Scene 1: Welcoming the Darkness EXT. NARROW COBBLE STREET - NIGHT Image Description: A narrow cobblestone street shrouded in darkness. The faint glow of a lone street lamp illuminates only a small area. The rest of the street is shrouded in deep shadow. CHARACTER: A MAN (middle-aged, tousled hair, trench coat) walks slowly down the street, hands deep in his pockets, head bowed. NARRATOR (V.O.): Hello darkness, my old friend; I've come to talk with you again. Because a vision softly creeping Left its seeds while I was sleeping, And the vision that was planted in my brain Still remains within the sound of silence. The man stops and looks up as the vision appears before his eyes. Image Description: A blurry, ghostly vision appears before him and disappears as quickly as it came. Scene 2: Restless Dreams EXT. COBBLESTONE STREETS – NIGHT Image Description: The man walks on, faster now, almost driven. The street lamp casts a faint glow, and his breath makes little clouds in the cold air. NARRATOR (V.O.): In restless dreams I walked alone, Narrow streets of cobblestone. 'Neath the halo of a street lamp, I turned my collar to the cold and damp When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light That split the night, and touched the sound of silence. Image Description: A sudden flash of a NEON LIGHT illuminates the scene. The man turns in surprise, his hand shielding his eyes. Scene 3: The Crowd EXT. STREET – NIGHT Image Description: The street opens up into a larger square. In the cold light of the NEON ADVERTISING, TEN THOUSAND PEOPLE stand, tightly packed. They move their lips, but no sound is heard. NARRATOR (V.O.): And in the naked light I saw Ten thousand people, maybe more. People talking without speaking, People hearing without listening, People writing songs that voices never shared. And no one dared disturb the sound of silence. Image description: The man watches the people, who seem like silent shadows. Their movements are mechanical and absent. Scene 4: The warning EXT. STREET - NIGHT Image description: The man raises his arms as if he wants to reach out to the people. But his words are like silent raindrops falling into the void. NARRATOR (V.O.): "Fools," said I, "You do not know Silence like a cancer grows. Hear my words that I might teach you, Take my arms that I might lead you." But my words like silent raindrops fell, And echoed in the wells of silence. Image Description: The people do not react. Instead, they turn to a glowing NEON GOD towering over them. Scene 5: Revelation EXT. STREET - NIGHT Image Description: The neon sign flashes and forms words that issue a warning. The people bow and worship the neon god. NARRATOR (V.O.): And the people bowed and prayed To the neon god they made. And the sign flashed out its warning, In the words that it was forming. And the sign said, "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls And tenement halls, and whispered in the sounds of silence." , photorealistic, surrealistic, very detailed, Background Light, Artificial light, spotlight, sunlight, daylight, cinematic lighting, Detail, Full body, close-up, Portrait, side view, Birds-eye view, --size 1920x1280
