script for my film

FADE IN:

EXT. CUL-DE-SAC – DAY 

The sun rises up over the tops of suburban roofs. A dawn chorus of birds can be heard. 

The leaves rustling from the wind that gently presses against them, moving them every so slightly. Squires running from branch to branch in search of the food that was yet to be found. Suddenly Behind the hedge emerges the head of TERRY, mid-thirties, wearing a light grey ragged tracksuit, with mud stains splattered across his knees and ankles, and a white muddy t-shirt with matching battered dark grey hoodie.

He reaches into his pocket and carefully rumples through his muddy old hoodie, using only the tips of his fingers. As he does so, we notice the open, bleeding scar on his hand. He slowly pulls out a crumpled, ripped piece of white paper and stares at it. 

It’s a hand-drawn map with a few roughly sketched out lines drawn across the page that appear to be some kind of rough directions. He opens the brittle paper carefully, so as not to tear it.

Man: ok, so I’m 100km from the extraction point 

He looks at his watch.

Man: 13:45 now that gives me 45 minutes.

Looks back at his watch.

Man: 6 minutes till the stingers arrive.   

He compares his differ from the current location on the scuffles up map to where he insistently is keen to get to. After he figures out he route of action, he began making a quick, disfigures, distraught sketch on the paper with his limits resources he beheld. He glimpses at the paper one last time before folding and stealthy placing it back in his pocket. He wandered ever so slowly forward to check on how many were people are wandering in front of him. 

His head emerges from around the corner of the jaggess, bare hedgerow, which lay in front of a colder sack of village houses whilst lay behind a vast open field. Everything was still, everything was steady, everything was silent yet his panting was exceedingly loud.

He franticly moves looking side to side as the stench of sweat dripped of the tip of his nose. He pulls his hand up, cautiously not making the slightest sound and wipes of the sweat. His heart begins to pound harder and harder as his eyes suddenly spot the drone chasing him that would bring him his miserly. With a sigh of relief he sees the drone fly off barley even noticing him once, he quickly pulls himself back in behind the safety of the hedge. Wondering what to do, he quickly came up with a sudden plan, making him feel ever so slightly reassured. He looks up with a smile of relief on his face and clicks his fingers, he then goes on the look for a stick to sketch out his idea in the dirt below. He finishes sketching and looks up to look at his idea in full. He nodes his head with happiness. He jolts and with one last gulp, he ran.

He sprinted to the opposite side of the hedge and down a small and narrow dirt road which was covered with thorns and sting-nettles ether side, making his muscle clench as these array of plant were almost trapping him, leaving him no where to go but the muddy path that laid beyond him. He ran down the path, trying not to slip on the mud that splattered all over him and every so often is quickly turning his head over his shoulder to look behind him checking where it could be, his mind presumed all the concepts that would happen to him if he got caught.. (Stammers but perks back up) (Mummers impetrating swearing). 

He suddenly stopped, as the path began to widen, the trees beginning to descend behind him. The light pierced though the treetops as the tree canopy became more distant. He came to the end of the safety and comfort of the trees, which also led to the end of his hope. He perched out seeing in front of him which lay amongst him was a vast and open field with no cover or safety; he would be open and venerable from every angle. This sent a rush of panic, which made him shiver up inside. 

He suddenly pauses and seems to wait for a few seconds before looking side to side seeing if there was any other option other than the danger hiding just around the trees. He processes quickly and doesn’t find anything that he thinks is a cause for concern. He gets on his knees to catch his breath for a minute as his heart beats out of his chest reaching for his last gasps of air. 

He catches his breath finally, he felt sudden excruciating continues pain in his arm, that’s when it stuck him with terror, but he soon forgot about it because of the adrenaline running around his body he never realizes he had about a 3 inch cut oozing out with dripping with blood clotting up on his left arm. The blood quickly began to drip down his arm reaching the tips of his fingers. He didn’t have time to think about the overriding pain hitting his body; the pain became more intense and vigorous. He suddenly uses his teeth and rips a section off of his t-shirt, quickly rapping it around his arm to make a make shift bandage, as a attempt to stop the bleeding for a while as he solders on. The white t-shirt slowly changes color to a light pink as the blood begins to soak into what was once a white t-shirt is now reddenes with the stench of blood. 

AS he begins to stand up, staggering ever so slightly and regaining his footing. Out of nowhere a sudden high pitch wiring startled him, making him shake up before he could work out were the sound was coming. He thought about it for a spilt second considering the options. From THE corner of this eye he caught a small but lightly lit up drone suddenly droppes down from above the tree line. The drone hovers in eye level, right in front of his face. They both just froze looking at one another, waiting to see who makes the first move. 

Terry scanned the trees looking carefully side to side, analyzing every option he had. He began looking for a way in, he had to be very precise about his move also making sure not to alert or hint the drone to what he’s about to do. Terry suddenly spots a small opening in the tree line, just big enough for him to fit though, it might be a risk but it will b e worth it.

With one last scan around, seeing if there was any closer opening in the trees other than the risk he was about to take than this one. Not able to find anything else he took a few deep breaths, gathering up the courage then finally musteres up the confidence to run.

Terry hears so many voices screaming inside his head, constantly saying there’s no hope, your get caught but  terry kept thinking he’s made it this far. He dipped his h back heel into the dirt ready to sprint for his life and pushes off. His head tilted just missing the underside of the drone. He makes a dash to the closest tree line to he has some safety from what ever is chasing him. As Terry is unknown to what really lurks behind him. 

The drone immediately turns 180 and spins around, looking straight at terry, the drone begins to speed up and is heading right at terry, lights flashing and radio going, this police drone is in contact with its commanders at all time telling it what to do and how to catch him.

Terry manages to huddle himself along the tree line at a steady speed to get to the other tree line, he used the suns glare to his advantage as it was so bright his and the trees shadows managed to hide him.  

Reaching the tree line Terry made a break for the gap in the tree’s, trying to not make noise or draw any attention to himself because little did he know the drone was right on his trail. The woods were scary and dangerous, it was filled with slippery mud, pot holes, bramble, overhanging trees and razor wire. Terry tried to be carful bobbing and weaving his way around trying not to get hurt. The sunlight piercing the tree canopy letting in the shards of light here and there which scatteres the path way head. 

The drone, hot on terry’s trail, turnes suddenly and startes to pick up speed as it tried to get closer. The drone got close to the ground to make it harder to see and hear coming it coming and in doing so was almost able to cut the tips off the tall strand of grass. The drone wasn’t loud its motors thrashing the air almost sounded like a small pack of bees flying towards you, nothing loud but very scary. 

The drone coming to a sudden stop as it got to the opening, slowly made its self with surging like precision though the gap in the tree line and into the woods. The drone gets into the woods and spots terry just up ahead bobbing and weaving his way around trying not to get hit by the incoming branches. 

The drone wasting no time suddenly springs into action trying to close the distance with tonny, the drone having to also duck and weavy around trying not to get hit by the branches as well.

Tony stumbles a few times as he kept turning around seeing how close the drone was and every time he looked back somehow the drone seemed to get closed. Getting panickes tonny looked for a way out, one side there was a fence of razor wire stopping him running into the hills and on the other side seemed to be a endless row of trees. 

Finally after running for what seemed like forever tonny might have found a gap up ahead it was a small gap in the trees it seemed like just big enough for him to hopefully fit through. 

Getting closer and closer to the gap terry reassured himself this was the right decision. The gap got closer and closer and he got himself ready to jump.

He just got to the gap and leaped, without anymore thinking he did it, he was once again out in the open standing cluelessly in the middle of the files wondering were to go, then he had a idea. He decides to hide in the trees, he ran as fast as he could to the tree and started to look were to hide, and then he found the perfect spot a little dip in the dirt and coveres by some long grass.

Without hesitation he leapes in, meanwhile the drone was still catching up searching for terry, the drone saw terry lead out this little gap in the tree and not soon to follow so did the drone. The drone was once again out in the open searching for terry and speaking to HQ. the drone couldn’t see terry in the open space so it stared to search. It searched high and low. The drone did a pass by the trees, Terries heart fell into his mouth as the drone nears but to his relief it completely misses him and flew right by him, but then it stoppes and started to come back.

Drone stoppes right in front of terry and for a few moment they looked at one another, waiting to see what will happens next and who will make the first move, then terry runs…
