Just as a hobby I'm taking up Scriptwriting. This is my second script I started (The first one would be a really boring movie so I dropped it).
I'm calling it This isjust NOT a test. Where the main character wakes up in a testing facility and has to survive all the tests that are thrown at him, when he is given the item that is being tested, he breaks out and enters a war stricken world. I'm going to stop there so I wont reveal any spoilers, here is a rough draft of the first few minutes.
FADE IN:
INT. FACILITY - DAY
Barr wakes up on a bed, he is in a small room, illuminated by one very bright light.
BARR
Hello?
Barr gets up and starts examining the room.
BARR (CONT’D)
Anybody here! HEY!
Barr kicks the wall
BARR (CONT’D)
HEY!
Barr kicks the wall again.
BARR (CONT’D)
HEY!
Right as Barr is about to kick the wall again, the lights surge then a woman’s voice talks.
ACE
Hello, good morning, and welcome to Prime Era Testing Facilities, also known as PET F.
Barr looks around, confused.
BARR
Who are you?
ACE
My name is ACE, and I will be your guide on testing the newest invention made by the great geniuses at Prime Era Testing Facilities. But first we must test your strength, stamina, and well being. Under your bed is a door. Move the bed.
Barr looks down at the floor and sees light coming out of a crack under the bed.
BARR
(Questioningly)
You want me to move the bed?
ACE
Move the bed.
BARR
What if I don’t want to move the-
A loud bang comes from under the floor, cutting off the light coming from under the bed.
ACE
I have just closed off the room under the bed. You will soon die from lack of oxygen unless you move the bed. Please move the bed.
BARR
You’re lying, you wouldn’t let me die right now, you need me to test whatever you need to be tested! Ha!
Silence.
BARR (CONT’D)
Hello?
The light turns off, leaving the whole room dark.
BARR (CONT’D)
(Sighs)
I guess I’m moving the bed.
The text: THIS IS JUST A TEST fades in, type flickers and then shows JUST crossed out and the word NOT written above it in red letters.
FADE IN:
INT. LADDER - DAY
Barr is climbing down a ladder.
ACE
Congratulations, with only a little resilience you were able to move the bed.
BARR
(yells)
It wasn’t easy!
ACE
That will be noted.
BARR
What do you mean “It will be noted?”
INT. HALLWAY - DAY
Barr drops down from the ladder and is at the end of a very long hallway.
ACE
We will now test your stamina, please step up to the yellow line.
Barr looks down and sees a yellow line on the floor, he walks up to it.
ACE (CONT’D)
Your stamina will be tested in 3... 2... 1.
The back wall starts to move forward at a slow pace. Barr looks at the wall, unimpressed, then looks up.
BARR
And how does this concern me? A turtle can go faster than this.
ACE
I’m sorry, the term, “Turtle” was removed from my databanks 57 years ago. If you are not happy with the test, I will add a extra variable. Please look at the advancing wall.
A loud whirring noise enters the room, and soon small electric arcs come from the wall.
ACE (CONT’D)
The wall is now supercharged at three billion volts. Have fun and failure will be documented.
Barr starts to back away from the wall.
BARR
Oh man... oh man...
Barr walks through a laser mounted on the apposing wall. sirens start to go off, the whole room is lit red, and the wall is coming at full speed. Barr starts running as fast as he can, with the wall getting closer and closer to him.
BARR (CONT’D)
(Screaming)
STOP! PLEASE MAKE IT STOP!
Slowly the whirring noises come to an end, the lights go back to normal, the sirens turn off, and the wall stops moving.
ACE
The testing has stopped, when compared to your over all physique, your scores are a borderline pass.
Barr falls to the ground, panting.
BARR
(out of breath)
I passed? What happens if I fail?
(I'm writing this on a script writing software, so it looks a little more professional than this, I'll try to update it as much as possible)
