First Love

TEASER
INT. THEATER - AFTERNOON

Fade in with the sound of muffled screams as a dark stage is lit up with bright lights.

ANNIE (V.O.)
People say you never forget your first love.
Fade to black. Fade in to smoke machines on the side of the stage billowing out smoke. Close on a crowd of screaming fans in the theater.

ANNIE (CONT’D)
How it’s like a dream you never forget. No matter how hard you try.

Fade in to the sound of boots walking onto the stage seen through the smoke filling the stage, the sound of the crowd screaming muffled but rising in pitch. Close on of members of Midnight Seven but no faces shown yet.

Close on of one of them adjusting their glittering black jacket.
Close on of one of the members adjusting a mic near their left ear.
Close in on one adjusting a beret on top of their black hair.
Fade out to black.

ANNIE V.O.
But what they never tell you is how hard it hits you, or that it feels like you’re drowning. In magic...and stars

Close on: Midnight Seven getting into position for the first song. Show the leader’s smile. Lights flicker off in the auditorium and the group stays in position as the fog clears. The screams rise in an uproar as a clock ticking signals for the music about to begin. When the clock stops clicking after seven the lights flash white and blue on the stage and reveal the group.

Seven, the leader of Midnight Seven and main vocalist is a 20-year-old attractive young man with sweeping dark black hair and dark eyes.

Pan into Seven smiling.

SEVEN (YELLS INTO THE MIC)
Are we ready?

Screams of the crowd become muffled)

ANNIE V.O. CONTINUED
That’s what happened the day I saw him. . .

Close in to Seven laughing, bowing to the crowd.

ANNIE V.O. (CONT'D)
Like I couldn’t breathe no matter how much I tried.

Eerie music starts up. Seven gestures for the crowd to be quiet by placing a finger to his lips and gets back into position.

Close in on the other five members who all with jet black hair.

Close on of Annie as a 17-year-old girl wearing a high school uniform and large round glasses. Her black hair is pulled back in a low pony tail and she looks speechless, her hand placed over her heart.

ANNIE V.O.
I’ll never forget the day. . .I fell in love for the first and last time.

Close on the stage to see all members getting ready to dance. Music hits a crescendo and the crowd screams again.

A slow pan in on Annie staring in awe, the sound of her heart beating fast.

ANNIE V.O. CONT’D
Or that I would give my heart...to someone with no heart at all.

Quickly close on of Seven’s face looking cold and then the lights and music abruptly turn off.
