Fade in:

EXT. GARDEN – AFTERNOON

AT FIRST CLOSE UPS OF DIFFERENT OBJECTS WILL BE SHOWN.

A FLOWER, A BUG, LEAVES, WOOD AND BRICKS.

THIS SHOWS THAT SOMETHING IS HAPPENING IN THE OUTSIDE. IN THIS CASE A

HIGHLY DEADLY VIRUS.

AFTER THE CLOSE UP SHOTS A LARGE AREA WILL BE SHOWN TO SHOW THE
DISCERTED WORLD.

INT. STEPHEN’S KITCHEN – EARLY EVENING

WIDE SHOT OF THE DARK GLOOMY KITCHEN TO SHOW THAT THERE IS LITTLE LIGHT
TO SYMBOLISE THE EMOTION OF LITTLE HAPPINESS.

ALL THE CHAIRS TO THE KITCHEN TABLE WILL BE NEATLY TUCKED UNDER APART
FROM ONE TO SHOW THAT THE ACTOR IS ALONE.

THERE WILL ALSO BE ONE BOWL IN THE SICK WITH ONE SPOON AND ONE CUP. THIS
IS TO SHOW THAT HE IS EATNG ALONE AND TO REALLY EXAGEERATE THAT HE IS
ALONE.

CLOSE UPS SHOWN OF LITTLE FOOD LEFT, WHAT TYPE OF FOOD IS LEFT, DISHES
IN SINK, THINGS STARTING TO NOT WORK AND BREAK.

STEPHEN. CLOSE UP PAN UP

SMALL, DIRTY WORN OUT FEET THAT ARE NOT LOOKED AFTER.

TROUSERS THAT ARE TOO SHORT TO EVEN REACH HIS ANKLES BECAUSE HE IS
UNABLE TO GO OUT TO BUY NEW CLEAN CLOTHES.

AS IT PANS TO HIS WASIT WE SEE THE JEANS FITTING TOO TIGHT ON HIS
STOMACH THAT IT LEVES A SLIGHTLY RED MARK AND PATTERN. WE CAN ALSO SEE
HOW DIRTY THEY HAVE GOTTEN OVER TIME IN LOCKDOWN.

HIS TOP IS PLAIN AND DIRTY WITH A FEW HOLES IN FROM BEING WORN TOO MUCH.

HIS SLEEVES ARE TOO SHORT AND THE TOP GRABS TIGHTLY AROUND HIS BODY.

AS IT PANS TO HIS NECK WE CAN SEE DIRTY MARKS WHERE HE DOESN’T HAVE
ENOUGH BODYWASH LEFT. THIS SHOWS HOW BAD THE CONDITIONS ARE IN LOCKDOWN.

FINALLY, AS IT GETS TO HIS FACE WE CAN SEE HIS BAGS UNDER HIS EYES AND
HIS DIRTY, PALE BUT ROSIE FACE.
HIS HAIR IS LONG AND SCRUFFY LIKE IT HASN’T BEEN LOOKED AFTER IN MONTHS.

INT. STEPHENS KITCHEN – EARLY EVENING

STEPHEN GETS A TIN OF FOOD OUT OF HIS DARK BROWN, STILL IN GOOD USE
CUPBOARDS.

HE THEN PULLS A BRIGHT RED TIN OPENING OUT OF THE DARK BROWN CUPBOARDS
WHICH STANDS OUT FROM ALL THE OTHER GLOOMY OBJECTS.

STARTS TO OPEN THE TIN BUT STRUGGLES FROM HOW WEAK STEPHEN HAS BECAME.
STEPHEN FINISHES OPENING THE TIN AND GETS A BOWL OUT OF THE CUPBOARDS
FOR HIM TO USE.

HE THEN PUTS THE TINNED FOOD INTO THE BOWL TO PUT INTO THE MICROWAVE TO
SHOW HOW LITTLE HE IS USING IN ORDER TO SAVE POWER DURING LOCKDOWN.

INT. STEPHENS HOUSE – EVENING

AFTER STEPHEN HAD HIS FOOD HE BEGINS TO TREMBLE UPSTAIRS TO GET READY
FOR BED FOR ANOTHER LONG DAY TOMORROW.

INT. STEPHENS BEDROOM – EVENING

STEPHEN WALKS INTO HIS ROOM TURNING HIS BEDSIDE LIGHT ON AND HIS MAIN
LIGHT OFF

HE THEN CLOSES HIS BEDROOM DOOR AND GET READY FOR BED INTO SOME WARM
CLOTHES

STEPHEN SLOWLY PULLS HIS COVERS UP IN ORDER TO GET INTO HIS BED READY TO
SLEEP
N
WHEN HE GETS INTO BED HE COVERS HIMSELF IN HIS COVERS TO KEEP THE COLD
OUT.

10 HOURS PAST

EXT. STEPHENS BEDROOM – SUNRISE

AS STEPHEN WAKES UP HE LOOKS OUT HIS WINDOW AT THE BEAUTIFUL SUN RISING.
AS HE LOOKS AT IT HE THEN LOOKS DOWN AT THE EMPTY ROADS AND REMEMBERS
WHAT IS GOING ON IN HIS LIFE AT THE MOMENT.

STEPHEN THEN STARTS TO GET DRESSED INTO HIS WARMEST CLOTHES AS IT IS

ALWAYS COLD IN THE MORNINGS.
AS HE IS GETTING DRESSED, HE STARTS TO NOTICE HIS HANDS AND FEET GOING A
WEIRD COLOUR.

INT. STEPHEN’S BATHROOM – MORNING

NOTICING HIS SKIN GOING WEIRD HE THEN TAKES HIS CLOTHES OFF TO RUN
HIMSELF A SMALL BATH TO SAVE WATER.

STEPHENS DROPS IN THE TINY BIT OF BUBBLE BATH HE HAS LEFT TO MAKE
HIMSELF FEEL FRESH

AS HE IS IN THE BATH HE STARS TO GET REALLY HUNGRY

INT. STEPHEN’S KITCHEN – EARLY AFTERNOON

STEPHEN GOES TO MAKE HIMSELF TINNED FOOD AGAIN BUT REALISES HE DOESN’T
LIKE IT.

HE THEN GOES TO LOOK IN THE FRIDGE AND SEE SOMES MEAT IN THERE WAITING
TO BE COOKED.

STEPHEN THEN GOES TO TAKE A BITE OUT OF THE RAW MEAT AND ENJOYS IT SO
ENDS UP EATING THE WHOLE THING RAW.

THIS IS WHEN HE REALISES, HE IS NOT HIMSELF ANYMORE AND FEARS HE HAS THE
VIRUS.

INT. STEPHEN’S FRONTROOM – AFTERNOON

STEPHENS THEN STARTS TO LOOK UP ON HIS PHONE SYMPTONS OF THE VIRUS

STEPHEN

HEY, THIS CANT BE TRUE. GREENISH SKIN, EATING RAW MEAT, FEELING
EXHAUSTED AND ANGRY ALL THE TIME AND TEMPERATURE.
I BETTER GET MYSELF CHECKED OUT AT ST LEWIS’ HOSPITAL BEFOFE I GET ANY
WORSE.

EXT. STEPHENS FRONTDOOR – AFTERNOON

STEPHEN OPENS HIS FRONT DOOR TO GET READY TO WALK TO THE HOSPITAL.

AS STEPHEN OPEMS THE DOOR SOMEONE IS STOOD THERE LOOKING LIKE A ZOMBIE.

IT IS THEN WHEN HE REALISES WHAT HE IS TURNING INTO AND DECIDES TO TRY

KEEP HIMSELF INSIDE SO HE DOESN’T EFFECT ANYONE ELSE.

INT. STEPHEN’S BEDROOM – LATE AFTERNOON

STEPHENS IS SAT ON HIS BED CURLED UP IN HIS BLANKET. HE STARTS TO SWEAT

AND REALISES THAT HE IS NO LONGER HOT AND HE BEGINS TO GET A
TEMPERATURE.

AS THE TEMPERATURE COMES ALONG STEPHEN STARTS TO SHAKE ON HIS BED IN

FEAR

INT. STEPHEN’S HALLROOM -EVENING

STEPHEH SLOWLY WALKS TO HIS FRONT DOOR.

HE NEEDS FOOD TO EAT AND IN ORDER TO GET HIS FOOD HE MUST GO OUTSIDE TO
HUNT

STEPHEN HAS THE VIRUS AND IS UNABLE TO STAY INSIDE.

2 HOURS PAST

STEPHEN FINALLY DECIDES TO GO OUTSIDE AFTER DEBATING IT.

HE NOTICED HOW THE MAN AT HIS DOOR DIDN’T ATTACK HIM SO HE WILL BE SAFE
NEAR OVER INFECTED PEOPLE WHO SADLY GOT THE VIRUS
