NHS PROSTATE CANCER SCRIPT

SCENE 1

Starts with two chairs facing each other, suggesting a patient and a doctor, want to show scare and neglect from the patient’s’ side by making one of the chair wobble/shake/disappear.

Followed by title screen with audio of this:

“Cancer is one of those taboo subjects where our people don’t look to talk about, they felt that cancer is a death sentence, they felt that if you get cancer you hit a brick wall. That is not the case.”

SCENE 2

Transition –  The chairs fades/wobbles into the birds eyes view perspective of a crowd of people walking around until more than half of them walk off the frame (could show the paper edge texture was people walk off the edge onto a different frame in frame).

“They feel cancer is a death sentence,”

“They just disappear!”

SCENE 3

Start to follow one person from the crowd as they walk onto a road (in relation to “the beginning of a journey”).

“prostate cancer is not a death sentence, it’s something you have to take seriously and manage. It’s the beginning of a journey and you can turn that journey into a wonderful experience if you’re sensible” or “cancer is not a devil, there are cures for cancer”

SCENE 4

Transitions into bird eyes view of a family dining room, overlooking a table, chairs and kitchen counter. Starts off with father and son talking and then son reaching out to hold fathers hands (the hand holding scene can be a frame in frame, done with hand drawn textures):

“it is hereditary, it is something that ran it my family, my dad got treated and lived for 30 more years”

“I had a discussion with my dad when he was alive…”

Maybe mother walks into the room and hugs everyone, and time lapse starts showing quick movements of family time. Highlighting the longevity of the ‘30 years’.

ENDING

“ok I’m done!” (fades off with laughter)
