Final Script

After combining the original two draft scripts that both Luke and I created we have, in our view, made a final Script which contains the best aspects of each. By doing this we feel the script will not only be more appropriate to the storyline but will also quickly and clearly portray the overall plot to viewers.

Old Habits Die Hard

(Over the shoulder Mid to Close shot of protagonist (Toby) Made to look like He is Filming a Vlog)

Toby: Is this thing on?... (Sits back in chair, relaxing, but on edge)

(Music Starts - Slow with fade in)
(Camera fades to black then re-enters on a track/Panning side on shot of Protagonist walking)

(Starts at waist then pans down to legs)

(Low Angle Camera shot of Protagonist's feet walking)

(Approaches door, Match on action opening door)

(Voice Over) Toby: I think it started when I was a kid, growing up around my deadbeat parents who would rather light up then go out. I promised my self that I would never be like them but I guess all the time I spent fighting it just ended with me falling harder.

(Music picks up pace and matches the cutting of the shots)

(Sequence of drug related imagery at fast continuous pace)

Toby:  Not for pleasure. (Echo in background)
Toby: I love the hits man, but only when they last.
Toby: Just to survive. (Echo in background)
Toby: They get fewer and fewer every time.
Toby: Just to survive. (echo in background)
Toby: I need this, I crave it and I will do whatever it takes to get it.
Toby: To drag yourself out of a shithole and into the light of normality. (Echo in background)

(Music remains fast paced)
(Sequence of shot of over the shoulder shots of protagonist faced with danger)

(Music slows, shots speeds down)

(Over the shoulder Mid to Close shot of protagonist (Toby) Made to look like He is Filming a Vlog)

Toby: If you're like me then we I comes down to it remember this, to get what we need you have to get good mates who share your struggles.

Cut to scene of Marty and Toby

Marty: I thought you were done with this shit bro?

Toby: Yeah, well I was never one to keep my promises. I’m back in the game. 

(Voice Over) Toby: When you’ve been in the ‘game’ as long as I have you begin to realise when shit's going down. If you fail to notice it quick enough you could be fighting for your life or worse pride. Then one day you have to wake up to reality that you ain’t ever going to protect something till your out of the game for good.

Vincent: I believe you owe us something my friend
Toby: A long time ago perhaps. Today both you and I know I don’t owe you shit.
Vincent: Time (Heavily exaggerated) doesn't change a damn thing Toby!

(Music explodes to life showing Protagonist from behind facing off against a group of people, then a group of people line up with protagonist, groups walk towards each other)
(Middle man points at Protagonist)
(Sequence of close ups of main characters)
(Over the shoulder Mid to Close shot of protagonist (Toby) Made to look like He is Filming a Vlog)
(Slow Panning shot to protagonists face)
Toby: My names Toby Scott and this isn't a story.... Its my life.
