Script
The movie starts with the CLOSE UP of a wall clock, which shows 3:30 PM. It is ticking loudly.
The camera slowly starts to ZOOM OUT on the clock and we can see a ball bouncing up and down. It comes on the screen from below the camera goes back down. The camera gradually ZOOMS OUT. The camera stops giving a LONG SHOT of an office from SIDE. There is a person sitting on his chair. He has his feet on top of his office table and he is playing with the ball in his cubicle. He is lazily playing with the ball in his office.
Scene 2: Animation
The camera slowly starts to ZOOM IN on the ball. In a CLOSE UP, suddenly from nowhere with a racket someone hits the ball, with a WIPE which has turned in to a tennis ball now. The camera quickly ZOOMS OUT and PANS RIGHT AND LEFT. The person who was sitting in his office is now standing in a tennis court. It is a MEDIUM SHOT where the camera is at an EYE LEVEL on the RIGHT SIDE. He is playing tennis with someone. The camera slowly follows the ball from left to right. As the ball is falling, it turns in to a soccer ball.
Scene 3: Animation
