2. FADE IN:
Scene 1: INT. School
It’s black. You can hear the sound of tapping along with the
music, like with a pencil on a table etc. The character is
sitting at his desk with his pencil tapping away as if a song
is stuck in his head. The camera then sharply pans to the next
classroom where we can see another kid sitting at his desk.
He’s writing music and drawing rough notes and lines. It then
transitions to another shot of hands tapping on the table,
another character sitting there tapping to a bassline as he
zones out from the mundane maths lesson.
The bell goes and everyone filters out of classrooms and
starts walking home. Each character is shown to go in
different directions to everyone else. They all go into the
music block and into the music room. The drums start, we see
the shaking cymbals, the vibrating drums and the hands of the
drummer as he plays. There’s silence, then all the instruments
come in and we see the faces of the characters as they start
to play together. It feels like a positive atmosphere.
