This is our first draft of a script.
A break down of our decisions-
The credits are black over white as this represents heaven. Last names are upside down, a visual representation of heaven and hell.
The white room is a void. It tells us nothing. It is neither good nor bad.
The characters behaviors, that of accepting whatever its surroundings present them with, add onto the disturbance and allows the audience to focus on the dilemma. Also it would allow us to build up a contrast and an ascending tension, as the man realizes just how bad Steve is and the situation he's in. The film would end with Steve(man) having a breakdown as he realizes what he did and his situation.
Dainty, and all of the characters pop up randomly. She kind of just appears. Again, this is to add to the confusion and the fact that nothing has an explanation, it just happens, as this is not real life.
Dainty's name represents Dante, as she is going to be the main guide for Steve, as she was hurt the worst by him.
I took inspiration for the title from the shot "FLEABAG". News-flash, I LOVE THIS SHOW. I want the film to be quiet, to not be chaotic, so I like the sudden contrast between silence and loud noise.
I picked black for the background as it represents hell.
Maria's name represents The Virgin Mary, and the representation of women in the bible. To quote Laura Dern in "Marriage Story", "She's a virgin who gives birth." I will expand more on this on my character blog.
The room slowly becomes filled with "bits" of Steve, pictures on the wall, and the room is no longer just white.
The scene ends with the man being a douchebag. He is undermining their issues.
