Scene outlines

The following is the script and scenario outline that I created to save time and maximise efficiency during the filming process. This was time consuming but I did feel as though I had a strength in doing this.

Scene 1

·      Two separate shots of Sarah and Taylor who have become increasingly lazy over the winter and who have befriended the couch all too much

·      Setting: Lounge room couch, girls are in separate home environments

·      Text message conversation between the girls

·      Sarah says “ I feel so gross, I can’t think of a time where I have been more unfit.

·      Taylor says “ Tell me about it, I was puffed just getting up the stairs at uni.”

·      Sarah’s dad interrupts looking fit as ever, “Why don’t you start training for the bridge to brisbane with me darl?” (Yoakim)

·      Sarah responds, “No way dad, that’s so much effort.”

·      Dad leaves the room

·      An advertisment comes on the TV for the physh and Sarah becomes intrigued.

·      Advertisement: “Do you struggle to find the motivation to work out? Do want to get fit with your friends? If so then choose ‘Physh’. Exercise has never been so fun until now. Physh monitors your heart rate and gives you feedback. Monitor your friends and see who’s fish can float the highest. Set your goals and see your friends goals for the following day.” (Voice over by Yoakim)   

·      Sarah says, “Hey, turn on the TV, are you watching this ad for the physh?”

·      “Yeah” says Taylor

·      “How about we give it a shot and maybe we could get in shape for the bridge to brisbane. Dads been hassling me about it all week” says Sarah

Scene 2

·      Separate shots of Sarah and Taylor setting up their own ‘physh’ systems. Separate shots of them putting on their wristbands and leaving the house. They meet eachother outside.

·      Setting (separate homes)

Scene 3

·      As they run the LED lights are illuminating.

·      Sarah then begins doing situps and pushups while Taylor sits with her head in her hands.

·      They say goodbye and go home separately

·      Setting: outside environment

Scene 4

·      Taylor goes home and looks straight at the fishtanks in disappointment (Sarahs fish floats higher)

·      Call is made from Taylor to Sarah, “hey how is your fish higher than mine?”, says Taylor on the phone to Sarah.

·      Settings: Two separate home environments.

·      “It was probably those sit ups and push ups you pulled out of at the end, says Sarah.”

·      (Playfully) “That’s it, I’m going to beat you tomorrow, mark my words, says Taylor (shines laser light to a higher position in the tank.)

·      Settings: Two separate home environments.

Scene 5

   ·      Another day passes and Taylor’s fish has risen higher than Sarah’s. Taylor stares into the tank with satisfied smirk across her face

   ·      Setting: Sarah’s home

Scene 6

·      Shot Jumps forward to the girls and Sarah’s dad, stretching before the race. The girls are in prime condition compared to their physical state a month prior.

·      Jumps to the end of the race, the girls satisfied with their progress “ We would have never finished the race had we not found Physh”

·      Setting: outdoor environment (start of bridge?)
