Ideas for step outline

Using ideas from my synopsis, I will plan, create and improve on making a Step outline for my film 'WASTE'

My ideas include:
Soundtrack for opening scene (We'll live or die in these towns - The Enemy lasting 3:54 minutes)
- I chose this song for the opening scene, because at the exposition whilst the credits are running, I would like to show footage of bombs being dropped, injured people being carried to safety and ambulances on fire. The start of 'We'll live or die in these towns' is a chorus of trumpets, which reminds me of war bugles and music from the 50's which we familiarise with war and it's a very uncomforting sound.
The Enemy are also a BritPop band, which ties in with Phil's cockney roots and blends with his personality not to mention the idea of indepentant british film. Once the guitar kicks in we'll get a close up of Phil's eye, which has a reflection of a mushroom cloud. We hear no dialouge or sound apart from the soundtrack, we see Phil getting up and looking in the mirror of what appears to be a war bunker. His face drips with sweat and he washes his face with the dirty water from the sink he's leaning to. The camera then cuts behind him to show his very scared and muscley back whilst he's bent over the sink. He then turns his head to look behind him, we hear the whir of a plane getting closer. We get a close up of Phil's stubbly face and the expression on his face is alarmed. Phil then moves out of the shot, leaving the camera to dwell on the sink and mirror in front of it. The camera them dollys out and cranes up and we see that his little bunker has been torn off the side of a building and it stands alone, his items of RAF memorobilla kept intact, as the camera still cranes up we see the Wasteland and the ruins of what was once the training grounds in Harrogate, we see an extreme long shot of Phil running with a rifle with a shadow of a plane rippling over the plains. 'We'll live or die in these towns' gets gradually louder then fades out as the next scene begins.
