1-4	TENTATIVE OPENING FORMAT	1-4
	FADE IN:
5	TRAVEL SHOT - ALONG OPEN HIGHWAY	5


SHOOTING THRU A WINDSHIELD or from the front of a CAMERA
CAR (showing no part of the car). MUSIC: STACCATO PORTION
OF THEME. Speed of the car to be consistent with the
tempo of the THEME.
CAMERA sees a straight run down this highway gradually
approaching a curve, We see a curve and just a little around
the curve, and as far as we can see, the highway is entirely
open. At this spot, SUPERIMPOSE TITLE anticipated for 'Sponsor
presents'. As this FADES OUT, a second SUPERIMPOSURE :
"BRODERICK CRAWFORD"
As the car goes into the curve we have our third SUPERIMPOSURE
reading: "Starring In", at which point the car is now around the
curve and about fifty yards away we see an impressive roadblock.
Probably two parked patrol cars with some sort of a barricade,
perhaps a motorcycle. Three uniformed men are in front of the
barricade, The man in the middle has one hand outstretched to
halt the approaching CAMERA CAR, The other two men are each off
to one side of them standing ready with sub-machineguns pointed
at the CAMERA CAR.
As we MOVE IN on this scene, we have the next SUPERIMPOSURE:
"Officer of the State". At this point, the THEME reaches a
CLIMAX and then goes into MELODY. As it is blended down, the
NARRATOR'S VOICE COMES IN and covers the next group of scenes
with:


		VOICE OVER
Whenever the laws of any state are broken, or when the
welfare of its citizens is endangered, each state has
a duly authorized organization that swings into
action. It may be called the State Militia or the
State Police or the Highway Patrol. It is to these
organizations, by whatever name they may be called, and
wherever they may be found, that this program pays
tribute.

5	CONTINUED:		5



		VOICE OVER
		(continuing)


These are the stories of the men whose training, skill
and courage have enforced and preserved our State
laws. These are the men whose highest ranking
officers often came up through the ranks and continued
to receive outstanding respect and loyalty from their
men because they do their commanding from the scene of
action.



CUT TO:

INT.	LARGE OPERATIONS ROOM
6	SHOT - ROOM	6

complete with all equipment, communications, maps, teletype,
etc. CAMERA PANS room, picks up teletype operator and MOVES IN
on operating teletype machine, CAMERA MOVES IN on an ANGLE so
as to indicate simply that the machine is in operation and not
to attempt to read the message. Machine stops, girl tears off
message in duplicate, and gives both copies to a Clerk. Clerk
is in motion almost at the time the message is in his hands. He
takes one copy direct to a microphone operator who immediately
and silently starts broadcasting.


7	ANOTHER ANGLE	7

The Clerk continues on toward map area. On the way to the maps
he is intercepted in motion by what is apparently an Officer --
his back to CAMERA. Clerk hands him the message as they
continue to walk toward the map. Officer moves one indicator on
the map to a given point and then indicates in pantomime with
his hand to the Clerk how to move other indicators to converge
toward a given area and makes a hurried exit thru the exterior
door. Perhaps as we see the exterior door open, we then also
see a Patrol Car parked at the curb.


CUT TO:
8	SHOT PATROL CAR	8

speeding away from this area.


RAPID CUT TO:

9	SHOT- PATROL CAR 	 9

speeding down the highway.



CUT TO:
10	SHOT - PATROL CAR 		 10

speeding around curve and making a clean CAMERA exit over the
b.g. thru which the patrol car has just passed,
we place the ZIV SUPERIMPOSURE. At this point, the
VOICE OVER should be completed. However, the THEME is
not quite finished.

We now come in with a CREDIT CARD stating:


"WE GRATEFULLY ACKNOWLEDGE THE
TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE OF THE
CALIFORNIA STATE HIGHWAY PATROL,
THRU WHOSE COOPERATION THE
AUTHENTIC PRODUCTION OF THIS
PROGRAM WAS MADE POSSIBLE."


(The above copy iS tentative and has yet to be decided upon and checked.)
The THEME is now UP and OUT and we


FADE OUT:
