Treatment
Sarah is biking up a long driveway. The camera watches the wheels go past with a low angle shot. She reaches the end of the driveway and puts her bike down, resting it on its stand. The camera follows her over her shoulder to the door to a house. There is a shot of her hand knocking on the door. Molly's mother answers the door, and the camera avoids her face, shooting over her shoulder at Sarah's face. Mrs Samuels says "Sarah, we haven't seen you in a while. How are you?" She replies "I'm good thanks, Mrs Samuels. I was wondering.. Is Molly around?" The camera shoots over Sarah's shoulder and shows Mrs Samuels' face in shadow.
Mrs Samuels says "it's not a good idea for you to see her at the moment. She's... got a lot of homework to do." The camera returns to filming from over Mrs Samuel's shoulder, before cutting to filming from outside the house, looking at Sarah's profile. Sarah says "Oh, okay... Well... Will you tell her I came 'round?" Mrs Samuels begins to close the door and says "Yes, I'll do that. Have a nice day." Sarah replies "You too..." in a manner that suggests she thinks the conversation is unfinished.
She waves uncertainly and walks out of the door alcove. She begins to walk back down the driveway, but stops suddenly. A high angle shot sees her looking over her shoulder to see if Mrs Samuels is there, and then she walks quietly around the side of the house. The camera follows her through a rose bush covered path. She walks into the backgarden, that has a river down the front. An establishing shot from behind Sarah shows us the back of Molly's hooded figure sitting throwing sticks into the river. Sarah walks carefuly down to stand beside Molly. The camera films them sitting beside eachother.
Sarah greets Molly. "Hey, Molly!" Molly doesn't even acknowledge that she is there. She sits looking forwards. She is wearing a hoodie jacket and dark sunglasses. Sarah says "You weren't at school yesterday." Molly replies in a monotonous voice "I was sick." The camera films Sarah from the front as she awkwardly sits down beside her. "Are you... feeling any better?" Sarah asks. "I'm fine," Molly replies. She still hasn't looked away from the river.
Sarah attempts to put her arm around Molly and asks "How are things with your Dad?" Molly shoves her arm off angrily and says "He's not my Dad." Sarah looks away and throws a rock in the river. "I know, sorry... Does he... Does he still..." Molly turns and looks straight at Sarah. "Does he still what? Does he still beat me?" Sarah looks down at her feet. "Look." Molly takes her glasses off and reveals a black eye. The camera jumps from a close up of Molly to looking at the two of them straight on. Sarah's eyes are wide and shocked.
"Molly, we have to tell someone," Sarah says in a concerned voice. "No." Molly puts her glasses back on and stares straight ahead of her again.
"But Molly, they can-" Molly interupts her and says "Just leave." Sarah sounds hurt "What?" Molly says in a harsh voice "Go. Away." arah stands up slowly, and walks up the hill. The camera watches with Molly in the foreground, and Sarah blurred in the background. The focus shifts to Sarah, who looks back once, and then continues walking away.
Mrs Samuels says "it's not a good idea for you to see her at the moment. She's... got a lot of homework to do." The camera returns to filming from over Mrs Samuel's shoulder, before cutting to filming from outside the house, looking at Sarah's profile. Sarah says "Oh, okay... Well... Will you tell her I came 'round?" Mrs Samuels begins to close the door and says "Yes, I'll do that. Have a nice day."
