Script

 

    We finally, finally, FINALLY,  finished our script. There is not a lot of audio as our excerpt mainly relies upon visual elements to show the story. 

    We begin with establishing shots showing the room of Berkley. Her calendar is shown as the very first clip. The day is Friday the 13th and it is her birthday. This alludes to the day of March 13, 2020, the beginning of the Coronavirus pandemic. The date of Friday the 13th is a date associated with bad luck and misfortune, mentioned in a horror movie titled Friday the 13th. Then, shots of her awards, desk, and other parts of her room are shown to establish a little more about who Berkley is, before she is even shown.

    Then, she wakes up to an alarm playing the Happy Birthday song. She turns off the alarm and is shown going to the bathroom to get ready. Not many sounds are here aside from the occasional grunt and groan. She rifles through her clothing to find a special outfit for her birthday. She tries many outfits which do not fit her aesthetic until she finally lands on "the one". Her phone is buzzing off the hook however she ignores it as she focuses on getting ready. She is finally ready and leaves her room, turning back to grab her phone which she has forgotten. Berkley leaves and goes outside, dropping her phone. This repeated loss of her phone leads to the assumption that something bad will be associated with the phone which is shown in the next clip. Berkley finally turns on her phone when she receives a message telling her to turn on the news.
