The first scene will involve a
establishing shot of the Heath Park
building and it will clearly identify the
short films setting.
There will be a mid shot and a close up
of the Dealer who is walking along the
street to the school.
After this there will be a POV, shot
of Alex King who walks up the entrance.
At this point, King is handed the pill so
there is a close up shot of the POV,
when he is giving him the pill. This shot
will also pan back and forth to his face
and this will show King emotions, as he
is nervous and cautious about talking to
strangers.
This next scene will be a quick CU of
Kings face and his hand as he puts the
pill into his pocket still outside.
After this the next scene will be in the
entrance of the school and this INT. will
be a tracking shot of King, and he is
walking through the entrance in the
morning and he quickly takes the pill.
This will be a close up of King taking the
pill.
This shot will be King walking at a
moderately slow pace to his first lesson
(Spanish) and it will be a slow side pan
that goes into a close up shot of his
opening the door into the class
