BURN OUT SCRIPT BENCH + treatment

Main character sat on bus at front. From side. Head down, space on left for title. Brings head up. Far shot of the camera solid follow the bus turning. Far out of Bus sopping. Character gets off. Walking head on, slow zoom in. Narration with chatroom text. Shots of hands typing, shot to show its main character, shot of loads of stuff writen on hands, directsions, what not to say, make, do not trustthem in bold visible. Back to head on, character makes sure to cover their hand covered in pen.

Gets to bench. Sits, on edge, needs to breath.

MEssage, says, I am here. Where are you?

repply, I can see you. Thats all you need to know

Is this a trick? Wheres the info?

I have it. But are you sure you want it.
You know what they will do once they know its with you.

A shot to show mains stress.
Looks around, and keeps phone close. Colar pull, fidget, teeth, breath in.

Yes.

You are ready. Its under the bench.

Shot to underneath, as a hand grabs it.

Exit. Leave on a tense cliffhanger.



DOnt use text messages unless you show the other person. Its hard to show well. If people wanted to read, they would read a book not watch a film.

2.

One on bench. Waiting. Other shows up. Sits. Looks around, obviously on edge.

Incoming: Do, do you have it?

Outgoing: Password.

Incoming: Wwwwhat?

Outgoing; Password. I have to be sure your legit.

Incoming; Uhh...Password?

Outgoing: Correct.

Shocked, hides his shock.  Turns around, fist to moth. eyes wide.

INcoming: So so do you have it?

Outgoing: Have what?

INcoming: (Nervous on edge, shocked, has to whisper, pshing out the words.) The usb!

OUtgoing: Oh that. Nope.

Incoming: What!? (even more shocked)

Outgoing: Are you a counter spy? (serious), eyes shift to incoming. Very overly dramatic.

Incoming:...No? out it squeeked

Outgoing: Well thats Good. That would be quite bad.

Incoming: Yeah, yeah it would.( hand behind head, relived. )

Outgoing: But...what if I WAS THE COUNTER SPY?!

Incoming: Then..then... (sweat)

Outgoing: Then if you were also a counter spy, everything would be fine. :) We would be on the same team.

Incoming: Yeah, yeah right. (Really confused and nervous now. ) Thinks: SO what is he actually?  A spy or a counter spy? Is he trying to send a message to me, or catch me out as a counter spy? Is he even a spy?

Outcoming: But then if I was the counterspy and you were not, you would be in trouble.

Icoming: Yes, yes I would.

Outgoing: But you know what would be worse?

Incoming: What?

Outgoing: If I was a counter-counter spy? What then eh?

Incoming: Then...Then if I was a counter spy I guess I would have a bad time.

Outcoming: Yes, you would.

Incoming: Yes I would.

...

Outgoing: Well good thing your not a counter spy!

Incoming: And good thing your not a counter counter spy!

Outgoing: Very true.

Incoming: Yeah! So where's the stick if you don't have it?

Outgoing: (Relaxed arms back.) Under that bench. All you have to do is turn around and get it.

Incoming; Alright.

Gets up, hand in jacket.

Incoming: Hands up busta, I know your a counter spy!

Outgoing: Shock!

Incoming: I'm a counter-counter spy!

Outgoing: But thats where your wrong!

Incoming: Huh

Outgoing: Im a counter, counter counter spy! I counter you! I see right thought your sneaky counter counter spy rouse.

Incoming: Oh shit! Im outcountered here!

Outgoing: We knew after we countered that first spy, you would find out and deploy a counter counter spy to counter our counter counter. So now we have the upper han-

Number 3: Have no fear, Im a counter- counter-counter-counter spy sent to save you.

Outgoing:...Im gonna need more counter spies up in here.

blends into (Montage of counter spies showing up. Dozens of voices growing keep saying counter.)

Builds up with a cresendo.

Ends with all at night trying to keep track of the spies. Trying to figure out who has the upper hand.

One says. Enough counters. I'm going home.

Wait....That means if we can figure out what counter that guy is, we can find out who isnt being countered on our team. That means that we are now un-countered!

No! turns head Come back!

No, im going home....

...

Both crowds stare.

Hey! Im an ultimate spy of the 3rd spy faction! I counter you all!

ALL SHOCK.

Dont be so sure of yourself! Im a ultimate counter spy and I-

Another pops out slowmo on head.

Back to the Ultimate counter spy. Oh shit.

le End. "Not this again."




Sounds: Need music rising, as well as the montage.

Elephant sounds, duck sounds, piano deep, ways to show shock, using louder animals to show they counter the other.

Get shot of sunrise either by myself, or use free one.

Sounds for over dramatic movements.

foley and wild tracks. leaves , traffic. Crikkets.

Treatment 

Synopsis

2 spies meet at a bench to exchange an usb stick with information on cold fusion.

They begin to doubt each others credibility before engaging in combat, with the help of their other operatives.

After an intense race war, one of the spies decides to go home, leaving his team at a disadvantage.

Finally both teams are put in danger after a secret 3rd spy army shows up, ready to demolish them all.



Location. In the park, on the bench. Needs depth, as well as a easy exit point and movement in the background, thats interesting enough.

Day and Night filming in the same location, for the effect of time passing/has passed.

Camera
Close ups showing small details. Also wide shots to give perspective and making it clear when the characters are after a close up.
