Preliminary Script

Sleepy Sleeps
Connor is sitting at table writing something down. The shot then cuts to behind him and shows he is watching something at the same time. It then cuts to what he is writing, revealing the title of the movie, Sleepy Sleeps.

Kieran walks into the room wearing a strange outfit.

Cut to Connor sitting there still
-           Connor: “What are you wearing?”

Cut to Kieran standing there, now in a completely new set of clothes.
-           Kieran: “...What?”

A cut to the door, the shot is slowly spinning to give a feeling of uneasiness and playing ominous music to help build the uncomfortable atmosphere.

Both Kieran and Connor look back at the bedroom door, wondering what the source of the weird music is.

It then shows Connor opening the bedroom door.

Both Kieran and Connor pop their heads out from behind a wall.

Big Close up on Kieran’s face
-          Kieran: “What was that?”

Return to the door, ominous music and slowly tilting camera.

Big close up on Connor’s face
-           Connor: “I don’t know”

The two then walk through the hallway, stopping halfway.

Connor raises a knife from out of shot, much to Kieran’s surprise.
-           Kieran: “Why do you have a knife?”
-           Connor: “I dunno”

The two then continue to walk through the kitchen.

The two look at the door, clearly scared
-          Connor: “What’s in there?”

Kieran is clearly terrified, biting his nails and sweating.

Connor reaches for the door

Kieran is paler, sweatier and biting his nails even more.

The two recoil in fear from whatever is in the door, though it is never exposed.


Cut to credits, cheerful music playing over them. A clip in black and white of Kieran approaching the camera, ending the movie with a final joke, that he had died off screen.
