Discription of the Scene:

The scene begins with a fade into shot of a wood where the football players are panting and running. Its early morning and they are running through a creek as the camera pans downward to show different levels of the terrain as the boys are running. The camera cuts from that scene and show in a long shot the boys continuing to run. The camera fades into the next clip where one player is struggling to continue and the other is encouraging him to keep going. The camera is focused on these two players but shows the others in the background until they all stop exhausted and the camera pans through the players. The camera cuts over to the coach who is standing in front of a mist Gettysburg. He pauses and asks the players about the significance of the ground they are standing on. The camera shows a long shot of him and then cuts back to zoom in on some of the players catching their breath. The camera cuts back to the coach and shows him at a low angle as he tells the players about what their ancestors fought for. The camera cuts back to the players and a inspiring, low and beautiful music is heard in the background. The camera scans back to the coach at a long shot and mist is coming from the field as he speaks about how his family was torn apart by the civil war. The camera scans over the player again and pans their faces moving upward. The camera scans back to the coach a bit zoomed in. Back to a zoom in on some of the players. As the music grows louder and more inspirational the camera zooms in to the coach and he tells the players that they can learn a lesson from the dead about how to work together as a team regardless of color. Back to the players and then back to the coach and then back to the players and again back to the coach.
