Draft Script

Draft Script


For my film I intend on using a poem over the top of acting on screen. The poem I want to use is about Alzheimer's. I will also be adding in voice clips from  my characters. The lady will be reading the poem and the man will be reading the notes attached to the flowers and the one at the florist. 




The Poem - It's A long Goodbye


She’s leaving me, little by little, I wish she wouldn’t go.

I will be there as long as she needs me. How do I let her know?

I’d like to hold on to the memories. I’d also like to share
But she’s further away, getting further away. And yet she’s always there.


It’s a long good-bye, and yet I believe that she can sense us.
So much time between now and then, when its time against us.
There are times she almost seems like herself.
Sometimes it’s just a phase. A part of the person I once knew,
And sometimes just a trace.

It’s a long good-bye and I still don’t know just what to say.

There’s so much time between now and then,

Because she goes away, a long good-bye.

Tell me how do all the others do it? There’s so much time between now and then.
How do we get through it? It’s a long good-bye.
