White screen.<\/p>\n
Begins to blur.<\/p>\n
Soundtrack begins … cresendos with a piano, harp and bell intro<\/p>\n
DRAW BACK CAMERA<\/p>\n
To see a snowflake against a dusky sky.<\/p>\n
DRAW BACK FURTHER<\/p>\n
To see a flurry of heavy, thick, big snowflakes.<\/p>\n
PAN DOWN FROM THE HEAVENS<\/p>\n
To a secluded gravel parking lot in the midst of woods.<\/p>\n
ZOOM IN<\/p>\n
A solitary white vehicle in the parking lot.
\n
\nCONTINUE ZOOM IN THROUGH DRIVER’S SIDE WINDOW.<\/p>\n
She is sitting in the driver’s seat, holding herself … staring through front window into the woods … sighs … smirks … releases herself … picks up earphones and puts them on …<\/p>\n
Time
\nWhere did you go
\nWhy did you leave me here alone
\nWait
\nDon’t go so fast
\nI’m missing the moments as they pass<\/i><\/p>\n
CAMERA OVER HER RIGHT SHOULDER<\/p>\n
She’s outside of car, locking its door. Her reflection appears in the window’s glass.<\/p>\n
Now I’ve looked in the mirror
\nAnd the world’s getting clearer
\nSo wait for me
\nThis time<\/i><\/p>\n
CAMERA SHOT FROM BEHIND<\/p>\n
She turns and moves quickly into the woods.<\/p>\n
CUT TO SHOT ABOVE AND IN FRONT<\/p>\n
Snow falls heavily and she stumbles as she walks down the trail.<\/p>\n
I’m down
\nI’m down on my knees
\nI’m begging for all your sympathy<\/i><\/p>\n
SHOT MOVES OVER HER FROM ABOVE<\/p>\n
Catching herself before falling, she continues walking.<\/p>\n
SHOT CONTINUES TO ZOOM OUT AND AWAY FROM A BACK VIEW.<\/p>\n
But you (I’m just an illusion)
\nYou don’t seem to care (I wish that I could)
\nYou humble people everywhere (I don’t mean to hurt you)<\/i><\/i><\/p>\n
CUT TO OVERHEAD SHOT<\/p>\n
Darkness falls.<\/p>\n
Away from the trail … she makes her own way in the snow.<\/p>\n
Now I’ve looked in the mirror
\nAnd the world’s getting clearer
\nI’ll take what you give me
\nPlease know that I’m learning
\nSo wait for me
\nThis time<\/i><\/p>\n
CUT TO FRONT SHOT<\/p>\n
She moves underneath a tree …<\/p>\n
Sits down in snow, leans against the tree …<\/p>\n
Looks up …<\/p>\n
Reflects.<\/p>\n
Snowfall intensifies and it’s very dark.<\/p>\n
Flashbacks.<\/p>\n
I should’ve known better
\nI shouldn’t have wasted those days
\nAnd afternoons and mornings
\nI threw them all away<\/i><\/p>\n
CUT TO FORWARD, OVERHEAD SHOT<\/p>\n
She sits motionless in the snow … staring at a snowflake falling from above.<\/p>\n
Now
\nThis is my time
\nAnd I’m gonna make this moment mine
\n(I shouldn’t have wasted those days)
\nI’ll take what you give me
\nPlease know that I’m learning<\/i><\/p>\n
BEGIN SLOW ZOOM IN ON SNOWFLAKE<\/p>\n
I’ve looked in the mirror
\nMy world’s getting clearer
\nSo wait for me
\nThis time
\nThis time.<\/i><\/p>\n
CONTINUE ZOOM IN ON SNOWFLAKE<\/p>\n
FADE TO WHITE<\/p>\n
