The Storyline

For the original storyboard:
In our film opening we plan to display three extracts of our character's life:

  • The first scene is in the late morning and Sam is sitting on a park bench after she has just left someone's house where she crashed the night before. The night before was the usual; she went to a raving club alone that she is underage for, took drugs (sometimes deals to earn some money), drank, talked to strangers and then slept at someone's house that she barely knows because she has no real friends and does not want to go home. In the morning she needs to leave the person's house and the park was on route so instead of going home she stops on a bench. She makes it look like she has stopped to roll a cigarette but Sam actually is avoiding going home, trying to get fresh air to cure her hang over and just enjoys being in the park because it reminds her of the innocence of childhood and how much better it was being a child.
  • The second scene shows Sam outside a club in the early hours of the morning. It is light outside, it is very cold and the club is empty but she is still hesitant to go home and drunk with no one to go home with, she feels she is in a rut. She takes a paracetamol to try to get rid of her headache.
  • The third scene is Sam lying on her bed and it demonstrates the true effects of drugs. It is early morning (these days are not necessarily in sequence) and she is struggling to sleep as she is thirsty and burning up from a headache caused by some unknown drugs. She is sweating and in her lazy attempt to reach for some water she knocks a packet of cheap cigarettes off the bedside table as she refuses to move her head. The point in revealing the credits through objects in her bedroom is to depict Sam's particular characteristics.
