Sound Script

Our film requires minimal dialogue and sound in general but the bits it uses are intended to have more of an impact because of this.

EXT. Playground
(Girl, un-named, sitting alone)

Voice over:
Why am I here?
(gap of silence)
How did I get here?
(gap of silence)
What's going on?

(Rustling noises, fast movement as attacker comes out, some sound effects added to fight, girl stabs attacker, everything is silent. Thud of body hitting ground, loud footsteps as girl walks away. Black screen)

Voice over:
What am I?

All the questions imply a vulnerability to the character but the fight scene shows she is not. This shows that the character reflects human qualities in that she is strong but she still has her doubts and questions as all people do, this helps the audience identify with her.
The question 'What am I?' also implies that the character is somewhat scared of herself as people are naturally scared of what they don't know or understand. Her demeanor seems solid and unflinching but the voice over shows that it is just a front.
The sounds are strong and have more of an impact as most of the scene is quite silent.
