Script Analysis

"A: (close up of his face, he wakes up confused, camera follows him up) Err… (Looks around) Where am I?" - He has woken up in the middle of a forest with out knowing how he got there.



"P: (P and M looks at A) what’s a four letter word that sounds like zero?" - the answer is hero, referring to the programme 'Heroes'.



"A: (Looks very confused and slightly annoyed) Wha? (P and M looks at him with hope)…What the F-" - This is to break the tension into the title, like 'Lost' where they build up tension before the titles.



"M: The Magic 8 Ball took us here. I was thinking of Thorpe Park but P the animal lover here (looks at P) was day dreaming about the woods." - This is just to explain how the other two characters got into the woods.



"A: (Laughs) that’s a bit stupid!" "M: Don’t insult her! (Talks to the Magic 8 ball and strokes it) Its ok he didn’t mean it, he’s just ignorant." - We needed to make it hard for them to get back to where they were from, so we gave the 8 ball a personality and it didn't like being called stupid, so it refused to take them anywhere



"M: (talks to the 8 ball) I’m sorry sweety, I didn’t mean to shout. Are you upset with the bad man you called you stupid, don’t worry M is here" - We made this character to be obsessed, almost in love, with the magic 8 ball to mock 'Gollum' from 'Lord of the Rings' and to create humour.



"P: So… Who are you anyway and how did you get here?" - This question is what the audience wants to know, but you don't actually find out how he got there, the flash back is completely irrelevant and explains nothing, just like in 'Lost' where nothing is explained.



"(P.O.V shot of person running, panting and screaming. Shot of everyone from behind watching W stop)" - This is mocking 'The Blaire Witch Project' where every shot is a point of view, hand held shot. And that there is a lot of panicking and screaming in it.



"P: Oh wow a polar bear!" - There was a polar bear in the middle of the forest in 'Lost' that made no sense, so we mocked that and had it kill one of our actors.



"P: Don’t worry guys (close up on P’s face)… I think I’ve just discovered my power. (walks up to the polar bear) Hello, Polar Bear (close up on bears face, then back to P)" - We want to do this to mock 'Heroes' where you see them discover they're powers but he is an over the top, comic book super hero, unlike the characters in 'Heroes'.



"M: Yup…. He’ll always be remembered (voice heard from distance “No seriously guys I’m ok! Wait for me!”) … Always" - It's a text book technique of misdirection, he believes his friend is dead yet we can here him in the distance calling "I'm ok!"
