THE SCREEN

[In score composition interplay between rhythmic and melodic phrases originating from words (Love writes itself in the heart of hope), use ostinati and use pulse to punctuate rise and fall of emotion (using melodic or rhythmic phrase smoothly, jumpy, step-by-step etc) and use horns among orchestra instruments. Let music connect with scene, long and short occurrences ascribed to notation values.
{Tentative opening scene: Papers fluttering in an open drawer and then it pans out into an open wide window with broad curtains and paper and curtains scatter in wind}
Screenplay:
The last blob of ink from a fountain pen soaks into an oak wood paper to dry itself at the tip of a signature.
Buffalo leather bag – black, pressed to the torso by both arms clad in black, emerges out of a glass door that slides open, as the escalator conveys them downward while the glass door slides back to close, the figure of a male pacing towards a female passer-by colleague in a bid to get her attention occurs in the distance, revealed as the escalator lowers man with bag’s head off. It is a sight of very brief seconds, and the glass door had shut back to close behind, yet happening was transparent.
Face of one holding bag is now revealed by camera panning up from hands clutching bag showing a bit of confusion and then quickly relief. This was while glass door slide back and transparency go on.
Very tightened long shoe lace on mirror-polished shoes step off the end of an escalator.
‘Mr. Dickson’ a voice calls out loud from a little farther behind in the foyer not far from the main entrance before exit of the complex where his figure was set.
The clapping of footsteps from hard soled shoes echoes around the foyer. A black suited executive appears before Mr Dickson breathing hard. Mr Dickson takes in his handshake. His words are pulsated by breathing. He catches his breathe and speaks at the same time.
‘Thanks for doing business with us’
‘Very well Edem you almost lost me on our way but I hope this business relationship will be the beginning of something new to be the envy of this world’. He lays an emphasis on the word business while a grimace of pleasance sketched itself as the sunshine would be let out by a cloud. Edem looked quite puzzled at this moment shortly.
‘Certainly-
Mr Dickson interrupts Edem very quickly and adds, ‘ – certainly Toya is in the frontline of her life’. He smiles.
Mr. Dickson is seen walking out the main exit of the foyer as Edem is left alone behind him enjoyably puzzled.
In a shorter distance from Mr. Dickson’s full figure before the front yard of the building, camera pans up his headspace and shows the entire organization building in shot with the big signage that read, ‘Frontline Advisors’
Orchestra now plays louder
And performance of Spoken Word piece is made live with music


Visual theme – composition of shots should follow the theme of wedding ceremony
