Script
Script: Pre- production
Bad Habits
The logo will first appear on the screen with the sound of thunder and rain in the background which will then reveal my first scene. It's raining which resembles the mood of the film. My first shot of my film is going to be a moving shot of a car with a girl in it, looking very emotional and frustrated. Then a close up of the same girl but this time inside of the car, I'm going to edit this part in slow motion to add to the mundanity. The title of the movie 'Bad Habits' and is going to be on screen is going to be during the clip whilst the song 'Fools in Love' by Inara George is played.
A close up of Leah happens where she looking glum and looks as if she's in thought. She moves her hair to the side and continues to look out of the car.
A flashback happens when she's in the bathroom she's younger, checking herself out in the bathroom. An over the shoulder shot of three girls a bit older than Leah come into frame.
Bully 1: Listen yeah, yeah you
Bully 2: What did we tell you?
Bully 3: Fix up blud!
At this moment Leah is intimidated by the girls and steps back.
Leah: Er...Er.
Bully 1: This is the freak I was telling you about
Bully 2: This quiet little shit i swear she was perving on us the other day
Bully 3: She was watching us in the changing room, what a little bitch
(Bully pushes her to the floor, frightened she drops and looks down)
Leah: No...no i swear i didn't
(Leah starts getting hit, they start recording her on their phone)
A clip from the first part where Leah is in the car shows again so people know it's a flashback and now it's in the present
Another flashback to when she is drinking for the first time. Her friends are sat in a circle and they're playing a drinking game. One person spins the bottle and it lands on Leah.
ALL: LEAH! We like to drink with Leah coz Leah is our mate... (Leah is drinking the bottle and she nearly finishes it before the countdown)
8...7...6...5...4...3...2...1
Another shot of Leah in the car sighing.
Flashback to an adult party happens she is getting offered cocaine and alcohol. The song Stay High starts to play as she is a bit dizzy from the drugs in her system.
A guy walks towards and starts whispering in her ear they start flirting and getting closer.
Guy: Do you want a drink?
Leah: Yeah.
As he orders the drink a close up of his pocket happens where he is taking out some drugs. He looks around to see if anyone checks then pour the drug into her cup.
The scene moves quickly onto Leah lying on the floor not wearing much, tears falling down. She doesn't know where she is going to dial on her phone '999.'

Scene Treatment
Scene Treatment: Pre- production
She is recollecting past memories which cause her to have the flashback of her childhood where she was getting picked on by these older girls. I'm going to be using my main characters younger sister to re-enact this part, this will be filmed in a toilet which gives an urban feel to it. This experience then leads on to the first time she had alcohol. I'm going to film this at a house location where she's at a house party with a bunch of her friends who obtained a bottle of vodka. She is brave enough to try it- a lot of it. This event inevitably results in her life spiralling downwards and turning to alcoholism, hanging out with the wrong people and harder drugs.Her life turned into constant partying and relieving her sorrows through drinking and taking drugs (clips of partying scenes are shown). The song Stay High (hippie sabotage remix) by Tove Lo during all this. All of the partying scenes will be filmed in a drama room where I can add flashing and gobo lights to the performance.
Plot Treatment
Plot Treatment: Pre-production
The title screen is going to be during the part where the main character Leah is sat in the car, looking glum then a flashback scene of her childhood is shown where she is getting picked on by these older girls. This doesn't stop until it leads to her spiralling downwards and turning to alcoholism and hanging out with the wrong people. Her life turns into constant partying and relieving her sorrows through drinking and taking drugs. However, the flashback that has the most impact on her life is when her drink got spiked during one of her partying sessions and she gets dragged out at first quite calmly but then it gets more aggressive and sexual which leads on to the next morning her waking up. The audience can only presume that she has been raped.
Weakened by these events she gets driven back to her family home where she hasn't been for a long time. Her childhood wasn't that great she lived with her younger sister and mother; her mother abused her and her sibling emotionally and physically when she couldn't be bothered to deal with them, however, no one really knew what she had been doing to her kids. One day she went out with her friends but upon coming back from the party she got killed from drunk driving. Consequently, their grandparents brought them up, even though they had quite old fashioned views she was happier with them. She and her sister were never really close but they always protected each other. When Leah grew up she moved away so her sister was left to fend for herself.
She never really knew her father but upon looking at some old photographs she decides she should look for him. Whilst asking around she comes across an old friend of her mother's who has a daughter named Rebecca. They grew up together but haven't seen each other in years when they finally see each other there is this instant attraction. The cliche love story happens and Leah asks her to help search for her father. Eventually, they find clues to her father. However, it's not the indictment she wanted to hear. Leah's father had died because he couldn't take being able to support himself as he was in so much debt, so he decided to end his life knowing he can't stand any longer without anything- not even love.
Leah is so distraught by coming across this news, that she leaves again without telling Rebecca. She just wants to hide and get out of the situation. These events lead her to go into a convenience store and buy herself a bottle of vodka. This again leads to her drinking her sorrows away. Everything seems to be repeating itself, her bad habit. Rebecca keeps calling her, she's so worried that she will do something that she'll regret.
