Below is the transcript of Stephen Smith's monologue which we planned to use in our thriller. We went against this in the end because we decided to hint at a plot which would later develop fully rather than trying to tell the entire story in under five minutes.
It was early spring. I'd only just turned eighteen, that's old enough to be sentenced. Molly was two years younger.
I'll never know exactly what happened or what triggered it...only sometimes I have to do things...sometimes it takes over. That was one of those times.
The sister, she caught it all on tape, enough to sentence me anyway. And I didn't do anything to her. I just...walked away.
I served my time but that wasn't enough for her.
Her sister died. Manslaughter. Accidental. It was, I hadn't wished her dead. I hadn't wanted her to die like that but she would have died somehow. The girl was there, she knew the truth. And now it was her turn, to listen to the voices.
Voice Over by Alice Parsons
As mentioned before we were unfortunate in the fact that the girl whom we had enlisted to play the victim's sister was unavailable meaning that the script had to be altered extremely quickly whilst still letting the audience know that someone besides them is watching the murder take place. Therefore Alice Parsons who plays the murder's daughter and who was not present during the filming at Cannock Chase did a series of voice overs after the film had been put together for the dialogue section between the victim and her sister. The downside of this was that in order to record the voice overs in a quiet area they were recorded in a small soundproof round providing an echoey quality to her words.
