A Beat Sheet 

This is for my silent short film.

Act 1

-          A woman is looking at her computer screen and is on a dating website looking at guys.
-          The woman is at the cinemas waiting anxiously with a red rose.
-          The woman looks nervous and keeps looking at the clock.
-          A guy walks in the cinemas holding a red rose.
-          The woman finds she is too shy and quickly hides her rose.
-          She walks out of the cinemas and throws the red rose in the rubbish bin.
-          When she walks out the door the guy who works at the cinemas holds the door for her.
-          The woman is back to looking on the dating website looking at guys.
-          The next night she is back at the cinemas with a yellow rose.
-          She waits anxiously again, looking at the time on her cellphone.
-          The woman looks up from her phone and a guy enters with a yellow rose.
-          Again she gets shy, and throws away her yellow rose in the cinemas rubbish bin.
-          As she walks out the door the guy who work at at the cinemas is cleaning and holds the door open for her again.
-          The woman is back looking on the internet again and is looking at the dating website.
-          She goes back to the movies with a white rose.
-          She waits anxiously and is left waiting there until closing time.
-          The guy who works at the cinemas comes and taps her on the shoulder and shows her the cinemas is closing.
-          The woman walks off and throws the white rose in the rubbish bin on her way out.

Act 2

-          The next day the woman comes into the cinemas on her own.
-          She goes to the counter on her own and looks depressed.
-          The guy behind the counter smiles at her.
-          The woman doesn't smile back.
-          The woman goes into the cinemas on her own.
-          The woman walks out of the cinema and the guy who works at the cinemas is dressed in a big cuddle bear mascot outfit handing out discount vouchers to the movies.
-          The woman looks down and walks straight past him.
-          The guy follows her and taps her on the shoulder.
-          The woman turns around the guy hands her a discount voucher.
-          The woman giggles at his outfit and takes a discount voucher.
-          The woman starts to walk off and the guy taps her on the shoulder again.
-          The guy takes off his bear head.
-          He reaches in the bear suit and pulls out a bunch of fake red, yellow and white roses.
-          The woman looks at him and smiles.

Act 3

-          The woman waits at the cinemas and she is holding the fake roses.
-          The guy from the cinemas walks in they smile at each other and she reaches out her hand and he takes it.

-          They both turn their backs and walk off towards the line.
