Help Wanted Script
EXT. SCENE 1. HOUSE VIEW. MORNING.
Scene opens on an out of focus shot of Auckland City Skyline then goes into focus. It is just after sunrise where the sun is just coming over the skyline. In the background there is an orchestral piece that creates a sense of suspense but underlies the voiceover and other subsequent background sounds (shower and phone).
INT. SCENE 2. BEDROOM. MORNING.
Wide shot (high angle/birds eye view) of EVAN SILVA in bed awake. This then cuts to an extreme close-up shot of EVAN SILVA’s eyes as he stares at the ceiling in silent anticipation for his alarm to go off. He is possibly restless from one of his jobs the night before which justifies his heightened state. Alarm clock goes off and his eyes look toward it on his bedside table.
EVAN SILVA (V.O.)People ask me if I'm content with my job. I usually just stick to a
regular response and shrug off the question.
INT. SCENE 3. BEDROOM. MORNING.
Mid-shot of EVAN SILVA’s hand turning off the alarm.
INT. SCENE 4. BEDROOM. MORNING.
Close-up shot of EVAN SILVA’s feet and in the background there is a black duffel bag sitting underneath his bed, with the contents of a gun and money in frame.
EVAN SILVA (V.O.)But really it's a very demanding occupation.
INT. SCENE 5. BATHROOM. MORNING.
Establishing shot of bathroom showing counter and shower which is fogged up from the warm water and condensation. The sound of running water is heard.
EVAN SILVA (V.O.)The thing about my job is, I have two of them. While that might seem justifiable with the rough times and cuts and economy ever shifting,
it's not that simple.
INT. SCENE 6. BATHROOM. MORNING.
Over the shoulder shot of EVAN SILVA using a face cloth to scrub his face whilst simultaneously obscuring his appearance until he pulls it away and reveals his face (if condensation obstructs the reflection in the mirror EVAN SILVA will wipe it away in one clean motion). 1EVAN opens up the mirror cabinet and takes out some medication which he then swallows and places back in the cabinet.
Phone begins to ring in background causing EVAN SILVA to look down and pick it up then brings it into frame whilst simultaneously answering it. He then looks back to the mirror and the scene cuts to
EVAN SILVA (V.O.)
One of them is working at a bar for my boss, serving drinks to clients so you hear a lot of information. But the other...is
very...disruptive.
EMPLOYERWe have another job for you.
EVAN SILVA I’m listening.
