The numbers on the top left of each frame is the shot number - the numbers on the top right are the camera set up number
The number in the circle at the bottom of each page is the page number
the script section refered to follows (although I haven't story boarded up to where he lands on the coast
- this will be shot on a different day and location)
1850's - a convict - Alan CAMERON - is being taken to an island in the bay on a
row boat. CAMERON is rowing and he is being watched over by an armed
soldier - Corporal PORTER
CAMERON looks at the water considering things as he rows - PORTER keeps a
steady eye on him.
2 EXT - BAY ISLAND - DAY
The boat arrives near a beach - CAMERON jumps out and wades through
the water pulling the boat up aground on the beach – PORTER stays in the boat
PORTER
Just wait here - there’ll be a detail here to see us shortly
They keep waiting and after a while PORTER gets anxious
PORTER
They should have been here by now - I'll go and see
if they're coming - wait here
He gets up and wanders up the dune to look for them.
We see a close up of PORTER as he scours the land further in front of him
looking for the party - he turns around after a while, disappointed, and looks back
at the boat - CAMERON is gone.
3 Cut to CAMERON sprinting through the scrub near the edge of the beach - he is
running very fast and desperately
4 He rounds a headland and comes to a little bay - he pauses for a moment and then
runs out into the water and starts swimming.
5 EXT – MORETON BAY – DAY
He struggles across Moreton Bay - checking the island behind him and the
mainland in front of him frequently.
6 EXT – MAINLAND COAST – DAY
He eventually makes it to the mainland and collapses on a muddy beach just
near some mangroves. Lying on his back - he breathes in heavily and laughs a bit -
scarcely able to believe that he has made it.
