Scene 1

INT. BEDROOM . EVENING

Turning from the window a vanity set is against the wall, the room is covered in soft orange and dark hues of twilight shining through the window. Following the details of the vanity, a vase of red carnations are next to various pictures and photos lining the vanity mirror, images of a woman with various men, at different sites, places but all the intimate poses of a couple.

A hand moves into the frame, long delicate fingers with deep red nail varnish retrieve a lipstick from the collection of make up on the table, following her hand, now from the front of her, a focus of her applying the lipstick. Dusting a light power across her eye, focus on the right eye. Shifts her bangs across her face and neatens her hair on top. Return to the mouth, a soft smile appears on her face.

Rising she moves across the room, to the wardrobe, standing full on we see her reflection in the mirror on the door, now wearing a pale pink over top and bottoms, on opening the door we watch the back of her head, closing the door her reflection is revealed and she now wears a red dress, looking new and freshly pressed.

She smooths her hair once again and giggles at her reflection, we then have a close of her face, she rolls her eyes up to the right hand corner as if to look at something, we then see an alteration of colours and setting, a fade out into the dream sequence....
