Shotlist

SC01SH01 – Establishing shot. Truck-in through clouds to see floating island with a tree with a swing that a little girl, Amelia, is playing on.

SC01SH02 – Mid shot, three-quarter view of Amelia enjoying her swing.

SC01SH03 – Profile shot , Amelia continuing to enjoy her swing, each swing getting higher and higher from before, till she jumps.

SC02SH01 – At first confused and startled, Amelia floats from the lower left of the screen. After a few moments of realization, she decides to enjoy her flight and zooms off screen right.

SC02SH02 – Far shot, Amelia zooms in front of a cloud

SC02SH03 – Through the clouds, Amelia flies in from screen left and views the tree island from above.

SC02SH04 – Far shot again, Amelia flies to screen right.

SC02SH05 – Amelia floats in again from screen left, enjoying her flight, until she hears something to screen left. A canary flies in.

SC02SH06 – Close-up of canary, chirping

SC02SH07 – Close-up of Amelia, amused by the bird

SC02SH08 – Mid-shot again, Amelia enjoys her company with the bird until the canary’s chirps turn into the sounds of alarm clock bells ringing.

SC03SH01 – Amelia’s bedroom. Alarm clock is going off, about the same position the bird was in the screen just before.

SC03SH02 – Amelia wakes up and turns off the clock, smiling slightly from afterglow from her flying dream. She turns to screen right.

SC03SH03 – Slow truck-in to window. The view looks almost exactly like from the dream.

SC03SH04 – Slow truck-in from last shot continued, onto Amelia face as her expression changes from contemplation to happiness.

SC04SH01 – Elliptical shot. Camera is focused on the door to the house, which Amelia bursts out of, and runs to screen right.

SC04SH02 – Just like SC01SH02, except shorter

SC04SH03 – Just like SC01SH03, except instead of jumping at the last swing, she looks up in surprise at the sound of a crack from above her.

SC04SH04 – Camera angle like SC01SH02/SC04SH02, except quick truck-in to the tree branch the swing is on.

SC04SH05 – Branch cracks open then breaks clear off the tree, falling down. Leaves fly up from the bottom.

SC04SH06 – Amelia is pinned under the branch. She looks up with a face of disappointment.

SC04SH07 – Truck-out to show more of the farmland and a mailbox with “EARHART” written on it. Canary flies in from the left.

SC04SH08 – Amelia looks at the bird, which looks back at her. Fade to credits.
