INDIVIDUALITY
FINAL DRAFT
(DRAFT 2)
FADE IN
1. EXT. FOREST- NIGHT
(The forest is dark and damp, it’s about 5 in the morning and the light is slowly being drained as the sunlight seeps through the trees. The forest is thick with no open space for miles you can only assume she is a long way from a road.)
VARIOUS SHOT’S to show her running through the forest
Miah (V.O)
My name is Miah Ann Sheer. I don’t know how long I’ve been running for; I just know I’m running from myself, there’s something or someone else inside me. Stop running! This thing is bad, it makes me do things, evil things. I’m no longer afraid; I must face the truth, everything is spinning. I know that the truth is my only salvation, and this is my only comfort now… [BEAT]
CLOSE UP of Fraya’s lifeless face
Frayyyaaaaa… Fraayyyaaa… (Whispered in a low voice)
2. INT- STUDIO- DAY-*FLASHBACK*
(The studio is a wide open space, one of the walls is covered in long mirrors. Miah and her sister practice their ballet here)
VARIOUS SHOTS as they both dance around each other silently showing their feet and body’s twisting and turning but never touching
Miah (V.O)
I remember when we danced. I know I can let myself go without feeling it inside. Fraya is my sister, our friendship shattered and irreparable all because I once let this thing inside take over. I let it hurt you, it wasn’t me, I promise. Still unforgiven after all these years we dance so close yet so far apart and the silence is our normality now.
MID SHOT of fraya’s lifeless face and someone’s legs walking slowly up behind her from out of a car
Frayyyaaaa… Fraya I’m sorry.
Miah (V.O)
I promised I wouldn’t lose control again, but something is happening. It’s coming… I see you … dead Fraya, Dead Fraya, Dead Frayaaa. It’s coming… I’m here! I had to leave; I knew you weren’t safe with me…
MEDIUM/ CLOSE UP as Miah stops dancing and looks up crying, Fraya continues to dance around her. (music gets louder and then suddenly stops)
3. INT. THE HOUSE- NGIHT *FLASHBACK*
VARIOUS SHOTS as Miah carries out her normal evening, takes her ballet shoes off, washing her hair, closing the curtains, looking in the mirror and climbing into bed.
CLOSE UP as she closed her eyes
(The phone rings)
CLOSE UP as her eyes opens quickly
Miah (V.O)
I got the call around 12, I think you said you were ill, and I had to come get you, come and help you.
4. EXT. THE ROAD- NIGHT *FLASHBACK*
WIDE SHOT as head lights of the car are turned on
Miah (V.O)
I went to find her, I was coming to get you Fraya …
5. EXT. FOREST- NIGHT
CLOSE UP of her eyes they are fully closed until you hear the scream and then they tears roll down her cheek she never opens her eyes
Miah (V.O)
I could see you. I could feel it pushing me from the inside out, I tried to stop it, but it wanted to kill.
CLOSE UP of Miah’s eyes opening
Miah (V.O)
I swerved, I hit her. Silence… it was strangely normal between us.
6. EXT. ROAD- NGIHT *FLASHBACK*
(the empty road is near a forest, there is a single car and Miah is slowly climbing out. Fraya is lying lifeless on the floor, Miah walks towards her)
LONG SHOT as Miah climbs out the car and walks slowly towards Fraya
MID SHOT as Miah cries, cradling her sisters lifeless body
Miah (V.O)
You looked up at me, your eyes terrified and filled with pain, I just held you tightly in my arms, until you took your last breath.
7. EXT. FOREST. NIGHT *FLASHBACK*
CLOSE UP of her face she smiles
Miah (V.O)
So how did I get here…well I ran, and I didn’t stop, the demon is closing back, coming to drag me to hell, I’m dangerous no one is safe.
FADE OUT.
