Script Rewrite


In the opening scene the camera pans across floor of a messy dirty room of the unsuccessful person. This then transitions into the same camera angle panning across the floor of a much nicer clean tidy room belonging to the person’s successful counterpart. Next back in the unsuccessful world there is a close up of an alarm clock as it goes off followed by a hand slamming down and turning it off. As it hits the alarm clock and hand changes to that of the successful persons. The next shot is a split screen between both of the worlds. The camera is positioned to film just above the bed so that as they rise from their sleep they come into the shot. Camera is then positioned just above floor level of unsuccessful room focused on slippers which feet then go into. Feet are then followed as they walk out of room. Next shot is of staircase in successful life as actor comes into shot and walks down the stairs. Next is a long shot of successful life filling up a kettle. As turns to counter camera moves with him and transitions into unsuccessful doing the same and putting the kettle on. Next the kettle is shot in a close up using shallow focus. This then changes to the same shot of the other kettle also using shallow focus. While this is happening sound of the water boiling is heavily focused on. This same focus on sound is then used in an overhead shot of water being poured into mug. Next milk is poured into mug of the successful world and stirred.  Camera then changes to toast popping up. Hand then takes toast and camera follows transitioning into other world. Toast is then buttered and jammed in a close up. Next is a split screen of both worlds in a close up of mouth as bite into toast and eat. Scene then changes to in shower where camera is looking up at shower head as water is turned on. Vision is then obscured by water and when turns off now focused on shower head of successful life. Shot as hand grabs towel fumbles drops and then picks up again as camera follows. There is then a close up of tooth paste being put on tooth brush which changes to a close up on unsuccessful face as he brushes his teeth. As bends down to spit out he goes out of picture and head that comes back up is that off successful life. Scene then changes to back in bedrooms where various shots of each world are taken at close up of them getting dressed. Unsuccessful is really quick and casual so is also rolling a joint. There is then a first person shot of the unsuccessful person opening his front door. Use exposure of light to transition to long shot of successful person shutting his front door. Next there is a split screen of both men walking with the camera facing them shooting them in a medium close up. After this unsuccessful is at bus stop and there is a focus shift to the successful life in the background. Shot of successful one going into shop followed by tilt up to name of shop (Being a nice shop) this then changes to a charity shop and camera tilts down to see unsuccessful one coming out. Then changes to a split screen of both getting texted about a date close up on the phones and each one on replying. We then see successful one going into working filmed at a long shot. The scene then changes to first person opening his front door and going into house. Gets inside still first person see coming in with a group of guys all wearing football shirts etc. Changes to them all sitting on sofa drinking some beers they all jump up when goal is scored looking happy excited and glad to be with each other. the Camera changes to small tinny tv with football games on. This then changes to computer screen of successful life at work. Has a sandwich alone at work. Changes back to unsuccessful one getting ready for date.  Successful has no time as too busy working. Scene then changes to split screen both waiting to meet their dates. Successful one is waiting in a nice restaurant whilst other one is in a pub. Split screen then moves to unsuccessful one whose date has turned up. Meanwhile successful has been stood up and is looking sad. Scene then changes to split screen of them both walking home. Same camera angle of them walking as earlier on. Successful is walking alone while other one is walking with date on his arm.  Get into houses successful is greeted by cat as typical stereo type of lonely person. Unsuccessful has a smile on his face and is kissing girl. Closing scene unsuccessful rolls over in bed alone to see successful spooning with date. Closing scene both looking at each other from an aerial view.
