Script ~ Final

Pan from the window down to the dressing table, Delilah walks in to the frame and sits down at the table; she has just come out of the shower and has a towel on her head and a dressing gown on. Delilah starts applying her make up on. There are snap shots, close up of her eyes whilst putting her mascara on and also of her lips whilst putting her lipstick on. (This is all shot through the reflection of Delilah in the mirror, over the shoulder shot)
Delilah walks to the wardrobe (tracking shot)

Delilah

(Over the shoulder) Delilah opens wardrobe, we see a front veiw of her from inside as she shifts the clothes from side to side. We see as she moves it, she's dressed. Delilah closes wardrobe.
The camera then goes back to the dressing table and focuses on the pictures of the two men (stuck on the mirror of the dressing table) in the background we see Delilah (reflection in the mirror) slowly approaching the pictures)
Delilah grabs the pictures.
Close up of Delilah starring at the pictures, Delilah looks up (daydreaming)

Daydream (weird lighting)

Shot of Delilah on bed with James and she is smiling at him, wee see James smiling too, pans to Delilah smiling and when we pan back again we see David, then they start play fighting (action reaction shots, every time shot changes the guy changes too) at the end James grabs the end of the covers and pulls it over them.

Delilah walks past the camera into the dining room.

In the sitting room.

One long take of Delilah setting up the table. Delilah takes the glasses out and lights the candles, Delilah puts the forks and knifes out on the table. Delilah picks up a knife and (casually) and smiles at her own reflection in the knife.

Ding dong (doorbell)

Delilah

Looks up realises that the doorbell has rung and she puts the knife down, as she does so she realises that she has got a string coming out of her dress and she just pulls it out and makes her way to the door.

Hallway

Camera cuts to outside the house where David is coming with red flowers. (Over the shoulder) David sees that the front door is open so he knocks and no one answers so he lets himself inside in order to surprise Delilah.

Delilah opens cookie, inside reads ‘The strings of false love will break’
She looks confused and looks up to see David standing behind James, Delilah looks very scared.

James sees Delilah’s face and in curiosity turns around
(Point of view, from David’s perspective)
James turns to see David and looks at him in disbelief

The red thread has gone very loose and is all over the place, it is all tangled up and the men are spinning around Delilah

Cut back to reality

Men are standing on both sides of Delilah and are arguing

Delilah covers her ears and closes her eyes

James and David

'Were Breaking up!'

Everything gets out of control, David spills the wine and leaves

Abstract

See broken string all over the floor (Delilah has lost control) surrounding Delilah.
Delilah closes her eyes (camera blackout)

Shot of the window in the bedroom, camera pans down to the bed where Delilah is sleeping, the bed looks very messy and all Delilah’s makeup is smudged

Alarm goes off
Delilah grabs alarm and throws it to the wall (camera follows the alarm being thrown), camera is slowly panning back to the bed. Whilst panning we see the photos of the two men on the dressing table and they are crossed off, and we also see dead flowers on the dressing table and all her make up is all over the place and it is very messy.
When camera goes back to Delilah she is slowly getting up, there is a close up of her feet and near them are her red slippers, she pushes them to one side and she just falls back in bed.

Abstract

In the same position as she was in the real world, Delilah is surrounded by strings.
