Film Production: Treatment

Early frosty, winter morning at school (Sunday)[Establishing shots one and two]. We see a boy in his early teens looking at the field for a few seconds, thinking, and he walks out of the frame[close up, side shot]. The scene cuts and we see him walking in the direction of the changing rooms[long shot/master shot]. The scene then cuts to the boy walking past the camera on the wall of the changing room and opening to go into the room[mid shot, track]. Scene cuts to behind the boy's head as we watch him bend to pick something up from the ground. Disappears out of the frame as he bends.[over the shoulder shot]. Cuts to a close up of his hand as it feels for a crack in the step with a pin sitting in it to open the door[close up]. Cuts to the shot previously behind the boy's head/shoulder and he leans to pick at the lock, succeeding and opening the door. While walking in the lights flicker on and off [over the shoulder shot, pill focus]. The boy walks in and sits down with his boots at his feet. Becomes the centre of the frame [long shot, pan shot]. View of boy sitting down thinking about game (breathing, leaning forward etc) [side view of boy, as if vewer is sitting next to him. mid shot]. Frontal view of boy leaning forward then leaning back, looking up at the ceiling. Centre of frame [long shot, blank changing room walls seen]. Cuts back to side view of boy now leaning back on wall looking at ceiling, breathing [mid shot]. Shots of him now getting changed, pulling on his socks and shin pads [mid shot, long shot, close up, extreme close up, low angle]. Shot of boy with hands on knees standing up (que the chanting sounds of crowd as he begins to fantasize) [mid shot]. Boy then jumps up and down thinking about the game, the sounds of his sprigs bouncing off the walls as they hit the ground each time he jumps, accompanied by the sounds of singing and chanting. He then breathes, then walks towards the door and out [mid shot, track]. Boy walks out the door [point of view shot]. As he walks out the screen fades (white out) as the chanting and singing are at their loudest. We then see the boy outside in the looking in the direction of the pitch with his arms out like jesus(lol) with an England top on, with his name printed on the back? Or maybe number [mid shot]. Cuts to his face as he is smiling at the sun as he fantasizes. Voice is then heard saying "Hurry up, you're on the bench today" [close up, dialogue]. Shot is then like the one previously from behind, showing his top is not an England one, but a club football top(or training, whatever) [mid shot]. Close up of face like the one previously as the boy turns disappointed and looks dorectly at the camera [close up]. The words "THE PITCH" come up and print over his face queing heavy guitar music.
FIN.
