Task 1: Set the scene FADE IN: INT. SUPERMARKET - DAY We see PATRICK, a man in his mid-50s, walking through the aisles of the supermarket. He is looking for something but is obviously lost. Task 2: Introduce the Characters We then see his FRIEND, a young man in his early 20s, walking towards Patrick. He looks concerned. FRIEND Patrick! What are you doing here? PATRICK Oh, I was looking for something. Task 3: Establish the Conflict FRIEND What were you looking for? PATRICK I want to move to Tokyo, but I don't speak Japanese. FRIEND (surprised) Really? That's a big move. PATRICK Yeah, I know. I want to learn the language, but I'm too lazy to do it. FRIEND Well, why don't you just buy a phrasebook? Task 4: Develop the Plot PATRICK That's a great idea! Patrick and his friend start to look around the store for the Japanese phrasebook. After a few minutes of searching, they finally find it. PATRICK (excited) Here it is! FRIEND Great! Now you can start learning Japanese. Task 5: Resolve the Conflict Patrick takes the phrasebook and they walk out of the store. As they walk, Patrick looks at the phrasebook and starts to learn some of the words. The camera pans out and fades to black. FADE OUT.
