Script
Scenario 1 (Comedy)
THE MAN can be seen walking down a road. He gets to a driveway and
begins to walk up it. He comes to the door of his house and unlocks
it.
THE MAN walks in the house and is greeted by his dog. THE MAN takes
off his shoes and picks up his dog. He walks into the kitchen with
him in his arms, sets him down on a chair and begins stroking him.
THE MAN then sits down next to his dog, plugs in his phone and looks
at it.

Scenario 2 (Neo-Noir/Crime)
THE MAN walks down a street and walks up his driveway. He opens his
door and walks through to the kitchen. His dog greets him; he looks
at it and continues walking.
THE MAN reaches into his waistband, pulls out a gun, and lays it on
the table in front of him.
THE MAN takes out his phone and puts it on charge, looking at it. He
hears a noise at the front of the house and is surprised. He picks
the gun back up and checks it is loaded before cocking it and moving
cautiously to the front door.

Scenario 3 (Horror)
THE MAN is running down a street clearly afraid and being chased by
something in the distance. He makes it to his driveway and trips as
he is running up it. He recovers and fumbles with his keys before
unlocking and opening the front door.
THE MAN slams the door shut and locks it before peeing out the
window for a moment. He then moves to the kitchen and takes out his
phone and plugs it in.
THE MAN paces around while he waits for the phone to charge before
he hears a big noise at the front of the house. He is frightened by
the sound and cowers in the corner of the room unsure of what to do.

Clearances and Confirmations
We do not need permission to use that location since it is my
friends house.

Contingency Plan
I am only using one actor so the chance of them being unable to
work on an agreed day is small, however if this does occur I will
have to decide upon a backup day with him that we can do
instead.
