Initial Script

Three-Act Structure

Ryan Leitao
Act 1
 Narrator is introduced
 Tells us we’re at war
 Introduces the threat- Pathogens, specifically Bacteria

Act 2
 Shows the infection process
o Needle infected with bacteria penetrates skin
o Bacteria spreads into the blood stream
o Bacteria multiplies
o Bacteria releases toxins
 Cuts back to narrator who tells audience that they have an inner army to fight this threat
o Introduces White Blood Cells, Phagocytes
 Phagocytes come in
o Ingests bacteria
o Also use enzymes to attack/neutralise the toxins
o Phagocytes are overwhelmed by the number of multiplying bacteria
 Narrator then assures the audience that this is not the end of the phagocytes
o Phagocytes call in the Lymphocytes
 Lymphocytes are introduced by the narrator

Act 3
o Lymphocytes come into the scene
o Receptors come into contact with the Bacteria
o Lymphocytes start to rapidly multiply after confrontation
o Lymphocytes then makes lots of proteins called antibodies that attack the bacteria
o The antibodies have a number of neutralisation techniques
 They bind to pathogens to destroy them
 They bind to the pathogens and release chemical signals to attract
phagocytes
 They bind pathogens together so they are ingested more easily by the
phagocytes.
