1. 0:00 – 0:30 – Extreme wide shot of Strangeways prison for 5 seconds with Prison transport van with band members in pull in to the prison and get chucked inside. Fade to close up (music starts) of lead singer lying on cell bed, singing the introduction to the song. Whilst there are shouts and bangs in background.

Lying on my cell bed thinking what my

father said lying on my cell bed

thoughts going through my head.

What if there’s no way out now, what if

my life’s mapped out now, what if they

know where I’ve what if they know all

my sins, I can’t wait.

Music starts at 5 seconds after wide

shot with no interruption.

For the first 5 seconds on the wide

shot of the prison there will be a wind

effect heard.

Lead singer lay on bed singing the

introduction in a prison cell

2. 0:30 – 1:00 – After lead singer finishes introduction cut to mid shot of him with a bass and mic in a dark cell singing the 1st verse and cut to other members of band playing their individual instruments in individual cells. Each cell is slightly different even though they will be filmed din the same area to create the illusion of it being a genuine prison.

I’m gonna put the knife in, I can’t wait,

I’m gonna put the knife in a Holiday to

that strangeways hotel. Some people

call it hell im gonna take it one step

higher, I’m gonna set the place on fire.

Uninterrupted music

No FX

Each member of band playing their
