01. INT. JACOBS BEDROOM-NIGHT
JACOB lies on his bed, shaking as he stares at the wall . He’s 18 with SHORT, THIN HAIR and an extremely thin, frail body. His features are gorgeous, but he looks sick and tired. He picks at his skin with yellowed, worn finger nails as his eyes roll towards the ROLL UP on his bed side table. Jake wears no t-shirt. Just very large plain grey boxers.

JACOB
(Exhaustion)
Sighs.
He picks the ROLL UP off of the side and tokes it.
JACOB (cont.)
(Coughing)
That’s disgusting.
MARY, his mother raps on the door and shoves her head in cautiously.
MARY
(Surprised)
What the hell are you still doing in bed!

JACOB
(offended/seedily)
Get out of my room mum! What have I told you before about coming into my room without knocking, you know its rude not to knock.
JACOB walks slowly towards her.
MARY
(Scared)
Get away from me JACOB, you are scaring me, I thought we had delt with this, I thought you were better, Jacob?! Jacob?! Jacoooobbb?!
JACOB
(mocking)

Laughing, better? Better? Better?
MARY
Screams.

institutional context.

The production company of jennifers body is fox, the budget was approximatly$16,000,000. also produced by fox, 28 days later with a budget of $8,000,000. The production causes a massive effect on how the film sells and how the film is marketed. For example 'megan fox' as a well know actor her price for the film would have been a large chunk of the budget. this pays off in the marketing as they use her soley on the front cover to advertise the film as she is a very significant sexual icon especially to the target audience (teenagers) as she has been featured in other fims targeting a similair audience E.G Transformers.
