DAYDREAM

OVER BLACK:

FOOTSTEPS.

Muzzle sounds of music coming from the protagonist's


earphones.

FADE IN:

EXT. PROTAGONIST WALKING DOWN THE STREETS OF SHEFFIELD -


AFTERNOON.

Ralph, a lanky young adult, aged 19. Leans a little more


hipster, bohemian.

Him walking down the street, oblivious to everyone around


him. Carrying a rusty brown leather bag over his shoulder,
wearing black skinny jeans, a white t-shirt and a black dated
80s leather jacket.

FADE OUT:

FADE IN:

INT. PROTAGONIST SITTING AT HIS DESK, ATTEMPTING TO SONG


WRITE. LATE AFTERNOON.

Ralph writing, scribbling and getting frustrated. Bouncing


his leg up and down continuously. Ripping each page out as he
writes more into his blue, hardback little book.

Time ticking.

Him twirling on his chair as he gives up.

Time ticking.

Puts his head in his hands.

FADE OUT:

TRANSITIONING INTO A DREAMWORLD DILEMMA. FALSE LOOKING


SURROUNDINGS. TIME PAUSED.

A montage of illusions, and twirling, colourful effects. The


Wizard Of Oz type vibes - linking a virtual reality illusion
that this scene is false and in fact just a 'Daydream'.

FADE IN:

EXT. THE PROTAGONIST WITH HEAD IN HANDS. IN A FIELD.

Ralph's top ripples as the breeze hits him. He looks up in a


world of confusion.

Ralph: What the fuuuurrr. WHAT?!

Laughs to himself in disbelief.

Ralph: Shite, where's my phone?

Huffs.

Clinches his fists as he starts to get up from his desk and


walks around.

Birds chirping. The coherent sound of air and wind moving. A


peaceful sound in a quiet open space.

Ralph walks and walks, as time's ticking. He appears to be a


lot more confident and comfortable where he is.

He lies on the overgrown grass, full of daisies, and looks up


to the fluffy cartoon-like clouds. Ralph closes his eyes and
opens them again trying to wake up but is still stuck in this
illusion fantasy.

Ralph gets up and walks up the hill. He sees his guitar in


the distance and carries on to get closer to it.

Ralph sits on the grass and starts playing with his guitar.

Ralph:

(singing)

What the hell is going on... I am


going insane.

More guitar playing.

Stops. His face is drawing the expression of realisation of


why he is where he is.

He begins playing the guitar again with the view of nature


surrounding him.

Free, clear and safe surroundings.

Ralph then takes advantage and begins to play and make up his
song.

Ralph:

(singing)

You come right in...

Ralph continues to play the guitar and makes up some more


song lyrics.

TIME PASSING.

FADES OUT.

FADES IN.

INT. BACK IN PROTAGONIST BEDROOM.

Ralph wakes up. He is back sitting at his desk, in his


bedroom. He has his small hardback blue book resting on the
side of his right hand and old screwed up sheets of paper
scattered around his room.

Half-awake, a bemused Ralph opens his book and begins to


write a song called Daydream.

He kicks the desk with satisfaction as he finally likes his


own song.

Ralph picks up his guitar in the corner of his bedroom,


leaning on his bed.

He begins playing his guitar with a much greater


enthusiastic, confident attitude compared to the beginning.

He begins to sing Daydream.

RALPH:
(singing)

You come right in

And give me a smile

Can we just sit down for a while

If we lay down

RALPH: (CONT'D)

I will turn off the lights

Then we can drift away

The rest of the night

When we wake up the sun will shine

I'm so happy to call you mine

And that you're not just another

Daydream.

FADES OUT.
