Storyboard



Establishing shot -  Main character having goodbye and walks away (Glasses on)



Character's condition starts to deteriorate, schizophrenic voice takes over



Character beats the wall in frustration, in time with the music - Queen Keep Yourself Alive (Instrumental Version) - sings in competition with the voices inside his head, about wanting to take control over his own life.



Establishing shot for second day, sets contrast between the first day with happier non-diegetic music and a lighter, more beautiful scenery compared to a brick wall.



Shot of character leaning over the bridge gazing out into the lake, singing about how he feels isolated and alone, and wants somebody to understand what he's going through.



Camera tracks the character as he walks off of the bridge and continues into the park, singing continues



Second character introduced, singing about similar feelings of isolation and loneliness, although his is for his parent's inability to accept him for his sexuality. 

The two characters approach each other, simultaneously singing the same verse, almost declaring their love for one another. (Love at first sight does exist)



The two characters bump into each other and are posed as though they're going to kiss, although the right character makes a very awkward jerking body movement, which could be seen as a stabbing motion



The final shot is in colour, and leaves the audience questioning whether the character being carried is dead or alive, as the schizophrenic character skips away carrying him like a baby.
