Storyboards: Sequence 3

Mid/Long Shot of a crow on a rooftop, holding an empty jar. Some moving cloud in distance. Crow is twitching as usual.

 Another crow flys into shot with a heart, we see another arriving in distance.

 Second crow puts heart in jar, seems pretty pleased about it. Third crow approaches.

 As third lands, second flaps up, bit of a quarrel as birds often do, first crow looks on bemused.

Third finally places his heart in the jar.

 Begins to pan down as the crows flit and twitch on their perches.

 Focus shifts from the birds to the window.

 We see a window with dying flowers in the window, unclear as to what is exactly inside.

 Cut to inside, now it is clear it is a hospital ward. Figure in the bed, strapped up to machines and moniters. More dying flowers show he is abandoned, alone, forgotten. His figure is frail and unimpressive, dwarfed by his ward bed.

His head slowly tilts to the side, eyes closing.

 As the light in his eyes dies, the heart monitor flatlines. Ominous beeping sound synonymous with death.

 Slowly pans to the left, focus shifting to the dead flowers in the window.

 Slow zoom to the window.

 A crow appears, cocks his head, surveying the situation.

 Flies into the room and offscreen.

Second of emptyness.

Flies back onscreen, with the heart, not stopping and flying straight out of the window.
