1 BLACKNESS

Out of the blackness of space spots of light start to appear.

We are MOVING TOWARD planetary nebulae; MOVING through the stars; MOVING closer to the Earth.

We MOVE CLOSER to the earth; beautiful, covered in clouds, as though SEEN from a satellite. We are MOVING CLOSER to the earth; through the soft clouds, close enough that we can MAKE OUT the Northern Hemisphere; CLOSER to EUROPE; CLOSER, to the United Kingdom, then Yorkshire.

DETAILS start to appear. First we can SEE towns, roads, start to appear threading across the countryside, then as we CONTINUE ZOOMING we can SEE cars. Our VIEW KEEPS FALLING towards a field, seemingly packed full of lorries, CONTINUING TO HEAD DOWN we can SEE people, and horses milling around and we start to HEAR the tannoys.

The view CONTINUES TO ZOOM, but we PAN AWAY from the lorries towards a white roof and a single lone rider sat astride a 16.3 hand chestnut gelding.

THE CAMERA STARTS TO LEVEL OUT and the view STARTS HEADING ALONG THE GROUND, about 7 feet up directly towards the horse and rider. We continue TO GET CLOSER. The background noise fades from our hearing and the camera MOVES SLOWER AND SLOWER towards the horse and rider.

As we approach we being to HEAR a countdown 3, 2, 1 and as we hear the word GO our POINT OF VIEW becomes that of the horse.

Suddenly the camera startt to SPEED UP moving FASTER AND FASTER until IT FEELS like we are doing 60 MPH heading directly towards a wall. Loud ROCK MUSIC OVERWHELMS the SOUNDTRACK as climaxes as we leap over the wall and our view FADES TO BLACK...
