(mid shot walking round corner)
(long-shot walking down road)
(mid-shot at the bus-stop)
(side on close up of him looking down... lifts his head back and shuts eyes)
Day dreams to when he was in a warzone in the army,
We realise the bus has arrived.

(mid shot of chris getting on the bus)
(close up of bus pass being put on the pad)
(walk down the bus)
(mid-close shot of chris sitting down We see him sit down on the bus and rest his head against the window.)He pulls something out of his pocket, we realise it is the same picture, looking a bit tatered and torn.
(close up of the picture)
We see it a lot darker and the bus pulls up to a bus stop,
(extreme long shot of the bus pulling up, from a high angle)
we see the man get off, he looks around, very unhappy, and shuffles his jumper up because he is cold.
(extreme long shot from before of man getting off)
(mid shot from side on of sorting out his jacket, looking around)
We see him start to walk towards a council estate.
(mid shot of him walking away)
(extreme long shot)
(pans up at the building he walks too)We see him come in the front door of the house,
(mid shot of him at the door)
(close up of the key in the lock)
(mid shot of him walking in)and a woman looks at him, wanting to say something, but she can’t (she obviously has affections for him.)
(over the shot shoulder of the woman watching him)
(mid shot of her looking sad and walking away)
drop his stuff down and go and sit in the kitchen, while it Is still very dark. He puts his bag down and pours himself a drink, some leaflets fall out of a bag and we see they are for alcoholism.
He takes a swig, and puts his head in his hands. Next to him we zoom into a picture of him and his friend, with a poppy and a cross next to it…

We see the girl outside the flat,
(side on shot of her) We can see her silhouette through the door.
She waits for a bit, hesitates and then just walks away.(mid shot, dark lighting, with light from behind her)END

Storyline
The story line will stay the same except for the scenes of him as a soldier will be cut out and there will only be links to his military past, by certain clothing and pictures around his flat.

Re-Thought story line.
Because i have to keep the film under 2 minutes, i have decided to re think the story line. i will have all the clips of chris leaving the rehab center and going home as a whole. The at the end when he sinks his head into his hands, i was have a quick flash back of him on patrol and then it will fade out to the title.
i will re-write the script and post it soon.

How it will be filmed
I want my film to be filmed from the 1st person. I want it to be the first person in how he feels in his emotions. for example, i want the Main Character to stay in shot the whole time, but the camera angles and the lighting to help convey the emotions he feels. The lighting will have to be quite dark and gloomy and the weather will have to relatively miserable, which is lucky because it will be filmed in winter which will be perfect for me.
