Fade in
Television Static appears on the screen it is
dim and faint, fade to an extreme close up of a person’s feet the room is dimly
lit the camera tilts up slowly to reveal the person’s ankles, straight cut to
the Television Static, fade in to reveal the camera panning moving from right
shoulder to her left shoulder, straight cut back to the static, fade in to
extreme close up of the girls hands the nails are painted darkly and badly
chipped the nails appear as if they have never really been cared for, straight
cut to Television Static then fade in to an extreme close up of a girls lips
they are pale pink with a slight hint of gloss yet the rest of her is pale.
Straight cut to the static, straight cut to an extreme close up of the girl’s
eyes they are dark and smoky she looks wide eyed and depressed and the light
diagonally goes across her face so that her eyes are the only part of her face
to be lit. Straight cut.
Medium close up of the girl showing her from
the shoulder up she is dressed darkly with long hair that is in a similar
fashion to her nails and looks uncared for and untidy. She looks directly at the
camera and then looks away as if she doesn’t know what to do with herself,
straight cut, reveals that she is sitting by a fired place that is not lit the
room appears cold and the only source of light in the room is the diagonal strip
that comes from a small window in the room.
On the mantel piece is a vase of
carnations and a painting of another girl, surrounding Jenny on the floor are
several books, straight cut, Medium long shot Jenny picks up the oldest book in
the pile and opens it as if about to read yet soon becomes frustrated and throws
the book across the floor, she then rests her head against the fireplace as if
about to cry yet she hits it in anger, straight cut, Medium long shot, Jenny
slowly rises from the floor and begins to trace the edge of the mantel piece
slowly as if she finds it comforting, it is revealed that she is in a bedroom
and the bed is messy and unmade, Jenny begins to look at the flowers and gently
strokes the stem of one of the carnations then suddenly she throws the vase off
of the mantel piece, straight cut, Close up reveals the vase being thrown off of
the mantel piece and slowly pans down to show the vase falling to the floor and
smashing in to several small pieces.
Straight cut, Medium Close up, the camera
tracks Jenny moving back to the fireplace she resumes her sitting position and
buries her head in her hands. A medium long shot reveals a figure dressed in
white fleeting past the room and down the hall way to the left, reverse shot
shows Jenny looking up she does not immediately move and looks as though she is
questioning whether or not she just saw what she thought she saw, she slowly
rises from the floor and heads in the direction of the door, the camera tracks
her movements and her face is in the full frame, until she reaches the door and
then the camera pans to follow her walking out of the door and down the dark
corridor.
At the same time you see the white figure heading through the door and
watching it close and Jenny timidly walks towards the door the camera begins to
zoom until all that can be seen in the frame is the black of Jenny’s back, the
camera zooms out to reveal Jenny walking down a narrow street at
night.
