Final script

After some extensive script development on Joe’s part, he gave it to me to look at with some fresh eyes, so I proof read it as we want the best script which is not too complicated. We want to make the conventions clear. All dialogue in the script appears in red text to differentiate from the stage directions.

‘THE NOISE’
BY JOE SMITH


EXT. HOUSE
Isolated, quiet at night time


INT. LIVING ROOM
LUCY, a teenage girl, is lounging on the sofa reading a book. She is very focused on reading and the room is silent. All of a sudden a phone rings loudly. LUCY puts the book to one side and gets up and leaves the room


INT. KITCHEN
LUCY walks up to the phone and picks it up
LUCYHello?
(The sound of white noise is the only thing audible from the phone)Hello? Hello?
LUCY looks at the phone slightly puzzled and then puts it back down


INT. LIVING ROOM
CUT to LUCY sitting back down, getting comfortable and starting to read again. Almost immediately the phone can be heard again. LUCY sighs and gets back up and leaves the room


INT. KITCHEN
CUT to LUCY picking up the phone
LUCYHello?
(White noise can be heard again from the phone. Lucy looks slightly annoyed and confused)Hello? I can’t hear you
LUCY puts the phone down again. As she is just leaving the room the phone rings again. LUCY looks around looking more irritated. She walks up to the phone


LUCYHello?
LUCY sighs at the sound of white noise and then puts the phone down and unplugs it. As LUCY walks away, all of the lights briefly turn off. After some shuffling around, the lights come back on. LUCY looks around confused, and then leaves the room.


INT. LIVING ROOM
LUCY enters the room and then freezes on the spot as she notices that the pages of her book have been torn out and scattered over the floor. LUCY gasps and backs away and as she does this she bumps into a figure. She turns and screams


CUT TO TITLES
