TITLES:()HE'S COMING HOME[The letters are soft-blue against a black background.

Traditionally, the colour of hopeful opportunities and

faith]

EXT: STREET: DAYThe screen fades from a black screen to a series of

wide angle cuts of London streets.INT: DEXTER'S ESTATE: DAY

We see wide-shot of A walking up to Dexter's estate.

Dialogue ensues about A searching for a newer, strongerhallucinogenic. The atmosphere is cold and distant

between the two characters. Dexter provides A with an

acid tab call Mad Hatter (M.H.). Dexter's speech is

menacing and superficially warm.

[This attracts the audiences attention as Dexter is

seen as a morally dubious character. Can A trust him?

Can we trust him?][The opening scene is cold, sparse and distant.Dexter's apartment is neat and tidy. The characters are

visibly seen but are proximally set at a moderate

distance, expressing this is a purely business

transaction and there are no personal ties between

them. This communicates to the audience the video, is

like a psychedelic thriller, due to the alienating

aspect of the character's relationships and use of

drugs]

INSERT: OUT-STRETCHED HAND WITH ACID TAB.

We see a long, close-up of the acid tab, with a note

"follow the white rabbit" attached being handed to A.[This engages the audience's sympathy. Poor girl hooked

on drugs gets a new, dangerous hallucinogenic. What

happens to her when she takes the drug? Will something

disastrous happen? Is Dexter exploiting and


2/3

manipulating her for personal gain and putting her in

harms way.]INSERT: CLOSE-UP OF A TAKING DRUG FOLLOWED BY BLACK

SCREEN.EXT: REGENT STREET BUS STOP: DAYA is sitting at a bus stop. There seems to be no

discernible visual effects on A. We hear traffic

loudly. We also hear snippets of conversation - a

hubbub. This creates a sense of mystery. Her senses are

heightened - has she begun hallucinating?

Suddenly, her ankle rollsINSERT: SEQUENCE OF COSMOS, CELLS, BIRTH OF LIFE[These images appear in short cuts, creating a brief

sense of claustrophobia and elevating the audience on

the same level as A. They are now experiencing the

hallucination too]INSERT: BLACK SCREENEXT: ELMERS END WOODLANDS: DAY/EVENINGA lands at a dinner table in a woodlands, greeted by a

group of woodland animals and the white rabbit and an

unknown boy (Brandon, A's ex-boyfriend). A at first

startled, spots the white rabbit she's meant to follow.

At this juncture the white rabbit and A make eye

contact, to where the rabbit darts off in the direction

behind her into the woods.[Brandon is unmentioned leading up to this scene. It is

up to the audience and figure out the relationship

between the two. We do not belittle the audience's

intelligence]A now chases after the rabbit to which Brandon watches

momentarily, before leaving earnestly to track down A.

As the figure of the rabbit turns into a silhouette

running into vast obscurity of the woodlands, Brandoncatches up to A where both stop briefly and exchange

dialogue. After the conversation both continue to run

onwards into the fog of the woodlands.INT: CLAPHAM JUNCTION TUBE STATIONThe rabbit arrives first in the tube station, running

through the passages, to which A and Brandon shortly

follow. In the midst of their tracks, Brandon grabs the

arm of A bringing him towards her, where he details his

absence and reconcile their relationship.During the reconciliation, A spots the rabbit in the

corner of her eye and proceeds to chase after the

rabbit alone. We see blood portrude from her lips, and

noticing this she stops dead, before her sudden faint.INERT: CUT TO BLACK[We end the video on a cliffhanger, with unanswered

questions - has A. left the hallucination? Has she

overdosed?]
