Script 1st draft

Script
Int. Corridor. Day
Black screen fades to view of ceiling, a light hangs down. Moves gently down and across to the right until a wooden door is seen in the centre of the frame. A glow from the cracks in the door begin to show and grow brighter as we move closer toward it, as we move forward the handle begins to turn and the door slowly opens. As the door is opening we continue to move forward into the room.Int.Bedroom. DayA fairytale like room is revealed to us. Pink walls, flower patterns and toys fill the room; a tall bookcase stands to the left. We look across to the bookcase; we see a close up of the books. Fairytale books are lined up across the self, some battered some new. We follow on to the right to the table in the room centre. An open book lies across it, along with sweets and colored pens. We see a close up of the pens and move along past the table. We next see the bed, with a teddy bear on the end. As we get closer to the foot of the bed a LITTLE BLUE walks to the bed side and picks up a blue bag. She walks away and reveals form behind her a picture frame. We look closer to the frame on the bedside table as it closes in on the picture of a family. From left to right we see the FATHER, LITTLE BLUE, and MOTHER and further away STEP SISTER. Then fades to a blue screen. Fades to blue screen and title ‘Little Blue’ appears.

Ext. establishing shot of outside of school

STEP SISTER: Oi! (Throwing a scrunched ball of paper at LITTLE BLUE)

LITTLE BLUE turns around in disappointment; she isn’t shocked, as if this has happened many times.

STEP SISTERS FRIENDS: (2 of them giggling devilishly in amusement, they each stand aside the step sister)

LITTLE BLUE: o go away I haven’t got any lunch money for today.

STEP SISTER: (Toots)
Well you know the drill.

STEP SISTERS FRIENDS approach LITTLE BLUE, STEP SISTER is at the middle front of the two, looking like a leader, and their facial expressions turn bitter and ugly.

STEP SISTER: get her!
(She bares her teeth at LITTLE BLUE)

LITTLE BLUE gasps and runs away from the bullies
Camera tracks LITTLE BLUE running into a valley

Ext. Valley, outside

LITTLE BLUE pants for air as she hides behind the bins in the corner of the valley, she bends forward resting her hands on her slightly bent knees she leans her head forward looking down regaining her breath. Suddenly a noise is heard; sounds of crackling leaves through heavy but slow footsteps get louder. LITTLE BLUE jumps up thinking it’s the bullies, she throws her right foot first to sprint away. A hand touches LITTLE BLUES back.

Whispering with a croaky voice
Old witch: they’re gone, they’re gone

LITTLE BLUE turns around, are settles still.

Tell me, why so blue?

LITTLE BLUE breaks out into a roar of whiney crying and tears.
i-i cant take this no more, she wont stop bullying me, her and all the other mean girls. I don’t know w- w- why (her voice weakens and crumbles down)

OLD WITCH: hush hush child, don’t worry.

…who might these bullies be?

LITTLE BLUE: (looks down) my step sister and her friends

Old witch: oh child..
She gently drops her right hand into her pocket, and slips out 3 pebble sized sweets each wrapped in see-through creased wrappers. All three different colour’s luminous blue, red and yellow.

LITTLE BLUE: (curiously) what’s that?

OLD WITCH: It’s the sweetest thing

LITTLE BLUE, looks at the lady for more answers, her eyes shift side to side

LITTLE BLUE: huh?

OLD WITCH: give it to those horrid girls and horrid they shall be no more.
But… do not eat them, and do not let anyone but the bullies eat them or it will go horribly wrong

LITTLE BLUE: what will go wrong?

OLD WITCH: the magic!

A shuffling of leaves is heard behind blue,
Blue jumps again and turns instinctively, no one is there, she puts her head back to the front. The old lady is gone. In dead silence blue stands alone with three pebble sized sweets lay wraped inside LITTLE BLUES closed fist.

LITTLE BLUE gasps in shock

staring down at her hand lay out with sweets on it
LITTLE BLUE: whispers to herself
Oh my, how did it get there?

The scene closes, cutting away to the next scene

Int. bedroom, day.

LITTLE BLUE is in her step sisters bedroom, cleaning and rushing around tidying all her sisters belongings. Her sister storms in.

Step sisters mouth extends open like a lion

STEP SISTER: get out get out! What do you think you’re doing!

LITTLE BLUE: I- im just tidying you’re-

STEP SISTER: things. My things! Oh look at you, acting like some kind of angel! Just stop it, seeking all my attention as usual.

LITTLE BLUE: (holds her head down, and runs out the room)

Ext. establishing school, outside, daytime

Int. Classroom, daytime.

The classroom is busy with children all fiddling in their seats, chattering of children is heard, giggling too. We then focus on three girls sitting at one table, the step sister in the middle. The step sister is whispering in her friends ears, an evil grin gradually grows on all their faces as they whisper and giggle, they focus there eyes on LITTLE BLUE sitting on the table in front of them. The step sister reaches out for little blues bag slouched beside the back of the chair. The sister quietly takes the bag without LITTLE BLUE noticing. The girls giggle louder as they rummage through the bag, when findings the 3 colourful sweets they take it out, the two friends unwrap the sweets straight into there mouth while the step sister takes her time she takes her sweet beginning to unwrap it.

STEP SISTER: ooo Blueeeeeeeeee!

To LITTLE BLUES shock she jumps to grab the sweet off, no no don’t eat it.. it’s it’s-

FRIENDS: go on get your sweet revenge!

The step sister picks the sweet from the wrapper, moving it closer towards her mouth.

LITTLE BLUE: it’s magic sweets, no, its dangerous
