It’s an early morning for the students of Bermondsey High.  While the narrator is talking there would be background voices of gossiping and chattering of the students.

Camera zooms into Bermondsey High welcome sign and there is a transition where the camera Dolly’s down to shot 2 where the camera is a high angle.

Long shot high angle from the back. The camera looks up to the characters to make them seem more superior
The three girls ROSIE POPPY and DAISY march like soldier toys towards the gates eager to find out some exciting news. One that has been unanswered all term.
(voice over narrator following from shot 1)
And the students all entre through the gates and use their free time talking to their friends before the school starts.
3-7 seconds
First following from shot 1 the camera would have to follow the transition from shot 1 and Dolly up at low  high angle shot. The camera then  zooms in to the characters backs and there is a transition from this shot to shot 3, a reverse shot once the narrator has finished talking showing the front of the characters
