Our Script

Originally I did not plan to have a script and just have non-diegetic music playing as the film starts, however after analysing multiple different drama films I discovered it is a convention to have the main character describing the story to update the audience to save having to display the complex beginnings. I adopted this idea and I am  going to use a voice over from the main character to describe the story so far.

"It's November the 27th, the day after my 16th birthday. I received the worst present anyone could get. (pause) I found out i was adopted. See this letter here it's from my mum, my birth mum. All she keeps saying is hoe sorry she is and how it was never her choice to give me up.

All my life they have been lying to me, never telling me the truth. How just how could they keep this from me. My parents, wait I guess my adoptive parents keep telling me I wasn't ready before but they think i'm ready now, how can I be ready now, I may be 16 but i'm still a child, i'm too young for this, this heartbreak. How wold they have felt at my age.

I guess it's not their fault they were just trying to protect me. But she's out there somewhere, my mum, my birth mum.
