Katie: (lights the joint ) i really need this ive had a fucking hard day and everyone is getting on my last nerves. ill tell you something theres nothing better when everyone has pissed you have to have a smoke of this stuff.. (hands it over to Natalie who looks very unsure)
Natalie ; (showing hesitation takes the joint and has a puff) ...(coughing) ahh thats horrible! 
(takes another puff, lots of laughter between them and flowing conversation about her first smoke) 
Katie and Natalie pass the joint around between eachother , Natalie start to enjoy it while Katie feeds it to her.  Katie suggests to spice things up a bit and pulls out a bag of more drugs, girls look at eachother with a smile.



PLOT OF OUR MOVIE 
Our movie is about a main girl who is struggling with the abuse of alcohol and drugs, how she has lost a lot of friends and respect for the over use of illegal concepts. its a serious teenage drama, engaging with the 16-24 audience. hoping to influence teenagers not to experiment with drugs. through the movie we would have shown the journey of a teenage girl and her problems and how she deals with them and if she turns her life around by the end of the movie.

(The picture is of our main character Natalie)
in the opening two minutes of our feature film we hope to give the audience the impression of a serious teenage drama. In the first shot which is a tilt down moving slowly upwards showing the audience of a cold girl, who looks sad and alone. the close ups are meant to show the trapped emotions and sadness of this girl resting against a wall as if she has no care in the world. The next shots are of a recollection which this girls having of the past and the first time trying drugs. a strong friendship between her and her friend who seem approachable and kind in the flash backs. It is important for our movie not to be about glamourising drugs, mostly based on the effects they have on teenagers. We used an editing technique on our movie which was dissolve effect this was for our montage sequence.
