Fiction Adaptation: Script notes

In order to write my script I felt I had to write down an order in which the poem would fit with what is happening on screen as I know what I want but not in which order so this is the rough nots I wrote before writing the script:

Start by walking through a field up to a church which is on the horizon.
Once we get to the church the bells chime for midday and we hear gun fires (maybe he jumps and ducks)
First paragraph ( 2 lines of the poem) appear on the screen.

Walk through the graveyard and look at all the gravestone to see how many people have died.

Walk inside the church
Seeing a man saying a prayer at the altar
Start paragraph on screen
then hear the choir ( maybe even see them)
starts to fade as walks out over the graveyard and sees a boy crying over a loved one

Last paragraph
Walk towards town passing a group of girls outside a theatre/cinema
Then pass flowers looking miserable and dying in someones garden
Walk across another fields towards the sunset

This is a very rough idea of the script on screen but I wrote what I thought should be using the poem I will obviously put a lot more detail into the script when writing it but this I feel is a definate helpful staring point rather than starting without any ideas.
