Script outline

 The Script

The film starts with a high school hallway with all the commotion in the world and everyone is trying to class. The protagonist Jake a 16-year-old who is wearing a faded shirt from his favorite team and a really old backpack. He tries to blend in with the crowd but gets found by the bullies because of these old pieces of clothing. This is going to provoke Jake to do something bad, but he'll probably refrain from it.

(The script is mostly completed but some words might get caught from the final cut)

The film starts by presenting the production company on an all-black screen. (5 seconds)


Bully named Brock: Hey, nice shirt Jake! Did you get it from the dumpster? (Laughs with his friends that are next to him)

Jake is going to try to avoid them just trying to have a normal day at school.

Then the second bully Dirt will say: "He always wears the same shirt what a loser" and the group will start dying of laughter again.

Jake is going to start walking faster with a look of embarrassment and a little mad when a close-up of his fist is all that on camera. 
This will be around 45 seconds to 1 minute 15 seconds of the film opening. 

Then the camera turns black but turns back on when it cuts to Jake playing soccer making his moves swiftly and elegantly. He looks like he isn't even bothered by the earlier bullying he encountered. When two kids from school see that it's him one says, "Hey isn't that, Jake?" and the other says "Yeah I had heard he was good, but I didn't know he was this good."
around 20 to 30 seconds

Then the screen cuts to the title of "Rise of a baller" Not a confirmed title but it's something along these lines. We think this is the perfect timing for this title because of the upcoming scene.

The scene is him going to sleep looking at the ball in the corner of the room. Then the screen goes black when a lot of messages start blowing up his phone and there will be a focus pull from the phone to his eyes opening. This final scene will be around 30 seconds.


This is what me and Matias have so far hope you guys are interested in it because we are.
