The Choice
The Choice
A Short Film by Oliver Smyth
The Cop – Voiceover
The voiceover will
be accompanied by a collection of shots, starting with a close up of The Cop’s
face taking up one half of the shot, the other half shrouded in rain.
“This city is
Diseased.
The vermin that call
it home infected it with crime.”
The camera observes
as he walks along the canal-side, unaffected by the rain.
“Theft, rape &
murder are just a daily occurrence, as sure as the sun will rise and set.
Half the police are
paid to turn a blind eye, but I see it. I always see it.”
He stops on a
bridge and looks at a photo, it’s of a girl. His daughter. The Girl.
“It took the disease
to affect me first hand however to do something.”
A flashback of when
The Cop finds The Girl plays, before cutting to int. of a dingy shed/garage/basement
with The Boy tied to up on the floor.
“But what do you do
with the scum when the justice system is unjust; they’re barely behind bars
before they’re back on the streets.”
A series of close-ups of The Boy, The Cop,
His Badge and His Gun.
“I want to remove
this tumour from my city surgically.
But I can’t.
Can I?”
Cut to Title Scene
The Chase

The Boy – Voiceover
The voiceover will be accompanied by a collection of shots, starting
with a steady cam following The Boy through a forest. Various different shots
will be used during this chase scene.
The Boy never looks back.
“It was never intentional.
She was a friend who tried to help me.”
Cut to Title Scene
“And now you’ll come for me.”
The Boy leaves the woods and appears in a Retail car park, the camera
pans as he looks around.
“You’ll never believe me.
All I can do is run.”
A wide angle shot watches The Boy run across a bridge.
“I’ll run until my heart burst and my legs give out.”
Various shots of The Boy running through an urban environment.
“Then I’ll run some more, because I know it’s nothing compared to what
you’ll do to me.”
The Boy is on a rooftop.
“Handing myself in to you would effectively be signing my own death
warrant.”
The door handle to the roof turns slowly before the shot fades to
black.

The Girl - Voiceover
The voiceover will be accompanied by a collection of shots, starting
with a close-up of two children (The Girl & The Boy).
“You were always unreliable as a friend, but this was different. This
was serious.”
Then a shot of The Boy being held against a wall by The Shark.
“When we were kids “trouble” was a school bully, but we had to grow up.
I suppose a loan shark is like a bully, but five grand is a bit bigger than
some sandwiches and a packet of crisps.”
Then int. cupboard as door opens and washing detergent is removed, the
next shot shows The Girl remove a large sum of money.
“But of course I bailed you out, what choice did I have? Dad’d hate me
for using the last of mum’s inheritance but It was what I had to do.
It was my money, so I needed to set things straight…”
Int. a modern family
house, The Girl is with The Boy, ready to hand the money over to The Shark
The Shark – “It’s all there?”
The Girl – “£5,000. Now you’re even and he’ll have nothing
more to do with you.” She turns to face
The Boy “Isn’t that right?”
The Shark – “Not quite” He
stabs The Girl and as she falls he wipes the knife handle and throws it to The
Boy. “This is your mess” And with
that, he exits.
The camera focuses on
the knife in The Boy’s hands, and then fades to black.
DepicT Update
I may be running behind on this project but that's because I've gone into A James Cameron-esque, perfectionist mode. However, I've finished the 3rd and final drafts of the Three short films I intend on shooting, I have cast all four parts and I'm currently in the process of acquiring certain locations for filming. With any luck, by this time next week I should be in the Editor's chair with plenty of footage to work through, and hopefully finish off everything the week after, knock on wood.
So now I'm going to upload the Three scripts for the general public to inspect and give me feedback. Enjoy.
