Script for the school entrance of Tasha

We used a very short script for this scene as we thought that this would really add to the tension given by the character Tasha. We used Milly who is very good at her Pronunciation which meant that this would seem more believable to the audience that she was a posh young girl coming from a private school to a comprehensive school.
We used a simple phrase of "Here we go..." while Tasha sighed. This shows her apprehension of starting a new school and how she is really nervous about starting, the audience can sense this by her tone of voice and her facial expression shown through a extreme close up. This immediately draws in the audience and they find themselves empathising with her. The phrase shows that Tasha uses more appropriate English grammar for a privately schooled student, which would be different to the types of people that you would expect in a public schooled student.
Throughout the scene there is very little noises apart from sound of the cars in the distant and the birds singing. This gives the impression of Tasha being very isolated as she starts this situation on her own and that the birds that are chirping are free and she herself is not free as she has to go into an unfamiliar place that she would rather not be in.
I really like the simplistic sound and dialogue, it really seems to add tension and apprehension to the scene, which is exactly what we were aiming for.
