Getting started on our script - rough draft

Hey blog !! It's officially week 3 of working on this project and after extensive research and thought we are going to begin writing our script. My group member Clara made an outline of our script after taking into consideration all of our input. Next class we will discuss the script and make any changes in necessary. 

Office 

 

Scene 1- TINA (40s), a woman with intense eyes and messy hair, hunches over a table piled high with history books. She scribbles furiously in a notebook, muttering complex equations under her breath. Her brow is furrowed in concentration, scratching her head. 

 

CLOSE UP: Tina's hand circles a specific date in a book, then connects it with another date with a red pen. 

 

Scene 2 

 

INT. TINA’S APARTMENT – NIGHT 

 

Tina paces the room, surrounded by whiteboards covered in intricate mathematical formulas. She gestures wildly, connecting lines and circles with markers. Papers with calculations litter the floor. Exhaustion is etched on her face, but her eyes sparkle with excitement. 

 

TINA: 23 days, 28 days, 33 days... It keeps repeating throughout history! 

 

CLOSE UP: Tina's finger traces the sequence "23, 28, 33" written on a whiteboard. A triumphant smile spreads across her face. 

 

Scene 3 

 

INT. TINA'S APARTMENT – DAY 

 

Sunlight streams through the window. Tina is asleep on the couch, her notes and drawings scattered around her. The phone rings, jarring her awake. She scrambles to answer it. 

 

TINA: Hello? 

 

VOICE (O.S.): Tina, it's Mr. Thompson. Get to the office right away. This is urgent. 

Tina turns to the TV, that’s been on and playing the news channel the entire time. 

 

NEWS ANCHOR: Breaking news! Earlier today we got intel that a “pattern” has been discovered throughout history. Cycles of 23, 28, and 33 days seem to keep repeat- (Tina turns the TV off) Tina's eyes widen in realization. A close-up shot of her face shows a mixture of fear and dawning comprehension. (movie title) 

Scene 4 

 

INT. TINA'S OFFICE – DAY 

 

Anna stands before Mr. Thompson, her boss, who is pacing back and forth, his face contorted in anger. Papers are strewn across his desk. 

 

MR. THOMPSON: How could you do this, Tina?! I specifically told you not to share those findings with anyone! Now the whole world knows!
