Breakdown of our ideas

When you try your best
but you don't succeed
When you get what you want
but not what you need
When you feel so tired 
but you can't sleep 
Stuck in reverse


(Door Slams, The character is thrown out of his house. View from window of clothes being thrown down onto the driveway, then zoom in on characters face, he then lifts all his belongings and puts them in a carrier bag, over the shoulder shot of character backing away from the house as his son is standing with his hand against the window)


Transition to the next scene where our character is in the abandoned house


When tears come streaming
down your face
When you lose something 
you can't replace
When you love something 
that you can't replace
Could it be worse


(Character will be sitting with his head in his hands sitting up against the wall and wrapped up in scruffy clothes due to the seemingly cold weather, he then reaches into his traveller bag and lifts out his wallet and sees a family photo, he looks at it for a while then folds it up and throws it away, he then takes out the heroin)


Film will then fast-forward and transition to the character taking the heroin)


Lights will guide you home
and ignite your bones
I will try to fix you 


(Zoom in on lighter whilst he melts the heroin on the spoon and retracts with a syringe then rolls up his sleeves to unveil slits on his wrists to symbolise to the audience signs of self harming, he then injects himself)


Camera will then transition to a first person view of the character using an eyeline match


High up above or down below
When your too in love
to let it goo
Well if you never try
You'll never know
Just what your worth


(Eyeline match view of camera swaying with a blurred, distorted view. Zoom in on hand as he drops the needle and slow motion view from above of needle falling to the ground)


Camera will then get a medium shot of the character stumbling across the room and the fire burning in the middle of the room will be a main focus in this scene


Lights will Guide you home 
and ignite your bones
I will try to fix you 


(Fire in plant pot within the room, the light will scatter throughout the room and the character will glance over to the corner of the room and see his family photo lying there, he goes over lifts it then quickly grabs his things and runs out of the house, a camera view looking through the flames of him leaving the house)


Instrumental 55 Seconds


(Running home with flashbacks of being happy with his family e.g. pushing his kid on a swing, son scoring goal in back garden and he lifts him in the air, holding the child in his arm and kissing his wife) He then runs into his driveway and bangs on the door and backtracks into the driveway and is seen shouting for his wife.)


When tears stream down your face
When you lose something 
you cannot replace
Tears stream down your face
And I


Falls to his knees and a close-up of him crying and a view from inside the house of wife running out to him and hugging him, then a side shot will show reaction of wires face when she realises the mess he is in, she then drags him / carries him into the house.
