Planning the Shot

The light will be coming down here

It will fill the room bleed through the walls

Everything will be light a shroud will be over the camera

A white shroud and through it we will see only light

When the cloth lifts there will be a small child pale almost
a ghost

He will run from the camera

Run hiding behind others from figure to figure down the tunnel toward
the altar

The camera will come after him slow but sure of itself sure of
his eventual capture

And then when it reaches the boy

There will be light

Everything will be light again
