Firm up of the Script

Hi guys and gals,

After the meeting on Sun, we have more or less firm up the script and ideas. Will brief Audrey more when we meet again but I will just put up a basic flow of the idea here. We can remove/add ideas along the way and hopefully I can come up with a whole flow by this Thurs:

Start (Act 1):

1.)Black screen with words disclaimer saying all the following events and characters are fiction blah blah blah
2.) Show Benny (Lets call our main talent this atm) in interview position. We can do our 3 point lighting here. He will intro himself and will be the main voice over thru several scenes.
3.) As Benny describes himself, we show him doing his morning ritual, getting dressed for work. He is smartly dressed and seem to be doing well.
4.) Benny then describes how he meets Ah Seng his colleague at a kopitiam for bkfast and how he intro Benny to soccer betting
5.) We have a dialogue here between Benny and Ah Seng and Ah seng Describes how he just won 2K from last nights bet on Man U. Benny is interested and learns from Ah Seng how to bet.

Build up (Act 2):

6.) Benny starts betting and wins alot of money. Benny describes how he spends his money, buy exp stuff, car etc and neglects his work and friends. (here we have a short hp conversation with Ah Lee one of his org frd who jio him to go swimming etc but he declines)

7.) Benny describes how slowly he loses control and bets heavily but sustains heavy losses as well. We show him dismay as he watches matches on TV and a mid shot of him facing the mirror every morning but getting more bo chup in his appearance.

8.) We show him being harassed to return money (Pig in door idea here) and Benny describes how he desperately tried to raise $$$ (DVDs, cigarettes, sell his recently bought stuff) and how pple shun him when he tried to approach them (HP call, pple siam him in Kopitiam).

The Climax:

9.) Benny describes his desperate ends at this moment, show him sitting against wall, hands on hair, then he describes ways he tot of to end his life.
10) show benny trying pills (on floor vomiting foam), gas (dead fish in tank), car accident (show him across road and then smash watermelon on road)
11.) Finally he decides on jumping off the HDB. Just as he has one leg up, HP rings.
12.) Ah Lee called him and a dialogue ensues with Ah Lee berating him for ending at such a state and Benny being remorseful. Ah Lee offers him a loan to tide him over.
13.) Show Benny in org interview position as he says he is a change man and swears off betting.
14.) Black screen with words saying not everyone is as lucky and has someone to help them in such crisis. Warn pple to think twice before betting on soccer.
