This is our current script for the 5-10 minute film. We're meeting with the main actors later today to discuss their dialogue and whether they are comfortable saying the more explicit dialogue or if they have any suggestion to improve their dialogue. As a production team we're happy with the script. The narrative of the film is and sequence of different shots in a non-linear order is shown as accurately as possible. This will aid the production and the time efficiency of shooting the film. We will be able to follow the script as a guide along side the storyboard. This will allow us to remember each shot which needs to be filmed for each scene.

afterwards. Harry tries to get in touch with Ryan via phone
calls, but for a long time there is no answer.

Ryan's phone is ringing and it is clear that it is Harry.
Ryan cancels the calls and continues typing on his computer.
After sometime, Ryan finally answers Harry call and says.
RYAN: I'm swamped with work Harry,
I'm not gonna' be able to make it!
CUTS TO: INT. NIGHT. RECORDING STUDIO.
HARRY: Pfft. Well are you still
gonna' take me home later on at
8(pm) as you promised? It's a long
walk home with my guitar, it's
heavy, it weighs me down, and it's
late, that's why I asked you.

been busy with work but I'm on my
way to pick you up in the car.
HARRY: I'm fucking walking home
Ryan, don't bother. You always do
this, make bull shit promises you
can't keep. You're not interested
in anything I do, you're the
wankest brother ever!
Harry hangs up the phone…

and talking to their Mother; who is lent on the kitchen side
across from Ryan with a cup of tea in her hand.
Ryan's bragging to their Mother about how well he is doing
at work. As Ryan brags more and the conversation continues,
Harry increasingly plays louder and louder until their
Mother says,
MOTHER: Harry turn that down!
(Pause) God, I wish you were more
like your brother; more bothered
about a career rather than that
useless thing you spend all your
time on!
