CHARACTERS:
CHARLOTTE MOORE AS LILY ROADS
CHRIS SAKER AS JAMES LANE
- AS THE OFFENDER
6TH FORM STUDENTS AS THE PARTY GROUP
(The sound of high heels echo from a black screen and a voice is heard from a phone)
LILY
(Laughing) Yeah, yeah it was so fun thank you!
[Voices from phone heard again]Okay then, see you soon, bye!
(Lily continues to walk down the alley, staggering slightly, as a dark shadow approaches her, and throwing her against the wall)
(Screaming and thrashing about)NO! Get off me! Help!
(Inserts from the previous party are shown as it constantly cuts back to and from the party to the assault)
OFFENDER
(Running finger around Lily’s lips) Shh...
(The offender runs his hands up Lily’s legs as he undoes his belt. A zoom in on Lily’s eyes shows her constantly looking anywhere but in the offender’s eyes and she takes a deep breath in)
SUDDEN CUT TO BLACK
FADE IN FROM BLACK
(Lily staggers to her front door, struggling to fit her key in the lock. Dropping her keys, her fiancé opens the door for her)
JAMES LANE
(Chuckling to himself) Had too much to drink, eh Lils? Who’d you spend the night with?
(Lily, daring not to look at James, just walks past without acknowledging his statement)
(With slight hesitation) Lily? What’s up? Has something happened?
(He goes to grab Lily’s hand but she pulls away quickly)
(Now concerned and sounding stern) Lilith stop this! What the hell has happened? (Shouting) Stop ignoring me Lily! Lily!
(Lily walks into the bathroom shutting the door on James and locking it.)
(Crying slightly) Lily why aren’t you talking to me? Tell me what’s wrong! Come on Lils... Lily?
(Lily sits in the shower with no emotion as water runs down her body. The camera pans away as we still hear the water running)
PAN OUT AND DISSOLVE TO NEXT SCENE
PAN IN FROM PREVIOUS SCENE
[Shot of an empty bedroom]
(Noises are heard of Lily vomiting in the bathroom, and we hear a flush of the toilet.)
[Lily walks into the room]
(Walking past a mirror, she catches her reflection and stands for a few seconds with her hands on her stomach.)
LILY
(Whispering and shaking her head, repeating) No...
(Picks up pillows, bedding etc and throws it at her reflection, shouting)NO!
(She falls on the floor in a hysterical fit and curls up into a ball.)
CAMERA ZOOMS OUT FROM ABOVE AND FADES TO BLACK
END
I like the script and I can envisage what's going on. How would you signify to the viewer that time has passed before Lily realises that she is pregnant?
