The script that I wrote for the crew to work from.

The script that I wrote works in conjunction with the storyboard so that the cast and crew know what is to happen. It is not very detailed, and wouldn't be the sort of script that you would sell your idea with, but it is a good working instruction for those involved in making the shoot.

Script
In the middle of a lesson in school, we enter the scene with an (MLS) of the teacher at the front of the class.
“(teacher mid flow)”

The camera then pans around and we get a shot of the whole class. We hear the teacher still talking over the top of the class noise as the camera tracks into Harry(CU), he looks bored and appears to be daydreaming.
The shot fades to black.
We fade into the scene, Harry is laying in the woods. He sits up, looking around in confusion(MCU). The camera tracks out to an establishing shot to reveal his surroundings.
Harry looks around, nervous and confused.
“Hello??”
No answer.
He continues to look around and starts to walk in a general direction, following a stream. He looks down at the stream, the camera tracks in towards the water at what seems to be blood.
(CU) Reaction shot. Harry is frightened, he doesn’t know what is happening. Sounds around the woods are scaring him.
“Hello?? Is anyone hurt?”
Still no answer.
Swish pan as Harry looks around. Fade to black.Fade in to handicam(POV) walking towards some rocks. We then get an (MLS),
