SHOT 1 WIDE ANGLE PAN weather shot winter sky and clouds 15 sec
SHOT 2 ZOOM TO CLOSE UP of Kites fighting 20 sec with cloudy background
The sky is overcast and threatening. A red kite duels a blue kite, spinning around each other, their glass strings glittering in the cold light.
SHOT 3 OVER SHOULDER SHOT from BOYS LOOKING at Kites 15 sec, framed by city on left, empty lot in front
A horde of YOUNG BOYS stands in a empty lot on the city's outskirts watching the kites battle.
SHOT 4 WIDE SHOOT of AMIR from front with horde of Young Boys; PAN RIGHT TO horde of boys fill screen 5sec
One of the boys is the young AMIR, slender and awkward, a bit intimidated in the throng of boisterous, shoving boys.
SHOT 5 ZOOM to TWO SHOT of AMIR and HASSAN 5 sec;
SHOT 6 CLOSE UP of HASSAN 4 sec
Beside Amir stands HASSAN, a boy with a face like a chinese doll. Hassan is an Hazara; his Mongol features set him apart from the other boys in the crowd, all Pashtuns.
SHOT 7 Two shot of AMIR and HASSAN 5 sec framed by boys
Amir wears American Style blue jeans and a clean, new down parka. Hassan wears a bright green chapan (a traditional afghan coat) over the thick sweater.
SHOT 8 MS of Hassan and Horde of Young Boys 10 sec
Unlike Amir, Hassan is not bothered by the roughhousing boys. If someone pushes him he pushes back, without fear or malice.
SHOT 9 CLOSE UP of OMAR 5 sec ROTATE TO OVER THE SHOULDER from OMAR to Kites 5 sec
OMAR, an older boy with a wisp of moustache, controls his kite with great skill and confidence. He allows himself a small smile as he guides his kite into a superior position.
