Script

Beginning has words on screen saying how many recorded religions there are all around the world.

[Frank Ocean] Human beings in a mob What’s a mob to a king? What’s a king to a god? What’s a god to a non-believer? Who don’t believe in anything? We make it out alive All right, all right No church in the wild

Frank Ocean verse starts and the camera goes straight along a table facing down.. Hands on fake papers (props) all you see is "ONE TRUE RELIGION" "RELIGIOUS REVEAL SHOCKS WORLD" & "FALSE BELIEFS SCAR HUMANITY'S BELIEVERS " (tracking shot downwards) "WHAT NOW?". This shows how the papers react to the news.

(More titles can be made)

At the end of the paper trail a hand comes into the shot. Shaking but goes into a clenched fist. Each line of chorus changes shot in time to characters expressions. Main charcter can be upset, show a religious item that tells the audience the main character is religious. [Jay-Z] Tears on the mausoleum floor Blood stains the coliseum doors Lies on the lips of a priest Thanksgiving disguised as a feast Rollin’ in the Rolls-Royce Corniche Only the doctors got this, I’m hidin’ from police

At the end of the paper trail a hand comes into the shot. Shaking but goes into a clenched fist. Each line of chorus changes shot in time to characters expressions.

Jay Z rap starts. Character pushes papers onto the floor. View from papers on the floor as character is seen run out of room with another paper saying "HUMANITY STRUGGLES TO LIVE WITH ANSWERS" goes to door (dads) (First-person?) Link in with he parts saying "mausoleum floor" & "coliseum doors" for when the paper hit the floor and the character leaves out the door.

Cocaine seats All white like I got the whole thing bleached Drug dealer chic I’m wonderin’ if a thug’s prayers reach Is Pious pious cause God loves pious? Socrates asks, “Whose bias do y’all seek?” All for Plato, screech

Still Jay Z now at path by road at Belmont Park (shot starts with walking down path) shot change quick to show character expressions.) Never show face in full, just eyes, mouth etc.

I’m out here ballin’, I know y’all hear my sneaks Jesus was a carpenter, Yeezy, laid beats Hova flow the Holy Ghost, get the hell up out your seats Preach

Frank Ocean chorus starts with close up of feet walking but this then dissolves into jump cuts of walking across grass and in bushes but camera turns up to top half of body showing character has walked far.

[Frank Ocean] Human beings in a mob What’s a mob to a king? What’s a king to a god? What’s a god to a non-believer? Who don’t believe in anything?

Character stops walking. Brings phone out sends text (see phone on screen with worlds appearing on the screen. "[INSERT WORDS]". Follows into Frank Oceans last 3 lines.

We make it out alive All right, all right No church in the wild

The Dream extra starts. Slow dialogs into next shot from character from view character sees (shows isolation to eyes shut to open) with a tear coming out) show chest going up and down fast. Camera then reveals character lying down. Then shot of face eye at the side. Tear running down. Heavy breathing.

[The-Dream] I live by you, desire I stand by you, walk through the fire Your love is my scripture Let me into your encryption

Change in voice reveals blood on wrist (cut wrist). Tracking shot down to reveal. Then goes straight back to eyes. The main character is struggling to keep his eyes open with the camera swerving. Camera goes back to hand clenching a fist which show’s pain.

Eyes close when last line of The Dream is sung.

Kanye west starts, the camera rewinds through the whole video to past the begniing of the music video. Flash back starts from beginning of rap till "So never fuck nobody wit’out tellin’ me"

[Kanye West:] Coke on her black skin made a stripe like a zebra I call that jungle fever You will not control the threesome Just roll the weed up until I get me some We formed a new religion No sins as long as there’s permission’ And deception is the only felony So never fuck nobody wit’out tellin’ me

Second bit of rap shows papers in characters hand a he's running after the rewind all the way past beginning.The headlines that we saw at the table at the start are in the characters hand with him running, still thinking of a way to show danger through the chaos the news has bought. *subject to change

Shot changes to character holding phone in other hand. Texts come through instead of being sent. "Your beliefs are lies that have plagued my life". This will be from his wife, shown through wedding ring throughout music video and the contact name says "Wife"

Sunglasses and Advil Last night was mad real Sun comin’ up, 5 a.m. I wonder if they got cabs still Thinkin’ ’bout the girl in all-leopard Who was rubbin’ the wood like Kiki Shepard Two tattoos, one read “No Apologies” The other said “Love is cursed by monogamy”

Kanye "monogamy" - open door (Dads) outside. First-person inside of hallway. Pair of legs lay on the ground motionless ahead. Characters loved one had killed herself. Wedding rinds can be shown on either character.

Goes back to shot of character. Eyes crying. Hands shaking.

That’s somethin’ that the pastor don’t preach That’s somethin’ that a teacher can’t teach When we die, the money we can’t keep But we probably spend it all ’cause the pain ain’t cheap Preach [Frank Ocean:] Human beings in a mob What’s a mob to a king? What’s a king to a god? What’s a god to a non-believer? Who don’t believe in anything?

Covers body. As Frank Ocean says "anything" sees character pick paper up saying "RELIGIOUS REVEAL SHOCKS THE WORLD"

Frank Oceans finishes as the screen fades to black. Show that this is where the music video then starts at the very beginning.

Will he make it out alive All right, all right No church in the wild No church in the wild No church in the wild No church in the wild
