Task 1 ( project 16. (The Courage Tree ) )
Shot 1 — The Problem The Camera Sees: A wide shot of Omar, a small 7-year-old boy with short straight hair and glasses, wearing a blue and white striped t-shirt. He stands dwarfed in front of a massive, imposing school gate. His skin has a pale, yellowish tint (pale/sallow), and his shoulders are hunched as he looks up at the school with wide, trembling eyes. The background is rendered in a simple lined 2D style using a limited palette of navy blue and white. Mood: Anxious Shot 2 — The Discovery The Camera Sees: A medium shot from Omar’s perspective (POV). Through the gaps in the gate, he sees another small child standing alone in the courtyard, looking just as small and hesitant. The other child is rendered in simple lines with a splash of red in their outfit. The lighting is flat and clean, consistent with the minimal color scheme. Mood: Connection Shot 3 — The Hero The Camera Sees: A low-angle "hero" shot of Omar. He is shown from the chest up. He closes his eyes tight, takes a deep, visible breath (chest expanded), and his expression shifts from trembling to a focused resolve. The lines are clean and bold, emphasizing his blue and white striped shirt against a navy blue background. Mood: Brave Shot 4 — The Detail The Camera Sees: An extreme close-up of Omar’s face and the top of his shirt. We see the sweat bead on his pale forehead and the reflection of the school hallway in his glasses. His jaw is set firm. The color palette is strictly navy, white, and a hint of red for emphasis on his tensed expression. Mood: Intense Shot 5 — The Emotion The Camera Sees: A dynamic side-view shot of Omar mid-stride, taking a bold, large step forward into the school. The "sallow" look is gone, replaced by a bright, unexpected smile. He is now standing next to the new friend from Shot 2. The simple lined style uses white space to create a sense of relief and openness. Mood: Joyful Shot 6 — The CTA The Camera Sees: A minimalist graphic background in navy blue. In the center, a simple 2D line-art illustration of a small tree with red leaves. In the middle of the frame, the title is written in elegant white Arabic typography: "شجرة الشجاعة".
