Voice Over Script

Osian struggles with balancing his phone usage. On one hand, his phone allows him to stay connected to friends and family, but it can also be a distraction and waste his time. In the morning, Osian gets drawn into mindlessly scrolling on his phone instead of getting out of bed. Later, he throws his phone off a bridge in frustration. Osian realizes he needs to decide whether his phone will be a positive or negative influence each day.

INT: OSIAN’S BEDROOM- MORNING TIME (10:00AM)

First shot begins in bedroom. (White walls, couple posters on the


wall, white desk with a computer/gaming set up. Grey curtains.
Pegs with clothes hanging up).Shot of Osian waking up in bed, in
same position. Shot cuts to revealing more of his surroundings in
his room. Osian rolls over in bed, shot changes back to shot of
him rolling over onto his other side facing the wall, eyes open
looks fed up. Push in shot to his head which cuts to short
animation/stop motion of representations of thoughts in head, of
what he's thinking. After stop motion clip shot changes back to
bedroom. Osian still in his bed on his phone getting ‘drawn’ in.
He moves closer and closer to the screen of his phone, almost
like he's getting absorbed. Wider shot of him waking up rising
from bed.

OSIAN-(Narrator)
When I wake up, sometimes I feel like my mind is just
blank. I really don’t want to get out of bed, but I
don’t want to go back to sleep.
Then, sometimes I feel like I have too many thoughts, my
mind is occupied with a bunch of different things.
Negative thoughts, random memories, things I've got to
do and then things I want to do. It feels like they
are all competing for my attention.
This is when I go on my phone to distract myself from my
thoughts, it all gets too overwhelming- then I get myself
caught up in a time warp and I don’t remember any of the
information I've just consumed. This pisses me off.
EXT-OUTSIDE IN THE WOODS/BY RAILWAY BRIDGE (11:00AM)
Osian looking at his phone then cut to a throwing it off the
bridge, then a shot from behind of him throwing it onto the
tracks. Cut to a landscape of Osian across the shot running
through the field. Sky is most of the shot, to create a feeling
of isolation in the world around him. Then shot of him running
back towards the camera the opposite way. Shot of Osian sitting
observing the view of the sky, looking up.
Graphics popping up on the screen of his memories over leigh edit
around him. One of him hanging out laughing with his mates, one
of him in the car windows down music blasting singing, on sofa
watching tv, warm blankets comfy cozy living room. Shot from
behind of him resting head on mothers shoulder.

OSIAN-(Narrator)
Then sometimes I just wish phones didn’t exist and I could
just run away and live in the middle of nowhere with no
connection to the outside world. Then I remember about all
my friends, listening to music on a late night drive/sunny
day(depending on which shot looks better) and watching TV
with my mum.

EXT:OUTSIDE BY BRIDGE/ VALLEY FIELD (12:00PM)


Osian taking a photo of a scenic valley on his phone, cut to him

shoulder against ear, taking his bag off hanging his coat up,
then sits on bed.
Osian
Hey Grandad, how are you? Its Oshi

Grandad
Oh hiya Oshi, I'm good how are you?

OSIAN-(Narrator)
At my phone’s best it’s a mini supercomputer that fits into
my pocket. Allowing me to do crazy things I take for
granted, like calling up my grandparents, or taking photos.

through TikTok, light of phone reflecting on his face. Over leigh
edit of his phone screen with the content he is consuming popping
up in the dark background behind and in front of him. Snapchat
notifications as well as Instagram notifications popping up too.
Osian just blankly staring into his screen super invested.
OSIAN’S FRIEND
What's going on, you alright

OSIAN
I'm chilling, what about you just wanted to give you a
call, wanna hop on fortnite?

OSIAN-(Narrator)
But at its worst it’s an evil robot that’s designed to
waste my time, steal my data and eventually probably
control and clone me, by deciding which content I
consume.

INT:BACK IN BEDROOM , SAME AS BEGGINING SHOTS- MORNING(10:00AM)

it be that day.
