What's Inside screenplay and final product

in #filmmaking3 years ago

If you've ever wondered how a screenplay becomes a film, here's a sketch I wrote and then a link to the final product:

Main Action is framed by lots of happy couple videos, heads
close tight on them.
Main action: Touchy-feely couple giving nose kisses.

What's Inside is the only matching site
that boasts a 100% success rate. That's
because our couples get to a level of
intimacy rare outside of marriage on
their very first date so they can learn
What's Inside right away.

The couple can't keep their hands off each other- playing with
hair, holding hands, etc.

WOMAN - TOUCHY

I saw him, and right away, deep down, I
felt something moving.

Zoom to a new couple in the frame. This is emotional couple,
there's so much love in what they say.

MAN - EMOTIONAL

What's Inside is all about jumping in. I
know she loves me for what's inside.

Zoom the frame to practical couple:
WOMAN - PRACTICAL
We've seen each other at our most
vulnerable. Everybody should get that
chance, and right from the start, so you
don't waste time.

Cut to no frame of couples, just a man in a suit talking to
camera, foot propped up on a loose stool. Chyron over him says
"Dr. Stern - Founder, Maker, and Prime Mover of What's Inside"

DR. STERN

We designed our process after years of
observing happily married couples. What
made marriages last happily? Other sites
use hundreds of variables, but we cut
right to What's Inside. Ultimately, if
you can poop in front of your partner,
you've found your forever match.

Cut to the emotional couple, they can't take their eyes off each
other, she's seated on a toilet, he's looking up at her
lovingly, head rested on his arms crossed on her lap. She's so
full of emotion, the words are hard to find.

FEMALE - EMOTIONAL

When you meet someone through What's
Inside, you know that their love is -
...

MALE - EMOTIONAL

Two-Ply.

FEMALE - EMOTIONAL

Exactly.

MALE - EMOTIONAL

Everybody holds something in. What's
Inside opens them up.

Cut to the touchy-feely couple. She's perched on the back of the
toilet, giving him a shoulder massage while he sits on the
toilet.

FEMALE - TOUCHY

What's Inside relaxes you so you can
just let it all out and be yourself.

MALE - TOUCHY

You know how, to pick a melon, sometimes
you just have to smell it? The same is
true for people.

Begin on Dr. Stern, then show inserts: Scented candles in the
bathroom, toilet paper roll over the top, another with the paper
under, closed toilet covers.

DR. STERN

The What's Inside process begins with
the Strike a Match questionnaire. If
their potty habits light a flame in your
heart, you'll be able to skip past all
the awkwardness. An 85 dollar value that
you'll get free with your new What's
Inside account.

Cut to practical couple, holding hands.
MALE - PRACTICAL

When I saw her grunting, I thought, "I
shall have no secrets from this woman".

FEMALE - PRACTICAL

When I take long baths, I don't have to
feel guilty about hogging the bathroom,
because he has no shame.
MALE - PRACTICAL

No shame, and very low cholesterol
levels.
Back to touchy couple:

MALE - TOUCHY
Sometimes I eat roses.
FEMALE - TOUCHY

All you have to do is relax, and What's
Inside takes care of the rest.

Cut to new couple -

WOMAN - ENTHUSIASTIC

Our What's Inside date was great. I felt
like we were already married. We shared
our favorite YouTube videos and didn't
have to pause for any bathroom breaks.

Over a logo that fills the screen like water filling a toilet
(I'm not a graphic designer, but someone somewhere is):
