Script

opening
Chandler is lying in bed, fast asleep. She turns over and falls out the bed.
The camera cuts to her lying on the floor.
Chandler opens her eyes focusing on something in front of her.
the camera cuts to the watch in front of her, becoming the most dominant part of the shot. this is where she realizes she is late for school. her expression is a little confused as she is still half asleep. It takes her a while to realize that she is late and when she does the look on her face becomes more panicked and she curses under her breath.

CHANDLER: 'shit'

immediately after she says this Aqua's Barbie girl begins to play.
(will the track play from the beginning or half way through the song?)
the scene changes to a mid shot of chandler doing a dance move across the camera. then to a mid shot of her facing the camera singing whilst twiddling her hair. she is still in her pajamas.

CHANDLER: (singing) 'you can touch, you can play..' (this line is 1 minute into the song)
the camera is behind chandlers shoulder as she looks into the mirror. we can see her reflection.

Chandler is clutching a hairbrush singing energetically in front of the mirror.

CHANDLER: 'im a barbie girl, in a barbie world, life in plastic, is fantastic

Chandler continues to dance in front of the mirror.

CHANDLER: (In a deep voice trying to mimic the male character in the video. Her forehead is crumpled as she puts on a male voice) 'come on barbie lets go party..'

The camera cuts again to a mid shot and Chandler hops across the screen as she attempts to put on her socks. She then hops the other was as she puts the other sock on. The camera remains where it is as it waits for her to cross the screen again.
The camera cuts again to another point in the bedroom, still focusing on chandler. This time she is pulling on a jumper over her t-shirt. She is having difficulty. Barbie Girl remains to play.
Another mid shot of chandler as she does the button up on her trousers. She is stood by the bed post which has a scarf placed on it. Once the button is done up there is a close up of the bed post as Chandlers had grabs the scarf. Its quick. Another close up of Chandlers neck as the scarf is wrapped around.
Chandler positions herself infront of the mirror again as she holds up earings to see what they'd look like. Her head is bobbing in time to the music.

CHANDLER: 'you can touch you can play, if you say im always yours, you can touch you can play if you say im always yours.'

At this point chandler is spinning around her bedroom, the camera mid shot so you can always see from the waist up. As she does this she knocks stuff over, leaving it to fall.
The camera is placed just above Chandler as she roots around in her drawer for something, she is pulling clothes out and chucking them everywhere. Chandler finds the barbie lunchbox she is looking for.

MUM: Chandler!!

Chandlers mum calls for her from downstairs and with this Chandler hurries out the room slamming the door behind her, this slam stops the music. As the viewer we only see the door slam.
The camera is now at the bottom of the stairs as chandler runs down them.
mum is stood at the bottom of the stairs, mid shot when characters are talking.

MUM: your late
CHANDLER: yes

Chandler picks up her bag off the floor and slings it over her shoulder. Mum passes her a carton of milk and box of cereal.

MUM: Have a good day sweetie.. you look beautiful.

Chandler kisses her mum on the cheek and turns to walk out the door. We see her open the door from the inside and the action is matched as me are now outside. Chandler pauses in the doorway and takes a deep breath. The song ridin' dirty creeps in. (is it on chandlers ipod before hand? is she wearing an ipod) The screen pauses and as 'they see me rolling' begins to play we are bought back to Chandler who is riding her bike. This is slow motion and chandler is trying to be sexy. Still in slow motion Chandler pours the cerial into the bowl strapped to the front of her bike, she does this using over exaggerated movements. Chandler now pours the milk ontop, again with big movements. She whips out a spoon from behind her ear and goes to take a mouthful.
The camera moves around chandler, when it is the other side of her she leans down to scoop up some flowers from the field she is riding in. As she does this she falls off her bike. The camera remains in the same position for chandler to pop back into shot and collect herself. Her hair is now unkept looking.
The camera switches to a long shot of the school entrance.  Chandler is to the left of the screen as she ties up her bike. As she does this we see a smart looking car pull into the entrace carrying 3 girls. The car pulls up next to Chandler. The camera is now just behind Chandler, we can see her movements as she ties up her bike but the girls in the car are the most dominant part. The girls in the car are all smiles as they hop out fo their neat little car looking primped and primed. The girls gather in a line as they stand and watch Chandler.
Chandler looks up, acknowledging the girls presense.

CHANDLER: morning

She says this with a big grin on her face.
The girls do nothing but giggle.

BROOKE: (mutters to the others) nice ride! 

again the girls laugh.

BAILEY: (cleares her throat.)

CHANDLER: oh sorry, im chandler.

and with this chandler extends one of her arms, with a big smile on her face.......
