Actions Script

Song intro = 26seconds



- Long shot, stage light creating hard casting shadow. Subject is a stuffed
suit with anonymous mask hanging where face would be. Tracking shot
of this subject slowly moving in until anonymous mask is center of the
shot. Right on 26 seconds a hand comes in and grabs the mask. As hand
swoops back out of shot scene changes (helps with continuity) Sage lights
will flash in time with music. Apart from stage lights there is no other
light. The still life scene is made slightly chaotic due to the lighting and
tracking long shot.

- As hand leaves shot, scene switches to macro shot of guitar (1 strum) shot
will fit with the guitar strum. Shot will dissolve over mid shot of main
character walking. Shot stays mid shot and tracks character face on.
Guitar single strum will continue to dissolve in and out of shot (smaller, as
if is a little cube that shows up on the screen in different places)

- Shot change to side tracking shot (guitar still coming in and dissolving)
character still walking (side shot low so only hip downwards)

- Macro shot of drums come in. (Guitar dissolving disappears) drum shot
slowly dissolving over the shots until the mini arpeggio comes in.

- (Underneath drum shot) blank space: not sure what to add in here to
symbolize the character in dispute with himself. Work out on later date

- Where music stops, the single instrument arpeggio stops all the dissolving
and editing pace comes to a stand still. POV shot of him picking up mask
and putting it on (POV shot makes the illusion that he is putting it on but
he puts it onto camera making the scene turn black)

- On 44 seconds there is a silence in the song. Prolong this silence to add in
a miniature monologue.

- (Still silence) one hard striking light onto gun (not sure where gun is)
echoed footsteps over monologue and hand going into streaking light and
picking up the gun.

- (Still silence) facial shot of mask almost like V for Vendetta poster and
gun being held menacingly. Character sweeps out of shot and scene turns
black again. Monologue finishes

- (Music comes back in) the 3 beat bass to reintroduce the song. Fits with 3
hard light rays coming on in sync with the 3 beats. Long shot of corridor
in multistory car park of Anon walking.

- Shot reverse shot of corridor. Eccentric character manically jumping in
and out of the hard light. Shot then turns back to Anon who us now in
mid shot. shot back at character who is still going crazy with dancing and
manic actions. Shot back to Anon (now close up shot) lifts up gun
towards camera and shot back to manic guy who explodes into feathers
(slow motion?)

- Low shot of Anon walking over feathers and into next room/level

- Shot showing anon walking up to next level/scene

- Scene change to keira curled up in a ball in the corner of next level.

The 2 above shots are paralleled together so the jump back and forth
from each other. This happens until they meet:

-Mid shot of anon walking through the door, spots keira on the closest right hand
corner

-POV shot from Kiera, Anon looking down to her and his arm swivels to aim and
shoot. As the arm swivels a shot change to the trumpet shot and continuity
editing allows the shot to change back to POV and gun is pointing straight at the
camera.

-Kiera gets shot (not sure what shots to use)

-High angle shot looking down at keira, who is now just the mask and the pile of
feathers. Tracking in to create suspense for the next scene

-Scene cuts to black again, and a new scene comes in: mid shot of door in the
dark, violently swings open and a stream of white hard light comes through.
Anon standing in the doorway (silhouette) walks forward

-Establishing shot of lounge room with George sat on chair sipping wine etc.
staring out of the window

-Shoulder shot of Anon who approaches the character

-Mid shot of George, oblivious to whats behind him

-Macro shot of anons sleeve, pulls down a knife whilset slowly treading forwards

-Shot back to George, still oblivious

-Shoulder shot of Anon, very close now

-Shot back to George, who swivels, Anon calmly grabs his head

-Slits his throat (not what shots to use
-After scene with George, Anon finds himself alone. Not sure how to end it but he
turns the music down (with fade of the song) on a record player to finish up the
music video
