R+P Post 9: Our Script

We decided to include some dialogue in our opening sequence, however, the majority of the speech in our opening will come from a voice-over. The voice-over is common in rom-coms such as 'John Tucker Must Die' where Kate talks about what her life has been like.

Script

Guy: 

'Hi, I’m Guy. I’ve been single for the past 19 years, which is my whole life.

I’m so unlucky… it seems nothing ever goes my way

But… last month, I met the girl of my dreams. We met online and today I’m finally going on a date! Me! Going on a date! My first ever date!

The last time I tried talking to a girl, she completely ignored my presence.

It’s awkward because that’s the closest I’ve ever got to a girl who isn’t my mum.

For the first time in my life, I feel like my luck is changing.

I’ve got to try my hardest to get this right, that means no talking about games, science or chess.

I’m wearing my best shirt, styling my hair and putting on my best aftershave.

I’m even wearing a tie.

Anyway, got to go! Don’t wanna be late.'
