FADE IN:
EXT. CEMETERY - LATE
AFTERNOON
BOOM! A crack of lightning illuminates the silhouette of a
perched crow large in the f.g.
TIGHT ANGLE - FRESH GRAVE
As a spade
smooths the walls of a new double-decker plot.
DIMITRI (O.S.)
We're
losing the light; let's pack
it in.
ANGLE - DIMITRI AND ALEXI
TWO
GRAVEDIGGERS. Scoop digger parked f.g. towering gothic-
style church
b.g. Rolls of astro turf. They look up toward
the sky.
ALEXI
Snow,
maybe?
DIMITRI
What, you gonna ski on this?
He indicates the mound
of fresh dirt. Spits into the grave.
DIMITRI (CONT'D)
Come on, let's
bag this. It's
beer time.
Alexi nods and unfurls the tarp over the
dirt.
LOW ANGLE TRACKING SHOT - FLOWERS ON GRAVES
As we MOVE alongside
a pair of canvas-sided combat boots, as the
wearer collects the most
lively flowers from each grave in
sequence.
TIGHT ANGLE - THE CROW
Cemetery DEFOCUSED b.g. Large, glossy-black, the bird follows
the arc of
movement in the previous shot. Ruffles its feathers
as it begins to
sprinkle rain.
ANGLE - ELLY - RESUMING HER MOTION
A dirty-blondish
tenement KID of eleven, clad in a blend of cast-
offs and hand-me-downs;
her version of street punk chic. She
totes a skateboard under one arm
(itself a berserk Jackson
Pollock chaos of band stickers, silver marker
and graffiti, with
day-glo wheels), and transfers her impromptu bouquet
so she may
unzip a flap and hike up a ragged hood against the rain. She
stops to watch the grave diggers pack up and EXIT b.g.
ELLY
Guess the
picnic got rained out.
She looks down o.s. at --
ANGLE - SHELLY
WEBSTER'S GRAVE
as Elly places the gathered flowers down. Almost
reverent.
RESUME CROW ANGLE - ELLY B.G.
as Elly takes a single white
rose and places it atop the grave
near Shelly Webster's.
ANGLE ON GRAVE
- AS ELLY LEAVES
TILT UP from rose to the name: ERIC DRAVEN. Rain
spatters the
granite, darkening it.
EXTREME CLOSE-UP - CROW's EYE
It
blinks in its alien way.
WITH THE CROW
as it takes wing from it's
unseen perch. Lands stop Eric's
headstone. It pecks tentatively at the
top of the monument.
ANGLE - ELLY NEAR ERIC'S GRAVE
She hasn't gotten
too far before she notices the bird.
ELLY
Oh, scary.
The bird blinks
at her from the headstone.
ELLY
What are you, like, the night

watchman?
Another blink from El Birdo.
