Preliminary Task

Statement of intent: 
My Story-line: Tiny aliens have invaded the school and two schoolgirls, Demi and Aya, are caught in the middle of an alien invasion, in order to be safe they must escape the school, but there will be obstacles that they face when trying to escape, like Aya's best friend Demi getting herself possessed by the aliens.
The girls in this story will be represented as both weak and fragile as well as intelligent and brave, since there are scenes in which my female characters will act like they are 'doomed' and other scenes where they'll act like they can make quick decisions and do anything a man can. This will be appealing to my target audience of teenagers, since seeing teenagers in empowering roles could inspire them and make the audience more likely to watch the show.
I am going to make a 2-minute clip consisting of dialogue, a range of different shots and multiple examples of match-on-action editing. I'll ensure that the dialogue in my video contains vocabulary that is relevant to the Science-Fiction genre. I will film in multiple locations around the school, and I plan on using 2 or more different actors in my clip. I will include a scene in which my character answers a phone call and shares dialogue with another character. Then, I'll film a scene in which my character walks down a corridor and then through a door, using match-on-action editing and a range of shots. I plan to then have more dialogue between my two characters, using various shots.

Script:

Characters: Aya; Demi

Aya: [Picks up phone and answers call] "Hey Demi!"

[Cut to Demi in a strange location, with a panicked look on her face]

Aya: "Demi, there's not much time left, they're coming!! I don't think those...those Alien freakshows have found me yet, just run, get out of the block, they're infecting the people. The infected ones have a mark on their hands. Run and trust nobody!"

[Cut back to Aya]

Aya: "Demi, what are you on about? You're scaring me."

[Back to Demi]

Demi: [Glancing around the corner] "I think they've spotted me. Dammit Demi, just listen to me and run. RUN." [The phone then cuts off]

[Back to Aya]

Aya: [She gets up and leaves the room, walking through the door and heading towards the back exit of D-block. At the bottom of the silver stairs, she spots Aya and begins to head down towards her. As she gets closer she realises that Aya has been possessed due to the mark on her hand. She then attempts to leave via the door, but Demi blocks it so she turns around and looks down over the railing. She then runs back and the scene cuts to her landing on the ground.]

[Fade to black as Aya runs off into the distance]
