Abduction: First Draft Script

Below is the script for my A2 media project "Abduction"

Fade in to the interior of a house, the blinds are drawn, in the middle there is a man on the floor hunched over with a photo of his wife in his hands

David: 'I'll find you'' He repeats unnervingly

He reaches around for a beer and knocks several old cans over and sighs 

He gets up to get another and as he enters the kitchen the kitchen his phone rings. He rushes to the phone but doesn't get there in time.

David: 'That could've been her' and he throws the picture away and it shatters.

We then see him go upstairs to his computer to check his emails but a glimpse of an alien conspiracy website is shown before the camera pans up to reveal a large chalk board with various alien sightings and symbols displayed.

The phone rings again and he rushes to get it. When he picks up there is silence for a couple of seconds.

David: 'Hello'

Voice on the phone: [what follows is incomprehensible alien language]

The man hangs up the phone and is visibly shocked and then precedes to call his friend 

Man: 'Its them I've got proof'

His friends Shaun calls round and is repelled/visibly disgusted at the state of the house 

Shaun: 'Well where is it'

David: 'Here I record all calls in and out'

Shaun: 'Wait your telling me an alien phoned you

David: 'Yes that's right'

Shaun: 'on this phone,this disconnected phone'

David: 'Yea...'

Shaun: 'Look, okay we let you believe this for a while maybe it was a grieving mechanism... but now its went too far. David she left you, okay you have to come to terms with it. She's gone they found her car two cities over, you have to stop this its destroying you. You've lost your job and your alienating everyone around you. so come on stop this madness and come outside. Look, tomorrow morning I'll give you a lift round to the clinic and they will be able to help you overcome this.'

David: 'O-okay'

Shaun gives him a hug and leaves

Later that night David hears the phone ringed and hears his wife voice. 'come outside honey, don't be afraid.'

David: 'No,no you're gone Shaun told me'

David throws the phone across the room but she can still be heard as she becomes more distorted. Eventually he gives in and opens the door only to be engulfed in a white light with similar alien noises being heard before fading to black.
