Day 4 Draft 4

Untitled

Scene: A boy and a girl working on a college film project.  The boy is dressed sharply, slacks a button up shirt and tie with his sleeves rolled up.  The girl is in sweats and a t-shirt.  They’re working on some filler footage for a music video that they are shooting.  

Boy:

So what do you think of a time lapse of this.  

The girl looks through the camera, view of a tree in an open field swaying slightly in the breeze

Girl:

Yea that could work.  We’d only need like thirty or so more seconds of footage if this turns out right.

Boy seems happy with the idea, nods his head and half grins, obviously thinking about something else.

Girl:

One of us will need to stay and keep tabs on the equipment.

Boy snaps out of it.

Boy:

Oooh yea.  You don’t have anything going tonight do you?

Girl over animatedly looks down at her attire, looks back up tilts her head “really?”

Girl:

Let me guess, you have a date with some pretty young thing?

Boy:

You know I’d love you forever if you took the bullet for me on this one.

Boy gives girl the eyes, and the big cheesy smile.

Girl sighs and shakes her head.

Girl:

You’re lucky I put up with your chauvinistic shit. You know that right? You’re gonna take that girl out, take her home, bed her and never call her again.  While I sit out here and make sure the camera doesn’t fall over.

Boy:

So how far are we.

Girl gives him a pair of head phones and clicks a few times with the mouse. The video starts to play, and its horrible, so many Dutch tilts it looks like Battlefield Earth. Boy looks a little disappointed and even rolls his eyes once. when it’s done hands her the head phones and turns to her

Boy:

You and your Dutch tits.

Girl looks up with a smirk, Boy realizes what he said and blushes.

Boy:

Uhh, I need coffee this hangovers killing me.  Be back in thirty?

Girl (smirking):

Don’t sweat it, I’ll just tone down my tilts and get out of here.  Tomorrow five o'clock for the highway shot?

Boy (obviously uncomfortable):

Yea, yea.  See you then.
