An experiment for a short screenplay 1

This screenplay is provided by Tuck, our director teacher. I try to shoot it by camera and edit the pictures by Premiere. And I do a little revision to the screenplay for easy to shoot.

Screenplay:

Fade in from black: white text on black background:

Courage is the belief that there is something more important than personal safety.

Fade to black

Int. Day. Room

HE is sweating. Hard.

SHE stands impassive. Unconcerned.

HE rubs his wrist and we see HE is chained to the chair.

SHE 

(Bright. Breezy)

Are you sure you wouldn’t like a drink?

(smiles)

Never too late to change your mind.

HE

(Afraid)

I swear, I swear. Please. Stop. Please?

SHE

(placing a briefcase in front of the chair)

Shush. Be quiet. It will no longer be necessary to lie.

HE

I swear...

SHE

Shush, shush.

(popping open the case)

I have here a bottle of medicine. God it’s beautiful.

Could you hold it please?

HE

Don’t. Don’t. I swear.
