Treatment/Pitch/Tagline: Draft 1

Tagline:
What happened last night?

Pitch:
Have you ever had a hangover so bad you don't quite remember what happened the night before? Imagine taking a pill that makes life ten thousand time better in your mind and barely remembering what happens... 

Treatment:
What actually happened last night? Is the question that crosses both of their minds as they wake up in a bed surrounded by pills, tissue and random house ornaments. Leighton sleeping still and peacefully beside them is not awoken by their frantic gestures. Elliot and Jasmine begin to ‘try’ and get the story straight. “So it all started when...” this takes them to a flashback of what they think happened the night before. As they are casually walking down the side of the road a pot of suspicious pills fly from a window, into their hand. Elliot, Leighton and Jasmine all appear to take the pills. And this is where it all began.

FlashBack

After discovering the pills, the three friends decide to run to the alley way at the end of the road, where they decided to take the pills. After taking them, everything seems to become blurry and the world around them begins to spin. A few minutes later, adrenaline begins to run through their veins and all three begin to run up and down the road. A lady walks past them carrying heavy grocery bags. Suddenly a gun appears in Elliot’s hand, she begins to aim the gun at the lady’s arm. She pulls the trigger and the bullet hits the woman on her arm as she drops the grocery bags in pain. Shocked by the sudden action, all three begin to run down the road, to get away from the situation as far as possible.

FlashBack Ends

Jasmine interrupts Elliot’s story as she begins to disagree with what happened. “What really happened was…” as Jasmine begins to recall last night’s events.

Flashback

All three find themselves walking through their school corridor, they begin to hear faint music coming from a door that is slightly open. As their curiosity gets to them, they begin to walk towards the door as they music begins to become louder and louder. As they open the door they all peek into to find a massive party going on with strobe lights all over the place and sweaty bodies stuffed in the room. As they walk in they begin to start dancing along to the music. Elliot spots a boy who she’s intrigued by, she begins to walk over to him. Both suddenly make eye contact. Elliot wants his number so she motions him to write his number on her forehead with a marker that he finds lying around. The rest of the night begins to move in slow motion and the sight becomes blurry.
Flashback Ends

And that’s why you’ve woke up with a number on your head” says Jasmin.
Once they left the party they made their way home and fell asleep straight away upstairs on the bed.

At that moment Leighton wakes up and the girls begin to retell the events of the previous day. Leighton disagrees with the whole story and tells them the truth.

He never actually took the pills so he witnessed the whole thing. Once the others had been filled in on the antics the day before Jasmin dares Elliot to take the pills.
