Script for Mini Brief

Script for Mini Brief:

Before we started to film our mini brief, we needed to write a script for the sequence. As we wanted our sequence to be about a football player who got injured, we had a football player and a doctor. We also wanted to have a sad ending with the doctor saying its bad news to the player. We wanted to make the sequence very emotional, and have the main aim of provoking a reaction from the audience by making them feel for the player.


Main characters:


Adam – Aspiring footballer hoping to move up the ranks of his football club West Ham, but something tragic gets in the way of his progress



Doctor – Explains to Adam what the situation



SCRIPT:

(Screen comes on but in the medical room)



(Door opens doctor walks in)



Doctor: Morning Adam



Adam: wait what…..where am I? What’s happened? Who are you......? Why am I not on the pitch!



Doctor: Calm down, Calm down just let me explain the situation. So you don’t remember anything at all?



Adam: NO! Tell me what’s going on



Doctor: breathe Adam, so what’s happened is yesterday you were involved in an accident in your game



Adam: YESTERDAY! What happened…….? Did we win?



Doctor: Basically it’s not good news, we have x-rayed you and you have several bones broken in your leg and severe damage to your ligaments



(Pause)



Adam: so what does that mean to my career?



Doctor: you’ll be booked in for surgery on your right leg and you’ll look to be out for the next 2 years
