The Final Script

This is the final draft of the script for our film opening.  We chose to (against the possible better judgement of others) revolve our film opening around the dialogue between four people, so it is massively important that our script is funny, and includes romantic connotations. When writing this, we used ideas from the whole group, and (hopefully) have a good, funny and flirtatious script, that follows the convention of our genre.

Script

Lucy – Yes! (Frustrated)…Okay Mum! We’ll be with you in 5, see you soon…okay….bye! (Hangs up, puts phone in hand bag). Right we’ve got 5 minutes…
