“NEUROSIS”

Characters:

Leon Thomas- Horatio Milton Baxter

Jemima Luscombe- Mia Charles

“Amy”- Tasnim Rohal

School Pupils

Horatio is walking on Welham Road and is gazing at Mia as she walks to school.

Whilst looking at Mia, Horatio loses his balance and falls on the floor, other students laugh at him.

Student #1: (Mocking One) Oh my god, he`s such a loser. No wonder he doesn’t have any friends.

Student #2: (Loudly whispers) I heard that he`s going to try out for the football team (group laughter)

Students walk way leaving Horatio on the floor staring at the concrete with a determined expression on his face.

In the afternoon, Horatio secretly follows Mia and takes various pictures of her. He goes to the student newsroom afterwards and starts to write an article about Mia that will be published in the Graveney Express.

Horatio: (Camera follows Horatio typing) At first glance, Mia Charles seems an ordinary girl who comes to school, does her work and enjoys a colourful social life with her friend. (Heavy breathing) Popular girl (muttering) we all come to school for {...} unique…..

Camera zooms out to reveal a collage of Mia`s pictures.

FILM SCHEDULE:

Monday 1st March 2010

Time: 2.15-2.55
Scene 1: Horatio follows Mia on Welham Road.
Actors on location: Jemima, Leon and two students.

We chose to film on Welham Road in order to establish the main setting of the story which is set in Graveney School.

Friday 5th March 2010

Time: 11.10- 11.55
Scene 2: Take pictures of Mia outside the theatre.
We chose to take pictures of Mia outside the theatre in order to place her in an ordinary setting. The main aim of this was to create something eerie and mysterious out of a natural setting. The abnormal element to this scene is that Mia is being followed by Horatio who is zooming in on Mia' movements and taking pictures of her.

Monday 8th March 2010

Time: 2.15-2.55
Scene 3: Horatio goes to the newsroom and writes an article about Mia.
Actors on location: Leon

Horatio goes to the newsroom. We chose the media suite as the newsroom because it has many posters and articles that are associated with a newsroom setting. Also, the media suite is home to many computers and in an actual newsroom many computers and printers are needed in order to type and print stories.
