THE BUG

BY Team Meemers

CUT IN:

1 INT. STUDY

The room is cluttered with boxes and papers, and a

solitary desk lamp lights the room.

LOW ANGLE SHOT:

PERSON is sitting at the desk, hunched over a pile of

papers, scribbling away.

The camera refocuses, shifting the focus from the PERSON,

to a pile of soaked napkins, and a dripping bottle of

soda, sitting on the edge of the desk. The split drink

pools on the floor.

PAN DOWN AND ZOOM IN:

MIDSHOT:

Under the table, we see a large BUG scuttle forward,

curiously peering at the split soda.

BUG stops and sips the liquid, perking up in delight,

peering around.

BUG begins to scurry around the floor.

TRACKING:

BUG runs about, jumping from box to box, peering around,

until it stops, paused in delight, staring intently at

something in the distance.

CUT TO:

LOW ANGLE CLOSE UP:

Sitting on the table, we see a full bottle of soda, lying

on its side - the source of the original puddle.

Light glows from behind the bottle, giving it an ethereal

look.

CUT TO:

POV SHOT (PERSON’S):

The BUG jumps onto the desk, scurrying towards the bottle.

PERSON raises up their book, and slams it down violently

on the BUG, splattering it across the desk.

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED: 2.

There is a small pause, and the splattered mess reforms

itself into four, smaller versions of the bug, all staring

up at the PERSON.

CUT TO BLACK.
