away to walk to class. The screen focuses on the poster, making the writing legible to the audience. Afterward, students start to walk across the hallway losing focus on the poster 

Picture of me working on the script in a Washington D.C. hotel!
