[30/05/11] a video from a phone

My phone is a Nokia Slide 6760.
When buying the phone it comes with a small cable which you plug into the side of the phone and attatch to the computer in the USB Port
You open the phone file, then open the video folder and search the name of the video, if you havent put the video under a name it is harder to find, so i usually do
Keeping the folder open you copy the video file and paste it to your desktop.

WRITTEN STORYBOARD
[TONIGHT ALIVE, STILL SHOTS – KELLY @ WINDOW]
And so the sky becomes a dream [Kelly looks out window]
I never dreamt because I'm just too busy
Waiting for nothing and wasting away
[MUSIC]
Don't tell me it’s too hard[Jules & Kelly @ piano J]
You were never there from the start
I'm not about to give this up
Giving up was never enough

And so the sky becomes a dream[Kelly, angry, trashes room and slams door
L]
I never dreamt because I'm just too busy
Waiting for nothing and wasting away
And so the sky it watched my dreams[Dancing]
Fall to pieces right in front of me
Cause I'm just too busy
Waiting for nothing and wasting away

And I'd never wish for anything more[Jules, Kelly, AJ, Rego, Jacinta @ dancing
J]
Than to find what I've been looking for
And I swore to myself I wouldn't lie to myself
How could I let this happen?
So I pull myself aside to take the time [Kelly alone, mirror]
To tell myself it’s alright
Cause you weren't there to dry my eyes [tear]

And so the sky becomes a dream [dancing]
I never dreamt because I'm just too busy
Waiting for nothing and wasting away
And so the sky it watched my dreams [picnic
J]
Fall to pieces right in front of me
Cause I'm just too busy
Waiting for nothing and wasting away
Wasting, wasting away [Kelly walking w/ rose]
Wasting, wasting away
And so the sky becomes a dream [dancing]
I never dreamt because I'm just too busy
Waiting for nothing and wasting away
And so the sky becomes a dream [still shots of memories]
I never dreamt because I'm just too busy
Waiting for nothing and wasting away
And so the sky it watched my dreams [Kelly crying / drops phone]
Fall to pieces right in front of me
Cause I'm just too busy
Waiting for nothing and wasting away [rose on grave, walks w/ Jules- disappears]
Wasting, wasting away
Wasting, wasting away, yeah
