FADE IN:
LONG SHOT
We see a piece of blank lined paper that has a cloud drawn
in the middle where the title is written (The Carbon
Cycle).
Zooms into Mid-shot

A big pencil draws Adam on the lined paper. Afterwards,

Adam comes out of the lined paper. The Pencil points to
drawings on the paper that eventually come to life. [Camera
zooms in] A carbon atom is shown whilst arrows point to
description boxes representing what carbon is.

(There is a picnic table, and

a fish in a bowl.)

Box: 1
Carbon is a pure element and in group four on the periodic
table.
Box: 2
Carbon can take shapes such as graphite, diamond and
fullerenes used in medicine.
Carbon is stored in many different forms in our body.

MID-SHOT

Such as GLUCOSE, an arrow points at Adam holding honey.

Keratin, we [pan up] to see Adam flicking his hair.
Cholesterol, Adam eats his food.

CAMERA CUTS
LONGSHOT

Adam stands openly next to a round shape representing the

world.

(We can only see Adam and

the world
being presented)

2
 Box: 3

Humans are made up of 18% to 23% of carbon and 15% of the

earth is made of carbon. (Pause) Carbon percentages have
not changed drastically, so where does all the carbon go?
Plants are crucial in the distribution of carbon.

Adam sits on an arrow which moves to Box 4.

Panning shot
Medium Shot

Pencil draws the sun, flower, water and soil which are
perfectly placed into the scene representing the
photosynthesis diagram.

(Objects pops up.

Arrows point to
The description boxes)

Box: 4
Energy from sunlight is used to drive the process which is
taken in by chloroplasts in the leaf.
Box: 5
Carbon Dioxide is absorbed from the air by the stomata.

(Scene flips round

As we explore
The underground)

Box: 6
And water and minerals like glucose are taken up from the
soil.

ZOOM IN ON PLANT’S LEAF

MID-SHOT 90 DEGREES

3
 Box: 7
The roots absorb water and minerals, the stomata have
guard’s cells which controls what comes in (Carbon dioxide)
and what goes out (Oxygen).
CAMERA ZOOMS IN ON LEAF
Box: 8
Chloroplasts absorbs sunlight which is essential for
photosynthesis.
ZOOMS OUT TO EQUATION

Box: 9
Water + Carbon Dioxide =>
Glucose + Oxygen (sunlight)
PANNING SHOT

Box: 10
Glucose is used in respiration or converted into starch and
other food types.
ZOOM out

(arrows pointing at food on the picnic table)

The wind blows making the watermelon roll of the table and
A lady bird lands on top of it[close-up].

MID-SHOT

A robin comes along and eats the ladybug [Mid-shot].

PANNING SHOT
MEDIUM SHOT

Pencil picks up the fish and draws dead eyes.

Fish lands in the river.
The fish decomposes. We see the time go by quickly, making
Adam old.
Box: 11

 Overtime, the bones become fossils, this process takes
millions of years. The fossils are then extracted and taken
to factories.
Camera slightly pans to the right

We see a factory
Box: 12
Combustion = burning fossil fuels.
Fossil fuels are used for cars, electricity, factories etc.
Box: 13
After combustion, Carbon Dioxide is released into the
atmosphere and the ‘Carbon Cycle’ repeats again.
Establishing Shot
We see the whole scene which represents the carbon cycle’s
diagram (arrows will be used to represent the flow).
[Camera pans through the notes again to show the cycle]

FADE OUT:

THE END.
