Film Proposal

Media A2 Production Proposal October 09

Name(s):

Lydia Bowden



Current outline of plot and ideas:

The film begins with a man walking along at night listening to his ipod. The camera is from a point of view of another person. They creep behind, and then attack the person and resulting in them falling on the floor. It goes white, and fades into a shot of the mans eye and zooming out to him being in a house. He is totally confused and doesn't know what is happening. The camera follows him around the house whilst he wonders where he is. The camera zooms into his eye again and zooms out to show him in a middle of a street. He begins to weep when someone comes up to him and asks what is wrong. They subtly talk about how it is 'hard' for some people and tells him not to worry about anything. He answers with 'what?'. The camera then zooms into his eye again and he is in a middle of a field. He falls to the floor, giving up on everything, until an older man in a suit turns up and calms him down. He explains how he is dead and that he will look after him. The man is still confused and seems to be quite weary and dizzy. The mans voice is muffled, as he takes him off into the distance. The screen goes white. It fades back into the place where the man was attacked with him lying on the floor. He realizes it was all a dream and gets up and runs home. As he gets to the front door he calls out to his mother saying that he has just been attacked.. He walks into the lounge, and his mother says, "Oh hello dear, this is Mr. Mannering..." The man turns around, and we see the man from the field in the suit. He says "Hello Jimmy" Is it still a dream? Is it real? Who knows...
