This is the script that we used when we were filming, the opening two minutes of the film doesn't follow this script exactly but its runs along similar lines. The reason why it doesn't follow the script exactly is because we told our actors when we were filming that they didn't have to stick to the script exactly as long as the lines that they said followed the same story line and made sense. This made it easier to film and the film looked better as the lines flow better and more naturally.

The script also features some stage directions, this is because when Tim and I made the film we had a good idea in our head of what the finished two minutes were going to be like. We gave the stage directions so that the film was as like the visions that we had in our head as much as possible.
