Script for Sea Food



Finally I have finished the script for the story I previously posted. For this I have made a slideshow video with some possible locations and the eerie sound that influenced its creation.



Scene 1

INT: Locker Room – Night

A group of boys run around the locker room. PETER and BEN are stood at their lockers near to each other as they crouch down to change out of their football clothes. BEN stands next to the mirror on the locker door whilst putting on layers of aftershave and checking his hair as PETER looks at him in playful disgust. BEN passes him the comb and PETER starts to comb his hair. BEN taps PETER playfully on the shoulder.
BEN
‘I can’t thank you enough for setting me up with Laura’

PETER nods as BEN closes his locker and walks away. BEN goes to shut his locker but stops to stare at a picture of the two boys and girlfriend.

PETER
(Sighs)

INT: Football club – Night

PETER and BEN walk past the many tables to the exit. The CAPTAIN is leaning on a large table with a group of football players and a white board talking strategy. When he sees the two boys the CAPTAIN looks up and stops talking.

CAPTAIN
‘You boys be careful’ (Laughs)

BEN looks at PETER wondering what he is on about. PETER shakes his head and shrugs his shoulder as he hurries BEN towards the door. The CAPTAIN dismisses the football players, has a drink of water from his sports bottle, and stands to leave. As the CAPTAIN walks away from the table he rests his newspaper down to reveal the front headline ‘Harbor Boy Found Mauled’.

Scene 2

INT: Girls Bedroom – Night

LAURA is stood by a large mirror holding a pair of hair straightners whilst KATE is sat on the bed leaning over to her desk trying out different types of perfume.

KATE
‘So. How’s things going with Ben?’

LAURA rests the hair straightners by the sink and passes a hand through her hair. LAURA picks up a heart locket with a picture of her and BEN inside, closes it and places it round her neck. KATE sits up from the bed and places both her hands round LAURA’s neck to fasten the locket.

LAURA
‘Really well’

KATE puts her hands down and stands up to walk over to the mirror.

KATE
‘What about Peter, he still jealous?’

KATE turns he head and smiles sarcastically towards LAURA. LAURA glares at KATE as she sits down on the bed and starts to put her high-healed shoes on.

Scene 3
EXT: Harbor – Night

PETER and BEN walk through the harbor gazing at the boats as they walk past. BEN pulls a score sheet from his pocket and starts to count the numbers. PETER raises his hands out into the air and looks up as if he is admiring the boats. BEN, still counting the numbers doesn’t raise his head from the score sheet but turns to his side as if to speak.

BEN
‘Who scored in the 26th min...'

Ben looks up and realizes there is no one there. A gust of wind then rattles the boats and blows the score sheet out of BEN’s hands. BEN looks around confused.

BEN
‘Peter?’ (Shouting) ‘Peter’

Looking around BEN looks scared as he wonders around the boats, crouching down to look around them. The sound of footsteps makes BEN run round the corner to see if PETER is there. BEN stands on a large object and feels it is soft. Wondering what it is BEN slowly looks down and sees it is the captains half eaten body. BEN places his hand on his mouth and runs over to the wall, leaning over as if to be sick. PETER then places his hand on BEN’s back so that BEN can hear him breathing heavily. BEN turns around slowly and sees PETER stood behind him. PETER then lunges into BEN knocking him onto the floor and then starts to eat. This reveals the sign on the wall, 'sunset paradise cruises’. The sound of the boats continues to creek as BEN falls unconscious from the shock.

Scene 4

EXT: Bus stop – Night

A bus approaches and stops letting LAURA and KATE off the bus. LAURA and KATE both look around as there is no sign of the two boys and KATE checks her watch to see what the time is.

PETER
‘Hello ladies’

KATE and LAURA both jump as PETER walks in between them as he approaches from behind. PETER turns and then smiles at LAURA putting out his hand to hers. LAURA looks at PETER slightly confused.

PETER
‘Ben couldn’t make it’
LAURA looks slightly disappointed but then smiles as PETER links arms with her and starts to walk her away.

KATE
‘So are we still eating?’

PETER looks sick at the thought of food and places his hand over his stomach.

PETER
‘I’m full’
