Draft 1 of Script

 

  1. INT. DAY.

 

The clock near the ceiling is shown before NADINE walks into the kitchen. NADINE see’s the knife on the edge of the centre kitchen counter and stops walking.

 

2) NIGHT. RED LIGHTING (if possible)

 

NADINE is holding the knife in the corridor. (Not literally, it’s in her head).

 

3) INT. DAY.

 

NADINE is still in the same place in the kitchen as before.

 

NADINE V/O

MUM could easily hurt herself, it’s too close to the edge. Just move it.

 

NADINE walks slowly over but doesn’t get there yet.

 

4) NIGHT. RED LIGHTING (if possible)

 

NADINE is holding the knife by her side in the corridor like before. She starts to walk into the living room.

 

NADINE V/O

Stop it

 

The room fades for a second before being clear again. NADINE continues to walk.

 

 

NADINE V/0

(elongated) stop. Please stop, stop

 

The room fades for a second before getting clear again while NADINE walks faster. She raises the knife, there’s screams but we see nothing as the screams come from around the corner.

 

 

5) INT. DAY.

 

NADINE is in the kitchen still and she is now leaning on the side kitchen counter.

 

NADINE

(annoyed and upset) Stop for god’s sake stop it stop

 

 

NADINE V/O

I still need to move the knife

 

 

She walks slowly towards the knife and stops briefly while doing so before moving the knife to the centre of the counter. She takes a deep breath out.

 

NADINE walks over to the sink where she washes her hands twice and shakes them dry four times. After her hands are dry, she gets kitchen roll to cover her hands as she begins to make cereal.

 

NADINE has finished making the cereal and places it on the side counter. NADINE then examines multiple spoons before picking one to use.

 

 

6) INT. DAY.

 

NADINE walks into the living room and sits down on the sofa. She taps her spoon four times on the edge of her bowl before eating and uses TV remotes covered in tissue to turn on the TV which plays quietly in the background.

 

 

MUM

Morning sweetheart

NADINE

Morning

 

NADINE smiles at her MUM.

 

MUM

Are you alright?

NADINE

I’m alright thanks, you?

MUM

I’m fine thanks

 

The MUM leaves the room.

 

 

 

7) INT. DAY.

 

NADINE finishes getting changed before heading to the front door with her bag ready to leave.

 

MUM

You’re leaving already?

NADINE

Yeah, but I’ll be home around 3, see you later

MUM

Bye darling

The MUM goes to hug NADINE who instead of hugging back gives a thumbs up and leaves. The MUM who appears sad pauses before walking into her room and shutting her door.
