Title: Missing Link
A close up follows of the wheel of a stationary Triumph car. The car door is opened and closed. The ignition key is inserted into the starter. The engine is started, and a close-up shows the engine’s cooling fan spinning.
A view of the rear of the car follows as it moves off. The front nearside wheel is captured in close-up as the car turns. The gear lever is adjusted by the driver.
A view of the fuel gauge shows the petrol tank half full. Another indicator shows that the battery is being charged. Another dashboard gauge shows the temperature of the car engine to be normal.
A close-up shows the settings for the interior heater, followed by a general view of the steering wheel and speedometer.
A football bounces into the road. The front of the car speeds towards camera. (The car registration plate reads: GTS 638F). A close up of the car’s horn follows as the driver sounds off. The car’s steering wheel is pulled to the right and the car is shown skidding to a stop, smoke coming from its tyres.
A wall comes into view very quickly along with the sound of a collision. A fast montage of shots follow of a broken windscreen, water leaking with some pressure from the car’s radiator, and oil dripping on to the road.
A close up of a broken shard of glass tinged with blood follows. The camera moves up the length of an unused safety belt in the car.

The camera closes in on the word “you”
