Script Revisions

The following script is most likely our final version once we fix the format and clean up the notes we took on the document. 

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, what the hell did you do? 

Tina:  what?

Boss: Have you not seen the news? Get to the office!

Tina changes the channel, 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. (hangs up phone)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. 

Scene 4

SCENE 5

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!


Misc en scene Ideas:

HOUSE- 

Clothing- Tina, silk pjs 

Table- History books everywhere, old style papers

Walking out- silk pjs but fancy shoes, blazer and pants on your shoulder

CAR- regular looking

Getting out of car: blazer on and putting pants on 

OFFICE- TINA, Blazer, pants, fancy shoes. 

BOSS- Colorful fancy clothes, pink circle glasses


We mostly altered the end of the script and added more to continue developing the story. We will start with filming the news extract first which will be done next week!!!
