The Script To Our Movie

‘Daddy’s Girl’ Script:

*a policeman pulls up outside of a suburban house, in a perfectly normal suburban area and we then switch to inside a bathroom where a girl is staring in the mirror, muttering to herself*

*Simple Plan- Could Be Perfect is heard in the background*

*a pause as we have a long shot to establish the setting as girl still looks in the mirror and then an Extreme Close Up of her eyes*

*hearing argument of parents*

Father: “YOU WANTED THIS CHILD SO NOW YOU LOOK AFTER IT! I STAYED WITH YOU BECAUSE I LOVE YOU—NOT FOR THAT CHILD! I COULD HAVE GONE TO UNIVERSITY AND MADE SOMETHING OF MYSELF BUT I DIDN’T JUST FOR YOU NOT THE CHILD. THIS IS WHAT I GET!”

Mother: “STOP SHOUTING! NOBODY ASKED YOU TO STAY! HAVE SOME  CONSIDERATION ABOUT OUR CHILD AND HOW YOU ACTING LIKE THIS COULD AFFECT HER FUTURE! YOU ONLY THINK ABOUT YOURSELF SO FOR ONCE JUST BE A FATHER AND FACE THE RESPONCIBILITES!”

*Close up of her washing hands as we hear a knock at the front door, Girl jumps and picks up the speed of washing her hands*

*Descending the stairs, still with a steady stream of muttering*

*opens door and see an over the shoulder shot of policeman*

Policeman/woman: “Good evening miss, we received a call from the neighbours about a noise complaint from your house.”

Girl: (with a light laugh to cover anxiety) “Oh no, that was just the TV, I couldn’t find the remote but I turned it off now. I’m sorry if it disturbed anyone.”

Policeman/woman: (narrows eyes): “Well alright, but be sure to turn it down next time. Have some consideration for your neighbours.”

Girl: (starting to close door): “Yes, yes, of course, have a good day sir.”

Policeman/woman: (in a crisp voice): “Have a good evening miss, sorry for bothering you.”

*Girl smiles politely and closes door as we see the relief on her face*

*Walking to her room*

Girl (inner monologue): “God, that was too freaking close. What would have happened if I’d just been that much slower washing my hands? Man, the house sure is quiet.”

*In bedroom looking for a family photograph*

*Once found, Girl looks at it with a spiteful expression*

Girl: (inner monologue): “My family. Look at them, all happy and smiling. It makes me sick.”

*Without any hesitation, she rips up part of photo which had father in it*

Girl (inner monologue): “There. That’s him out of my life. My daddy, even though I’m not sure if he even deserves to be called that.”

*cuts to the title of ‘Daddy’s Girl’ written in blood on wall and opening ends there*

So this is our final edit of the script that we used in our opening sequence but as it is an opening sequence we couldn't have a lot of dialouge as otherwise that would take away the tension from the opening and our opening is supposed to be suspencful.
