exercise 2

Tom is pacing around his room looking for his only shirt that doesn’t have holes in it. From the look of him it is clear he is normally a person who doesn’t worry about his scruffy appearance, and his hair looks like it hasn’t been washed in 3 weeks. He finds the shirt under his bed and smells it and quickly moves it away from his face, looking at it in disgust. As he mutters “shit” to himself, he looks around the room for a plan B, but no other shirt will suffice. He picks up a lynx deodorant can from the ground and sprays furious at the shirt. After about 5 seconds of continuous spraying, he stops and smells it again. The smell of deodorant is so intense that he gags a little. He throws the shirt onto the bed and decides to move on. He starts the shower, then takes off his clothes and then gets in. He puts his hands through his hair, just washing it with water but when he brings his hands to his face, he is disgusted by the smell. He grabs for the shampoo, but just before his hands reach the bottle has a quick thought of him with the terrible fuzzy looking hair he normally gets after washing his hair. He is unsure what to do.

The camera shot is behind Tom, with fuzzy hair, a stain on the back of his hole-less shirt which he failed to notice as he waits outside the door of his date’s house.

Is that right? Are you allowed scene changes, or are you allowed to say where the camera should be facing?
