TIME MUSIC / LYRICS ON SCREEN IN THE ROOM/ ON STAGE REFERENCES TO FIND

WALK-IN

Extended piano riff, taken from the music that plays on Amanda’s album after the

actual ‘Pieces’ song.

People wandering through an

artistic installation space, quite bare. People stopping in front of unknown low-fi camera, looking at an object and commenting, without knowing

they are being filmed. Some emotion and tiredness showing.

Real. Human. Some talking, undiscernable.

Scripture/s on outside screens.

SHOOT: People wandering on

stage, adding dimension at times to what is happening on screen.

Some of the ‘on screen’ elements

– white pedestals with art on them, or ready for art – are also installed on stage. So it feels like

the one environment.

Low-fi cameras, with people

looking into them unknowingly

conversation

Over the building music, maybe footsteps come in. Sound of light switch takes us to

black.

Someone enters the space, perhaps

they clear it? Then they switch something off at the wall, and we go

to black.

Digital soundscape. Some hints of melody to come, but make it hard to land or grab

hold of or follow. Flickering light SFX.

In blackness, small flickers of light

happen – almost fluorescent in nature.

between flickers of light.
