84. An archaeological site is encamped outside the entrance of a cave. A team of
archaeologists is spread throughout the camp. Hearing shouts from inside the cave, the
men come running in. A group of men are hunched over digging into the side of the cave
wall. Breaking a large hole through the side of the wall, a jar can be seen in the middle of
the floor in another chamber. Moving inside, a man in the center of the group slowly and
carefully removes two documents. All the men peer over the man’s shoulder in eager
anticipation.
85. Their eyes light up and cheers echo in unison around the cave walls. The two documents
are part of the Dead Sea Scrolls. The man in the center stands up and faces the men
holding the two Dead Sea Scrolls with a grin. Dr. Jones places his fedora on his head with
a look of satisfaction. The men congratulate him, slapping him on the back. He holds the
scrolls up to a lamp to examine them. One of the scrolls is composed of heavily oxidized
copper. Because of their age they are too brittle to unroll.
86. Jones looks up as a tremor can be faintly felt throughout the cave. A man shouts to him
exclaiming it appears they have unwanted visitors. The men rush outside as the sounds
can now be heard as helicopter blades. A storm has moved in with large waves crashing
close to the site blowing tents and equipment. The men look in the direction of the sound
of the helicopter as a heavy downpour of rain drenches them. Lights can be seen from the
sky as the men scatter, chasing after equipment.
87. Jones carefully takes the scrolls and wraps them under a piece of tent fragment. Looking
up he recognizes an American helicopter. He yells above the wind and rain saying it’s one
of ours as bullets ricochet off of the descending helicopter. He tells them to hold their fire
as an explosion hits the camp and he realizes they are not alone. Following the shots and
explosives, he looks up and recognizes Bedouins and Nomadic Arabs on the edge of the
cliff. The helicopter pulls up and turns around preparing to make another pass.
88. The site is a scene of chaos amidst the storm and explosions hitting the men heavily. The
archaeological team is slaughtered, picked off one by one. The helicopter comes around
but the winds increase making it difficult to maneuver. The helicopter heads in the
direction of the Bedouins and fires a succession of missiles, causing massive destruction
among the cliff tops. The Bedouins are overlooking the cave entrance, causing the
explosions to create an avalanche of rock and large debris that showers onto the men in
the camp, covering what is left of the site.
89. Jones and three men are able to find shelter, hugging the front of the rocky walls. The
mass of the explosions have quelled the opposition, and the helicopter hovers, shakily
scanning for survivors of the archaeological team. Jones and the men move from the
shelter and wave their arms in the direction of the helicopter. The helicopter sees their
location and slowly descends, the wind and rain battering its sides. The first man attempts
to climb aboard as the helicopter touches the ground. Jones assists the other two men
who are injured as they try to board the helicopter.
136. Make Your Message Stick
• Limit the number of points made in a video.
• Three or less is a good target.
• One primary message is the ideal.
• Think about what you want the audience to remember
about the video.
137. Make Your Message Stick
• How many times did you say the targeted message?
• Always have a call to action.
• Tell the viewer what you want them to do next.
• Never ask them to do more than two things.
• Use an emotional appeal whenever possible.
• Video is a medium that works best with clear and simple
messages that go for an emotional reaction in the
viewer.
139. Keep it Short
• I have never met a video that wouldn’t benefit from some
editing.
• The whole purpose of video is to compress time and
distill a message to its essence.
• It is important that you refine a project by continuing to
strip away its unneeded parts.
• Rarely have I heard an audience complain that a video
was too short.
140. Keep it Short
• There is a reason to edit and it becomes increasingly
clear when you actually watch people as they watch your
project.
• Do your best to strip a project down to its essence and
only add what is needed.
• When in doubt… cut it out.

• You DO NOT likely qualify for Fair Use
• Many affordable services for stock music
