Clint Mansell - Dead Reckoning.
press PLAY.


scene opens. jordan, dressed in pajama pants, face partially obscured by oversized gray hooded sweatshirt. there is a steaming cup of coffee beside his keyboard. dim late morning light filters through his closed blinds. he is sitting cross legged in his black office chair. his cellphone rests next to his coffee, silent and black. he is unshaven. he is unshowered.

cut to keyboard. fingers hover above the keys. then, spring to life in short precise bursts.

cut to computer screen. safari web browser opens.

cut to close up of browser bar with blinking cursor followed by rapid display of letters reading:
oregonjobs.org

cut to close up of pinkie finger confidently pushing the return button on his keyboard.

slow inward pan shot from behind jordans seated position, his silhouette illuminated by the light of his computer screen. camera pans closer and closer as music picks up tempo.

cut to screen and keyboard montage. fingers typing rapidly. screen shots of multiple websites. dozens of job descriptions. more browser bar typing. more keyboard typing. vestas.com/jobs. ci.portland.us/jobs. emp.dept.oregon.gov/jobs. trilliumfamilyservices.com/jobs. craigslist.com/jobs. comcast.net/jobs. close up of eyes scanning erratically. close up of mouth scrunching in annoyance. more typing.

camera pans around jordan as he drinks his coffee. rubs his eyes. continues to type. rubs his cold hands together. leans closer to his screen. pace moves faster as music tempo continues to increase.

the camera pulls back from the computer screen filled with multiple website tabs open. mouse cursor is scrolling down a page of text. back behind jordans seated silhouette. pulling farther and farther back. he is seen setting down his coffee after a drink. the music stops.

scene fades to black with only the sounds of typing to be heard.

end scene.
