Scene 1: A day on the terrace
Location: The terrace
The setting is somewhere around dusk, where there is the silhouette of a boy and a girl sitting at the edge of a 4-5 storey terrace set against the horizon. From the focus, it is evidently noticeable that the boy has long brown hair and is sitting in a contemplative position looking at the sea crashing against the shores, throwing a shy glance at the girl every now and then. The girl has short red hair, tattoo on her back, and multiple piercings on the ear as the metal glints in the setting sun. She is dressed in a casual attire of tank tops and shorts, and there is a bubbly aura about her. The camera moves towards them and sets the closure, when it suddenly pans forward and shows both of them from an overhead angle. The boy’s converse shoes are shown tilted towards each other, whereas the girl is wearing home slippers, her toe nails painted in an off beat color and the heels of her feet bouncing off the wall every now and then. Moreover, it is easily noticeable that there is a pavement below their feet with a flow of people making their way by foot and an occasional car passing the curb.
Scene 2: The Conversation
Location: The terrace
The camera focuses on the lovely profile of the girl, and it is noticeable that there is laughter in her face and she is obviously swaying from one shoulder to the other expressing the joy in her heart. The boy’s side profile is noticeable from the angle, and it is evident that his piercing eyes are set on the horizon.
Girl: So, what now? We have the world at our feet…
Boy: What if they don’t exist?
Girl: (laughs) Lets find out...
And the camera pans in an overhead shot which shows their feet and the pavement again as the boy turns towards the girl.
Boy: How?
Here she looks down and a shingles single slippers off her feet and its drops to the flow of the pavement below. It almost misses the trunk of a man, who is walking and attending a phone call at the same time and hits the pavement with a smack. Nobody notices the slipper and they keep walking on. The next shot is that of the boy and girl looking and laughing with all their hearts.
Scene 3: What’s the difference?
Location: The terrace
Alternative 1
The camera is set on their backs and as the sun is setting, they huddle closer to each other till the girl kisses him on the cheek and rests her head on the shoulder looking down at the people making their way beneath her feet.
Alternative 2
The camera is set on their backs and it circles them both. The boy still looking at the horizon with piercing depth, and there is a grit resolute on the girls face. As the camera reaches their back, it is noticed that the girl is holding on the ledge with all her strength. Suddenly she let goes. In the next angle, she is shown flying towards the ground with a smile on her face till she reaches flat on the road and the blood drips from the orifices of the face.
At the hospital, the girl is shown lying on the bed with a cast on her leg staring out at the world beyond the window. The guy strolls towards her and with a shrug hands her the flowers and smiles as he notes the delight on her face.
Boy: You know, there is nothing much to matter in the world out there. But for us, my world resides in you as yours resides in me…
And the camera closes in on the girls face as the emotions cloud her eyes with his form obvious on her pupil.
