2. Proposal- Scene 1-6
Scene starts with a girl sitting at a table in a small
white room, sitting across from a psychiatrist. She‟s
wearing all white and what looks like a straight jacket.
The man talks “So tell me your story...”

3. Scene 2
The audience hear the girl explaining
how it all started; while the voice
over is going we see a montage of
what happened during her day;
getting up, breakfast, going to
school and so on.
We then see her in her house at night
and she gets an email from the most
popular girl in school.

4. Scene 3
The man asks, “what did it say?” to which she replies
something innocent sounding; “Mean things; she said my hair
was too black, I was too pale and ugly and
abnormal…”

5. Scene 4
The man then asks her “When did it start getting worse”.
The scene jumps to another flashback while she explains what‟s happening in a voice
over; “It started happening in school; she started taking my lunch and leaving notes in
my locker, when I got home that night I was reading and I got a text…”
We then see her reading a fairytale book and we see the title „Snow white and the
Seven Dwarfs”, we see the text saying something tormenting and then we see a tear
fall on the page, she slams the book shut and that brings us to the next scene.

6. Scene 5
In this scene we will se more of the interview and find out
some more information about the girl, we also see the sinister
side of the girl in this scene.
He asks her questions like “Was this your breaking point?”
“What did she say that made you mad” and so on.
They talk about fairytales and the girl‟s
obsession with them to which she asks
the man “So, what‟s your favourite
fairytale?”
He ignores her question then looks at
her and says “Then what happened”.

7. Scene 6
This is a flashback of her at school.
She‟s sitting on a bench with her
fairytale book laid out on the table in
front of her, her lunch next her and a
bright red apple sitting on the book.
We see the title of the story “Snow
white…” showing and then we see the
bully and her friends approach her.
The girls tease her about the book but
the girl just ignores them until the bully
takes the apple. The girl packs away her
things and we see her smirk in a sinister
way and then we see the bully take a
bite of the apple and drop it on the floor-
this is when the scene cuts.

8. Scene 7
This is the last scene.
The man asks the girl “So what happened next” to
which the girl simply replies “The end”.
Her voice is monotone and
she is staring directly at the
man, we then see her smirk
and the scene cuts.
