WHISPERS OF DEPARTURE

EXT. OUTSIDE HOUSE - DAY

Lily, a 16 year old girl who has short hair and is wearing
baggy jeans with a hoodie, dressed in a colourful outfit is
found to be sat outside the house on the doorstep, her
expression is sad and we don't know what's up with her. The
door suddenly opens as we see a shot of legs walk out wearing
baggy jeans, Lily glancing up at the figure who is Liam, the
other main character. Their faces are full of sadness yet
determination to make the most of their last day together.

Without another word spoken, Liam reaches out his hand as


Lily is helped up, they step out of shot to go enjoy the rest
of the day.

glasses. They end up walking to a park as they sit down on an
empty bench.

The park is quiet as it lets them reflect and recall all of


their memories together of how they used to play and mess
around in the past.

colours created from the sun.

car as we see him pause, not wanting to get in.

short montage playing throughout.
