'Love Actualy' Script

'Love Actually' script


10 Downing Street- Entrance hall/inner lobby. 

Sudden silence and formality inside in comparison to the chaos outside.

 There to greet him his personal adviser, Annie, strong and intelligent looking. His demeanour immediately changes, he deformalizes.
ANNIE
Welcome, Prime Minister.

PM
I must work on my wave. How are you?
(he kisses her hello)

ANNIE
How are you feeling?

PM
Cool. Powerful.

ANNIE
Would you like to meet the household staff?

PM
Yes, I would very much like that indeed. Anything to put off actually running the country.
(He heads with her towards a line of employees)

ANNIE
This is Terence. He's in charge.

TERENCE
Good morning, sir.

PM
Good morning. Had an uncle called Terence once- hated him- I think he was a pervert- but I very much like the look of you.

ANNIE
This is Pat.

PM
Hello Pat.

PAT
Good morning, sir, I'm the housekeeper.

PM
Oh right. Should be a lot easier with me than the last lot- no nappies, no teenagers, no scary wife.

ANNIE
And this is Natalie- she's new, like you.

PM
Hello Natalie.

NATALIE
Hello, David. I mean 'sir'- shit, I cant believe I just said that- and now I've gone and said 'shit'-twice. I'm so sorry, sir.

PM
That's fine... . You could have said 'fuck' and then we'd have been in real trouble.

NATALIE
Thank you, sir. I did have an awful premonition I was gonna fuck up on my first day … o piss it.

(He laughs. She blushes hugely- a beautiful lovely, young bright faced girl. He looks at her. something is happening)

ANNIE
Right- I'll go get my things- and then lets fix the country, shall we?

PM
Yeah, I can't see why not. 
(As he walks away he casually looks over his shoulder. Natalie is one of the things he looks back on.)

10 Downing street- PM's office

(PM enters and closes the door behind him)

PM
O no. That is so inconvenient.

Course Work- Narration

I plan to add a narration talking about cerebral palsy  and when Jess was diagnosed with it. Here is a rough version of the narration:  Jess,24, suffers from cerebral palsy. She was diagnosed at the age of???. Cerebral palsy is a group of lifelong conditions that affect a person’s movement and co-ordination. It is caused by a problem with the brain that occurs before, during or shortly after birth. Symptoms can include problems such as stiff or weak muscles. Jess’s condition has previously made her life difficult and painful. However, just over a year ago, someone came into her life, changing it in so many ways. After showing Jess the narration, I made changes to it. Jess has cerebral palsy. She was diagnosed with it at 18 months. Cerebral palsy is a group of lifelong conditions that affect a person’s movement and co-ordination. It is caused by a problem with the brain that occurs around birth. Symptoms can include stiff or weak muscles. Jess’s condi...

Ideas for my final film

Image
First Idea- The Effects of Anxiety One idea that I have is to create a short film on anxiety, and how it effects different people. One way I could do this could be through the eyes of someone with anxiety and how it prevents them from doing daily tasks.  I could also do this through having a physical creature or person that symbolises someone's anxiety.  I could go about this by interviewing people anxiety, and how it effects their everyday life.  I watched a few of videos to get some inspiration for a short film on anxiety.  What Having Anxiety Feels Like This was a video including the narration of a sufferer from anxiety. She tells us about all the physical symptoms she experiences, and yet doesn't notice. She also uses metaphors and similes, such as 'My anxiety feels like fire.', to describe how she feels on a daily basis.  It also includes black and white footage. I like the use of the switch between black and white, and colour. thi...
