Script

Zombie Alex sat in the corner of the building – As Winter Burns White editing. Slowly zoom in on him.

Alex: Over the last few days something’s been happening to me, I’m not sure what it is, but I know it’s taking over. I don’t remember much of my old life, the last real memory I have is of how I became this, this thing.

As Alex says “thing” it cuts to a close up as Alex looks at the camera, breaking the fourth wall.

NEXT SCENE

On the phone to Kirsty

Alex: I was just wondering what time you wanted to meet up tonight - pause – Ok, I’ll see you then. At marina right? - pause - Alright, I’m looking forward to seeing you, bye.

“Kirsty end call shot” Alex starts getting ready, using the camera as a mirror, breaking the fourth wall again. Does his hair, chooses a shirt (white), picking up his keys, phone, wallet & putting his shoes on. Walks out the front door to his car (match on action) humming to himself, or something to show he is happy. Shots of Alex getting in his car (Another match on action) and turning the ignition. Fade out as Alex sets off to show the passage of time.

NEXT SCENE

Fades back in as he pulls up to marina. Alex steps of the car and walks over to a bench to wait for Kirsty. After a few seconds of waiting Kirsty comes up behind him and playfully covers his eyes. (This shows how close they are) He gets up and they greet each other properly. They start to walk up the marina whilst having a conversation. Montage of the date with “A Day to Remember – You had me at hello” playing over the top of it. (Holding hands walking towards the camera shot)

Alex gets a phone call.

Alex: Hello? Right calm down I can’t understand what you’re saying. Ok ok, ok I’ll be there soon. Bye

Alex (speaking to Kirsty): I’m sorry, I have to go, my Dad’s been in a car accident.

Kirsty: I’m sorry to hear that, I hope everything’s ok. I guess you’d better go then, good job as well, I’m starting to feel a little bit ill.

Alex: Oh really what’s wrong?

Kirsty: I’m not really sure, my head hurts and my body aches, my vision’s been acting up. Been feeling like this for a few days though, but it’s nothing I can’t handle.

Alex: Ok, well, ring me tomorrow and we can sort out another date seeing as though this one’s been cut so short.

They say goodbye and start to kiss when all of a sudden Kirsty bites Alex on the neck. Alex pushes Kirsty away and puts his hand to his neck.

Alex: What the hell was that about?!

Kirsty: I’m, I’m sorry, I don’t know what came over me.

Alex: Whatever, I’ve got to go

Kirsty: Alex, wait!

Alex storms off to his car rubbing his neck, he gets in (match on action) and sees Kirsty in the reflection of the rear view mirror, he adjusts the mirror to see the cut on his neck and when he puts the mirror back, Kirsty is gone. Alex looks guilty for losing his temper with Kirsty and rings her phone, the number is not recognised. He starts to drive off but he has a flashback of the bite and pulls over and stumbles out of the car (Double exposure cantered angle) and sees an abandoned building. He stand in front of the building.

NEXT SCENE

Alex wakes up in the in the building looking disorientated - Flashback of the date. He tries to leave but the sun is too bright and hurts his eyes - Flashback of the date. He goes back inside and sits down in the dark - Flashback of the bite, stops just before he is bitten. Sees his car, door still open - Flashback of the bite, stops just before he is bitten. Looks at the mark on his neck -Flashback of the bite, you see the whole bite sequence this time. Fade to black, fades back in at night.

NEXT SCENE

Alex: Over the last few days something’s been happening to me, I’m not sure what it is, but I know it’s taking over. I don’t remember much of my old life, the last real memory I have is of how I became this, this thing. Now I just have an overpowering urge to corrupt and destroy others. Just like she did to me.

Over the shoulder shot of Alex looking towards the city centre. Fade to black.
