After analysis in class, Katie and I came to realise that this was an incorrect way to lay out our project script. The structure was wrong and we needed to change key parts in order to create a real script.

It is also not complete, the rest of the stage directions and dialogue have yet to be added. However, this is due to our immediate re-write after finding out that it was in-fact incorrect.
