2. INT STAGE INTERIOR LIGHTING
We open on a blank screen and hear the sound of a heavily distorted electric guitar we then see a fade in of Steven playing on a stage; he is playing a Yamaha erg121BK. He is wearing a black canvas jacket opened over a greenish brown T shirt, with a funny slogan on it. He is also wearing a pair of blue jeans with a pair of black trainers.
STEVEN (narration)
So yeah I love this movie, I’m in it by the way. This is my favourite part of the movie where he is playing guitar on a stage. . . oh wait sorry this is the end of the movie . . . You didn’t see that urm we’ll go back
(Whilst narration is occurring various camera shots of the venue are taking place, after panning shot low angle shot from perspective of audience member from front row, we see various shots of guitarist from different perspectives around the stage.)
3. BLANK SCREEN NO LIGHTING!!!
We then see a rewind effect like one would see from a video cassette recorder appear on the screen with the sound effects of a rewinding tape. We see a rewind symbol appear on the bottom right hand side of the screen.
STEVEN (narration)
Ah here we go
We then see a dark room
DEEP VOICE
Let there be light
The audience then sees a close up of a light bulb turning on.
STEVEN (narration)
Oops too far. . .
We then see the rewind effect again with a fast forward symbol on the bottom right hand of the screen
STEVEN (narration)
There we go
4. INT BEDROOM INTERIOR LIGHTING
We then see a room with the same guitarist from earlier sat on a bed in a room playing an acoustic/classical guitar badly. . . Not just Mary had a little lamb bad; we’re talking bad, like uber happy birthday bad . . . terrible so to speak.
Camera change to over the shoulder of guitarist looking at song book, After effects of logo of WTF productions on current page of book, he changes the page and credits of Director, camera man and team involved appear as pages change.
STEVEN (narration)
AH my youth my first guitar. Aren’t I . . . good? Ish, look we all start from somewhere even you! You’re the ones who bought the ticket I mean a movie about a guitarist?
We see Steven look towards the screen in a questioning way,
STEVEN
Who’d pay to see that?
QUICK CUT OUT TO BLACK
Logo of The Guitarist’s way appears with the sound of a heavily distorted guitar chord
