Scripting Part 1

The only block of dialogue that we will need to script is for the end of our trailer when the child is forced to participate in a ransom video and says the words given to her by the kidnapper.

During our first filming session, we briefly scripted the below text to see what worked with our actress, which we would later develop.


 

'Mum, It's me,

Don't worry, It's fine,

I'm okay.

I've been taken by these men,

Please help, help me.'

On reflection we thought the passage is slightly contradictory. She says 'Don't worry I'm fine' didn't give the correct effect of having the child begging for help. 

We have altered the script to this - 

Mum, It's me,

Please help, I've been taken. 

I'm scared,

They want your money,

Please help, help me.
