Cornfield [Scene 1]
SCENE 1: Opening Credits
EXT. THE MIDDLE OF A CORNFIELD IN NEW YORK STATE NORTHEAST OF NEW YORK CITY
[We hear “The Wrong Generation” by Phillip Boa And The Voodooclub, play as we zoom in on the cornfield from an aerial shot. The zoom in is slow, almost painfully slow, but it must be this way to allow the opening credits to fade in and out on the screen. There is a red tractor driving across the field. As the credits finally come to a close we focus in on a small part of the field. There is a young boy that appears to be about high school age laying on his back with his eyes closed. He has Apple EarPods in that if followed, lead back to what appears to be an iPhone. All around him there are cornstalks slowly drifting in the lift cool wind of Fall. Though it is not technically Fall yet the weather seems to have inflicted it’s own views on the seasons upon New York. This weather will result in a miserable start to school for most but those who enjoy the Fall will be elated. There is distant shouting in the back from the boy’s Father but the words are indistinguishable due to the music.]
ROBERT ELIJAH
*Muffled shouting slowly fading into clearer words, due to the fact the character is moving closer to said subject* Nichollas! Nichollas! Nichollas! Nichollas!
[The boy we now know to be NICHOLLAS slowly opens his eyes and sits up. He turns on the screen of his phone and pauses the song playing: The Wrong Generation. With it the background music ceases. As Nichollas takes out his EarPods, his Father is now upon him.]
ROBERT ELIJAH
*sternly* Get up boy, ya’ got shit to do. Ya’ promised me and yur’ mother you’d be done by now.
NICHOLLAS ELIJAH
*defeated* Yeah I know.
[Nichollas slowly gets up while putting his phone in his pocket and watches his father head back towards the red tractor, which we are to assume he was driving before. Nichollas waits for a few seconds before following and the shot zooms out back into aerial view capturing the entirety of the field and farm, as well as the red tractor now driving around again. The movie title fades in and out in the middle of the scene, similarly to the credits.]
