Research and Planning: Scene Script for Section One of the Music Video

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.
