Chosen Story

I decided to go with the story idea that used time travel (had no title).

Here is the script (including some brainstorm) for that one: (Copied from Word)


What does antagonist do? Ambushes him with water balloons
What does protagonist do? Time travels to stop antagonist from throwing water balloons
Complications:
His actions cause something bad to happen to the antagonist (Suicide? Run over?)
The programs trial usage expires so he is stuck and has to pay

Roles:
Protagonist: James
Antagonist (needs to water balloon - reward is water balloon me): Peter
Friend at home (needs irony): Anthony


Open on front door - hand opens
Inside - character walks in (angry)
Slams door
"Oh hello I didn't hear you come in" (ironic)
“That stupid kid did it again!”
“What?”
“He threw water balloons at me!”
(says like so what?) “It’s raining”
“Yeh… well…it’s the thought that counts!”
Storms off to the computer
Sits down logs in
Sees a web ad for time travel computer program
It reads: Having a bad day? Try Apples Time Machine - Now on windows!
Shrugs: "Why not?"
Installs free trial - uses it - sets the time to 30 minutes beforehand.
Looks around - looks outside - “Huh, well that was useless.”
Walk out to the room again, he is now in the kitchen
"Oh hey, I didn’t hear you come in" (not sarcastic)
(main guy is puzzled)
"Was it an early finish today?"
Sees clock
“Uh…Yea”
Realises the program does work - rushes outside - sees himself getting water bombed
Runs back inside - sets the time travel time again
Fills up his own water balloons and then hides in wait. He ambushes the antagonist with water balloons and knocks him onto the road to get run over.
Woops
Goes back to reset time but finds the one-use trial has expired.
Does he pay money to reset time or let the guy be dead? ‘Tense’ (comedy) camera shots of ‘thinking’
Decides to pay the fee
Sets time again - it asks are you sure - if you are going back to fix a mistake we now have a reset feature. - uses this warning you may be disorientated
Fix it using handy reset in program (with warning on program "you will retain memories")
Wakes up from sleep like woa! What a dream - pans to reveal cliffhanger - IT WASN’T A DREAM!
END
