Script: Sneaky Peak

Previously Unposted

When I started to think about writing my script I decided to write the whole script out first and then change it after I had a basis to work on.

Reading through my script I wrote down a list of things I would like to change and try writing differently.

Below is a typed out list of the things I wanted to change to make my script look professional:
* Change protagonists age to 6 years old.
*Add in INT. and EXT. to every scene
* Capitalize important words e.g. actions/props
*Capitalize all characters names.

Here is a snippet of my script:

INT- LIVING ROOM- DAY

 4 YEAR OLD LAUREN is KNEELING on the LIVING ROOM LAMINATED FLOOR, playing PEEK-A-BOO with LEWIS her 1 YEAR OLD BABY BROTHER.

The faint sound a RAISED VOICES can be heard.

LAUREN’S MUM, TARA, SHOUTS up to her from the KITCHEN.

TARA

‘LAUREN, change LEWIS’ NAPPY FOR ME PLEASE’

LAUREN

‘YES MUM.’

LAUREN RUNS to the TOP of the KITCHEN STAIRS and takes the BABY CHANGING BAG, and DRAGS it back to where LEWIS is on the FLOOR.

LAUREN

‘LEWIS, your big sister is going to change your nappy.... again’

LAUREN starts to change LEWIS’ NAPPY, and the RAISED VOICES start to get LOUDER. SECONDS later the DOORBELL RINGS and the RAISED VOICES immediately STOP.

LAUREN finishes changing LEWIS and RUNS to the FRONT DOOR to answer it.  She PULLS OPEN the DOOR and SMILES at the MALE FIGURE STANDING OUTSIDE.

LAUREN

‘Hi Uncle John, Mum and Dad are in the kitchen’

UNCLE JOHN WALKS through the FRONT DOOR and into the LIVING ROOM. LAUREN SHOUTS down the STAIRS to her parents.

LAUREN

MUM...DAD... UNCLE JOHN IS HERE’

UNCLE JOHN, looks at LAUREN and gives her a SMALL PINK GIFT BAG.

UNCLE JOHN

I thought you might like to borrow this book. I have just finished reading it and I thought you might like it. 

I hope this sneak peak of my script helps any of you media fans to either create your own script or to see how a script can be put together :)
