Your life doesn’t wait.
First of all, thank to you Edi for your class, which I found very enriching.
- Here, the goal is to push the viewer to take action
Hook
*The sun peeks out at dawn (uplifting music) *
« Today you’ve set a goal for yourself » (Silence)
« You’re going to start workout.Because you want to lose weight and regain your self-confidence. »
*The alarm rings for 7 seconds… (Music stops)….An hand reaches for the snooze button and hits it*
« But as usual and like most people who give up on their dreams
you’re putting your life on hold. »
Setup
*Time stands still, everything freezes, the image darkens*
« Another day put off until tomorrow… »
(Somber music that creates a tense, almost sad atmosphere)
« Have you ever even wondered how many days you have left,
and if this were your last, would you be satisfied with the life you’ve led ? »
(Music builds in tension)
« When people are asked on their deathbeds, more than 70% say they wish they’d had the courage to live out their dreams… And the most tragic part is that they always thought they had time. »
(A sound emphasizing that word, followed by silence)
“Don’t become someone who realizes too late that life doesn’t wait”
Change
*The frozen image rewinds and goes back in time before the alarm clock rings*
« You’re lucky… you still have time. » (Silence)
« Make sure that This day counts ! »
*(Upbeat, motivating music starts softly) as the image regains its color*
*The alarm rings for barely 2 seconds, The hand turns it off*
« You know what you want »
*The person practically jumps out of bed and looks at the sun through the window; close-up on their smiling face, full of determination*
« you don’t know how to get it.
Ask yourself what someone who already has what you want would do. »
*The person gets ready to go for a run while the motivation music builds in energy*
« Marathons runner, they runs.
Athletes, they train.
Musicians, they play instruments.
Writers, they writes.
No matter what you dream of, you have to take actions. »
Reflection
*The person leaves their home and starts running. Close-up shot, which gradually becomes a wide shot*
« No one will do it for you ! It’s your life !
And if you have the courage to live a life true to yourself, not the one others expect of you. »
*Wide shot with the sun rising as the man runs toward his dreams*
« You take a risk » (Silence, tension)
« The risk of being happy ! »
Motivational music grand finale Victory music, rising energy
