INT. EMPTY SCHOOL – EVENING

Opens with a VHS recording of empty halls and classrooms. DAISY BELL PLAYS HERE.
Cuts to JACKSON holding a camcorder and recording lockers as he manually zooms in.

JACKSON
Look how far this thing can zoom in.

MO
Yo Jackson, Turn around.

JACKSON turns around and points the camera to MO as he is holding the middle finger up.
JACKSON turns the camera back round and he laughs. As MO starts talking again,
JACKSON points the camera back at him.

MO
Anyway, we should probably go before we get locked out.

JACKSON
Hang on, Just need to use the toilet.

The camera cuts to a more modern looking camera style. JACKSON puts his camera in his
pocket and he walks to the toilets. JACKSON closes the door on the camera. Camera cuts to
an outside shot of the bathrooms. We then cut to JACKSON washing his hands, he turns
around and walks away however his reflection stays still and eventually turns around to face
forward. JACKSON walks out and looks around.

JACKSON
Mo? Where u at?

All the lights suddenly turn off. JACKSON takes out his camcorder and starts to record.

JACKSON
Is someone still here?

INT. EMPTY SCHOOL – EVENING

JACKSON pauses to wait for an answer.

JACKSON
Mo? Stop messing around man.

It then cuts back to the modern style camera as a classroom light turns on and JACKSON
walks in still recording. A figure stands there with his back to the camera.

JACKSON
Mo? [PAUSE] Your not mo.

The figure turns around. JACKSON puts his camera away. Side shot of JACKSON walking
closeup to the doppelgänger.

JACKSON
But your me

DOPPLEGANGER
But your me

JACKSON has a shocked look on his face. Camera cuts to the doppelgängers face as it
slowly smiles. JACKSON runs out of the classroom into another classroom and hides behind
a desk. HE starts recording again and we cut back to the VHS camera. The doppelgänger
opens the door.

DOPPLEGANGER
But your me

JACKSON
Leave me alone, what are you!

INT. EMPTY SCHOOL – EVENING

Cuts back to modern camera. JACKSON throws his camcorder at the doppelgänger and runs
out of the room. All background sounds die down and the doppelgänger walks out. We get a
close up of his eyes as he closes them and reopens them to reveal black eyes. Centralised shot
of doppelgänger walking down the hallway. LIVING IN THE SUNLIGHT PLAYS HERE.
Cut to JACKSON calmly looking for supply’s. Footsteps are heard outside the door.

JACKSON
Is someone still here?

The doppelgänger runs through the door.

JACKSON
Leave me alone, what are you!

DOPPLEGANGER
Your dead now.

JACKSON grabs a bat and hits the doppelgänger around the head. Cut to the camcorder still
on the floor as it records JACKSON dragging the doppelgänger in and putting it against the
wall. Cut to Mo walking in the doors.

MO
Jackson? Are you still here?

JACKSON walks out of a classroom.

MO
There you are, come on there about to close up.

JACKSON
Mo? Stop messing around man.

MO
Ok? Come on lets go.

INT. EMPTY SCHOOL – EVENING

Knee level camera angle. They both start walking out of the door but JACKSON stops and
turns to look down at the camera. HE smiles and bends down to the camera whilst still
smiling. He slowly blinks as his eyes become black again.
 MO
Jackson, come on!

“JACKSON” stands up and starts walking with MO. THE CARETAKER – ITS JUST A
BURNING MEMORY PLAYS HERE. Long shot of MO and “JACKSON” walking out the
doors. Credits play as the music
continues. After the credits end it cuts to the VHS camcorder on the floor facing the dead
“DOPPLEGANGER”. TIPTOE THRU’ THE TULIPS VOCALS PLAYS HERE. Final cut to
the modern style camera slowly zooming in on the dead body and slow zoom ins on
classrooms and hallways as the music continues to play. Final cut to black.
