Script Ideas Storyboard Draft of Script EXT - Waiting to board a Spaceship - Dawn Due to global warming drastic measures have finally been made to move the remaining peoples on earth to a safer environment, space. It is the end of the human race on earth and humanity's future belongs in space. 17 year old twins BILLY and AMY anticipate their new life on a spaceship. However they both have suspicions that the move to space is not for the reasons it seems. BILLY and AMY wait in the moving queue for their parents to return however their departure is rapidly approaching. BILLY(anxious) Did you see Mum and Dad? *while straining to look through the dusty red area* AMY No! Dad and a guard said to wait here, he went back to help Mum with the bags. BILLY I’m not going without them. AMY (calmly) Lets just wait here they wouldn't they wouldn't tell us to stand here without a reason. A few metres away yelling is heard from another queue in the distance dust and smoke rises blocking the commotion. BILLY Haven't you noticed that majority of people waiting here are young? We could have all been told to wait for our parents.
BILLY catches his eye on adults arguing with guards. AMY (Standing in the opposite direction to where billy is looking) Don’t jump so quickly to conclusions the queues moving super slow there's loads of time for them to come back. BILLY kay fair enough just don’t be so naive, keep a lookout. O
Camera zooms out from Amy & Billy's conversation into a bird's eye view shot of the landscape. A thousands and thousands of people queue for two massive spaceship, placed on red dusty land. Guards patrol the area in black and yellow clothing that matches the spaceships. Forests surrounds the open land. Echo sounds of many conversations as the camera pans around the lines of families with the repeating of ‘Were just going to check on the luggage won't be long. ‘Coming right back.’ Guards stand next to with adults about to leave leaving children and teenagers Camera settles on a small child with a mother which is just behind AMY & BILLY in the queue. A guard stands behind her.
MOTHER (kneeling in front of child) ‘Now I won’t be long I’m just going to put our things away so we can get on the ship to go to space. Exciting right?’ CHILD *Continues to look at the ground*
MOTHER ‘The guards going to show me the way okay, don’t worry about me’
Mother hugs her child. BILLY & AMY are standing behind them in the queue. MOTHER (pointing to BILLY & AMY) ‘look these guys will take care of you while I’m gone’ AMY ‘That's fine, my names Amy and this is my brother Billy our parents have gone to put away the suitcases too they won't be long.’ GUARD ‘Excuse me, we should really be getting a move on…’ MOTHER ‘He’s right I must be going.’
Mother says goodbye to her child with a hug and a wave and follows the guard holding their suitcases. BILLY and AMY are left with the mother's child by them. AMY ‘Great what are we supposed to do with a kid’ BILLY ‘I think you’re missing the bigger picture…’ AMY ‘That is?’ BILLY ‘Why should you have to say goodbye to your child wouldn’t you bring them with you if it’s just to put away luggage’ AMY ‘That’s true and we all hardly brought anything with us anyway, nothing on Earth is truly worth bringing to space.’ BILLY ‘I feel like they aren’t coming back or not while we are waiting to board this ship’ CHILD ‘Does that mean my mums gone for good?’ AMY ‘No...Billy don’t put bad idea into people’s head’
