Rough Draft Scene
Mood scene: I’m not sure how the dialogue works, but at least this gives the idea more structure.
INTROD – Limbo
Limbo – an uncertain period of awaiting a decision or resolution; an intermediate state or condition.
I am viewing limbo as a state or place of uncertainty as a result of a dream, near death experience, it is not real nor made-up, it is a surreal place where surreal things can happen. The only way out is through an experience within limbo where you die in order to get back to your actual being.
There are two men standing in a empty room. One of the men has just arrived in limbo and the other one has been there for a while and is wanting to get out.
Will: What are you doing here? Where is this place?
Jack: It’s a dark place, trust me you wanna get out of here.
Will: Wait, what do you mean? Is this real?
Jack: Quiet man, just get me out of here.
Jack begins to get restless and enters a state where he experiences flashbacks things that aren’t possible (Running on Beach, Underwater, floating, Imagery of girl, slowly building faster and faster with ethereal music.
From Jack’s point of view there is a light surrounding him (Lamp with camera in it) Jack is also yelling and it can be heard in the distance.
From Will’s point of view, he can hear nothing and it looks as though jack is yelling into nothing.
The montage cuts to the sound of a gun shot
(Signalling that Jack has escaped Limbo)
Will observes all that has happened
*Jack potentially wakes up in his bed, confused, bad nightmare etc.
