Sound

As I am in charge of sound I am starting to look at sounds that could be included within our Short film, after looking at how our film is going to look, I have decided to get a few different sounds, such as some fast tempo music for the drinking scene, Some slower tempo music with some strings involved for after the protagonist has smoked the drugs and is in the state were he does not know whats going on, I am also going to look at a possible inclusion of some reggae music for whilst he is actually smoking the drugs.

Billy proceeds to put his suitcase on the side, he goes into the fridge and gets himself a beer, he goes to the draws and gets the bottle opener out, opens his beer and goes towards the living room, once he’s entered he collapses back into the sofa and lets out a huge sigh of relief.

Billy

“Finally!” (in a relieved fashion)

Billy sits there watching the TV and having several more beers, after each one he’s looking at his watch more and more in anticipation of his friend coming over, in the end he decides it’s taking too long and he goes up the stairs to his bedroom where he pulls out a tin from underneath his bed, he pulls open the tin and inside is Billy’s drugs, he takes the tin downstairs, he pulls out some of his papers and puts a pinch of  the drugs on the paper and rolls it, he lights it up and smokes away. Due to Billy smoking all his half of the drugs and his friend being late he decides to finish the drugs off. After all the drink and drugs that Billy has had he falls asleep on the sofa, after half an hour or so, Billy hears the door open which wakes him, still in a drug fuelled state Billy’s vision is blurry and distorted, he sees a figure but can’t make out what it is, he thinks it is someone invading his home so he shouts at the figure however can’t really make words out because of the state he’s in.

Billy

“Get out of here! Go Away!” (Mumbling loudly)

Billy is getting increasingly threatened and very annoyed, he hears the figure talk however it’s in a menacing low pitch voice and he cannot understand.

Figure (Stacey)

“It’s me Billy! I brought you this back.” (In a monotone hard to understand voice)

Stacey goes to hands over the screw driver that she borrowed off Billy, Billy thinks that she is attacking him and grabs a knife from the top of the kitchen side.

 

Figure (Stacey)

“Billy! Billy what are you doing!?” (In a monotone hard to understand voice)

Billy

“Get away from me!” (Shouting)

In a swift motion Billy takes the knife he is holding and stabs Stacey in the stomach.

Figure (Stacey)

“…*Cough/splutter*” (Gasping for air)

Billy has no idea what’s happening and blacks out. He wakes up in the morning in his bedroom; he wonders about what a crazy dream he had the previous night.

Billy

“What a crazy dream!”

As he sits up the blood soaked knife which he used to kill his friend who’s blood soaked corpse still lays downstairs is on the floor of his bedroom, the camera focuses on the knife as Billy blurs out in the background.
