THE SCRIPT


Scene 1.  

Opens with Sophia Green letting go of a red balloon. Sophia Green looks sad. (This scene will be in slow motion) 
Voice over of girl speaking:
Earth to earth, Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust;
In sure and certain hope of the Resurrection unto eternal life.

Scene 2: Sophia Green is walking down a quiet street on her down, she looks thoughtful. She is on her own. (This scene will be in slow motion) 

Voice over of Sophia Green speaking: 

My name is Sophia Green,
I am seventeen years old,
I live here.
This is the sun,
The clouds,
The moon,
And the stars.

There are estimated 7 billion people on the earth,
I am the 5,676,854,910th person
My average life expectancy is 81.7 years.

Scene 3:
Sophia Green is making a cup of tea. She concentrates on the tea, as though her thoughts are elsewhere:
   Voice over of Sophie Green speaking: The average person drinks 74802 cups of tea a lifetime.
According to legend, tea was first discovered by the Chinese emperor and inventor in 2737 BC
    

Sophia Green is drinking her tea, again she is reflective, again looking distracted by something on her mind  
Voice over of Sophia Green speaking:  
The silence, at least,  
Like a cooling incinerator was an afterlife.  
As it cooled every clinker inched it's shadow wider and darker  
like a little door.  
There we camped.
The most inimical place I ever was in.  
Too late to go on. I remember – Ted Hughes  


Scene 4:  
Sophia Green stares out of the window 

Voice over of Sophia Green speaking    earth to earth,  
ashes to ashes,  
dust to dust;  
in sure and certain hope of the Resurrection unto eternal life.
