SEX ~Va Dozier~ My premise: girl discovers bisexual "flair," goes through denial, confusion, pursues it, decides she'd rather be with guy. (Dealing with sexuality.) ----------------------------------------------------------- Opening: Girl walking arm in arm with boyfriend, chatting. Stops, talks to friends (sorority chicks mostly) - giggles, clings to bf. Society's idea of a "perfect" girlfriend. Friends invite them to a party. Party: Girl and bf go to party, dance, etc., get drunk. See girl dancing with bf, other guys, girls - totally drunk. Girl dances on table with girl2, shirts comes off, suggestive dancing, etc. Frat guys gawk and whoop. Girl, bf, and girl2 walk back to dorms have drunk. Girls giggle, hang on each other, etc. Girl and bf go back to her dorm alone, girl2 goes off to wherever she lives. Dorm: Still drunk - girl giggles to bf about how much she likes girl2. ("She's so funny. Isn't she nice? She's cute." Etc.) Innocent enough. Bf entertains her drunk rantings, but has ideas of his own. They eventually start making out heavily. Dream Sequence: See girl at party dancing with girl2 on table. Extremely suggestive dancing (more so than before). [I'm thinking lots of extreme close-ups here. It is a dream.] Cut to girl and girl2 on bed, making out. [Nothing too graphic, more extreme close-ups: one girl sucking the other's neck, hand on thigh, facial close-ups, etc. - to get across the point. I want this sexual, but not explicit.] End Dream Sequence: Girl wakes up suddenly, sweating - is naked in bed with bf, who is asleep. Girl shoves bf off her, gets up, goes to shower. See girl washing hair, whatever - flashbacks of dream. Girl in front of fogged mirror, wipes it off, stares at self - more flashbacks. Also, flashbacks of sex with bf. Girl hunches over sink - rapid flashbacks of both dream and bf [maybe use a cool overlay effect to have the two converge... or transparent, rather, so the audience sees both at once.] Girl dashes to toilet, vomits. Next day: Girl runs into friends, acts nervous, especially around girl2. Later, with bf - he wants to make out, she is non-responsive, snaps at him, leaves. [Maybe a montage.] Girl walking alone at dusk. Watches other couples, looks depressed, sprawls out on grass. [overhead shot?] Following days: Girl is depressed, withdraws from friends and bf. Bf is constantly getting more and more frustrated. Girl is friendly with girl2, but acts nervous, withdrawn around her. Is disappointed whenever girl2 talks about guys, gets more withdrawn. Possibly starts doing drugs. Complete character turn-around from beginning. Girl is now depressed, scraggly, not outgoing, withdrawn. Girl pursues obsession with girl2, but girl2 becomes less and less friendly with her. Bf breaks up with girl. (Maybe this happens in Lenior, so bf can "prevent a scene.") Girl tells girl2 about breakup; girl2 seems uninterested, but girl is unobservant of this. (Blind, per say.) Girl keeps more and more to self, is alone. Some point (this may occur earlier in depression, before breakup): Girl approaches lesbian booth in the pit, begins meeting with group, but not a very active member. Still pursues obsession with girl2, though more from afar than before. Group plans to have a get-together. Girl works up nerve, invites girl2, but doesn't explain exactly who is getting together. Lesbian Social: At party, girl2 shows up - our protagonist is very happy, until girl2 says that she has to leave to meet a date. Girl watches from doorway [maybe in student union] as girl2 meets girl's ex-bf (from earlier) outside. While girl is standing in doorway, a third girl (We'll call her LESBIAN, b/c this girl and girl2 thing is getting ridiculous.) comes up behind girl, touches shoulder, says "let's dance" or something along those lines. LESBIAN leads girl out to dance floor. Girl is someone displaced (for lack of a better word), still shocked from seeing ex-bf with girl2. Girl dances, but unenthusiastically. LESBIAN is dancing close to girl, leaning in, etc. (obviously wants to kiss her) Girl is having flashbacks** of bf. (Dinners, walks in parks, kissing, parties, holding hands, etc. Life before her "depression.") {As a side note, I'd like to have more mushy-gushy stuff with girl and bf earlier in script, before initial party scene.} Back to girl and LESBIAN dancing - girl says something along the lines of "oh god, what have I done?" Brushes LESBIAN off, says to her "I'm sorry, this is wrong." (Some tell-tale phrase.) Girl runs out of party. Outside: Girl runs across pit, looks around, ends up at quad. Stops. Sees bf and girl2 from a distance. Bf kisses girl2, holding hands, etc. [**I'd like to have him doing the same thing with girl2 as he did with girl one in the flashbacks.] Bf and girl2 walk off. Girl sits by wall, draws knees to chest, cries. --END- ----------------------------------------------------------- ~~More side notes: This isn't really a DARK script, per say... it deals more with internal conflict. Pulling this off for Darkness Falls is going to be dependent upon the acting and visuals.~~
