The protagonist stumbles home drunk and collapses into his bed. While sleeping the camera pans towards him and a melting transition moves the boy into his dream. The filter will then change from black and white to a slightly processed filter with ambient lighting to give the illusion of a dream. When the boy wakes up he has had an epiphany and realises that he is apart of the proletariat and decides to challenge the bourgeoie members of the public by becoming a radical and trying to fight the oppression he feels his class suffers. This links to current politics with the Scottish referendem and the revolution being called for by figures such as Russell Brand.
The boys awakening from his bed is a reference to his awakening to the oppressive life he actually leads. The boy then begins his search for freedom and takes inspiration from figures such as Harvey Milk, Nelson Mandela and Martin Luther King. When in a rally, however, the boy gets killed and awakens from his dream. The transition will be sharp and the filter change back to black and white, then the narrative will end with the boy opening another can of beer early in the morning, signifying his attempt at making his dream a constant in his dull,black and white life.
An interesting and ambitious narrative. Could you and Fred please do a shot list without delay so the visual narrative is clear.
ReplyDeleteYour planning Luke is very behind, where is your mood board, your story boards, location shots, costume designs etc.
These need to be uploaded without delay. Thanks Luke.
