Script

We wrote the script together by combining each other's ideas in it. We corrected the script several times due to the adjustment on the scenes and ideas. Finally, we came out with a satisfying one and we will film our trailer according to this script. Still, adjustments can be made during our filming.

Opening

A’s room – messy, photos are scattered on the floor.
Camera: Top of room, then cut to A’s moving hand.
A tear photographs of herself that took at young age, use marker pen to black her face out.

M: It’s time to let go of your past.
A stunt when she heard him speak.

Voice-overs:

“Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you've imagined.”--- Henry David Thoreau
"When life puts you in tough situations, don't say "why me", say "try me'.


A: That’s so beautiful!
M: Just like your life. If it isn’t wonderful, then make it wonderful. [Live the life, don’t let the life live you](I don’t know is true or not haha)

A: I can really do?
M: why not? Of course you can.

M: No matter what happen in your past, you are not you past. There must be difficult in your life, don’t give up, be a positive person and overcome it.
