//All copyrights reserved XD


1. Bedroom:
( style 2D )
Fade out from black, there are two little puppets interacting, this goes on for a few seconds, pan up to reveal the puppeteer, he is a small boy with curly hair, in school uniform. Sitting sidewards from the bed. He looks happy playing with them, some giggles and laughs.
he looks like-----> (and no, not every curly haired kid looks like me -__- )


set design ( under production ) ---->



2 Continues:

Sounds outside the room. Hearing this, the boy is cautioned and hides the puppets, quickly gets behind his books. Mom enters (not designed). Happy to see the son studying, she walks towards him, wishes him the best for his exams, kisses him on the forehead and leaves. After the door is shut, he returns back to his puppets.
transition: from where he's sitting the surroundings now converts to a classroom.

3 Classroom:
There are other boys in their desks, wearing similar uniform. The teacher is a little fat lady with glasses and has a mean look. The boy's expressions are a little sad. She walks towards the desks and hands over to them, roughly. She points towards the clock on top of the blackboard, indicating the time for the exam. she closes in over the boy and looks closely, he's nervous and shaking. takes out his pencil, she walks away and sits on the chair. The bell rings and they begin writing the exam.

4 Exam:
The boy looks at his paper, reads the questions. He looks scared, not revised for the exam his hands are shaking, he nervously ticks an answer. and goes on. not being able to concentrate, he drifts off.

5 Dream:
He's in the carnival, he is the main attraction on the crowd, he has the same puppets as before, he starts performing. The crowd is cheers and whistles. He finishes his show, bows to the crowd. They cheer harder and shout. Close in to the boy, he is very pleased. Suddenly, he hears the bell ring and is awoken.

6 Classroom contd:
He rubs the drool off his mouth and looks at the paper, he had only answered 3 questions. HE blindly starts answering the questions, but the teacher appears in front of him, he looks very scared, she grabs the paper from his desk. SFX: applause and cheer.
the boys more scared then before. Transition: scene switches from this and the boy appears like a puppet, everyone in the class is a puppet, the classroom now appears like a set. SFX: continues


7 Theatre:
( Style: 3D )
Zoom out to reveal the puppeteer's hands, in theatre now. a full view of the place, its a very dimly lit place and the crowd is not visible, neither the face of the puppeteer. the spot light is still on the stage. Everyone is still applauding. Sfx: continues

8: contd:
the applause dies, everyone applauding drops like a puppet. the puppeteer comes forward confused, still not revealing himself, hiding in the dimly lit place. Suddenly the lights are switched on, and the crowd looks like mannequins with strings attached to them, zoom up to reveal the real puppeteer's hands. ( Style: live action )
