I have a person who I think I want to make my character for the project. I would like to meet with him and see what he does normally day-to-day and if that can inspire settings. I wanna see if I can make a sorta shot list, so here we go:
- a waking upshot with aggression that he forgot to charge his AirPods and has to go through the day without them and cannot find any other earbuds
- With my shots, I am already envisioning close-up shots that are doing almost 360 moving upwards until the voices get too loud that we see a physical reaction.
- gradually progression of mental wellbeing being documented
- prompted shots for the sins to have a voice come out to, for example:
- greed- take their wallet to a person walking in front
- you should be ahead in your classes
- why aren't you doing enough
- wrath - don't let others walk into you, do something about it
- tell them what's really on your mind
- envy- don't go easy on them, take the win
- take everything for yourself
- pride- you shouldn't be talking to that low life
- don't waste your breath on that person
- a closeup transitioned to a very wide depth of field to where the voices are no longer heard and the character yelling at them echos
- putting charged AirPods in a gym bag and going into his car
- speeding in the car when voices gradually begin
- a gym shot where the voices are pushing him harder and harder - he then remembers to get his AirPods
- talking with self in a medium shot why this is happening to him in a cool down
- heads home and parks and the voices start again so he decides to go for a run
- a running shot where the character puts AirPods in where the music drowns out the voice
- then would progress that the AirPods die and the friend character appears saying, "Hey I was trying to get your attention but I guess you couldn't hear me."
- they sit down and he proceeds to go on his mental list of how a lot is going on in his head and there's no escape
- he could divulge that there isn't something right and the character is going through something very abnormal.
- could then proceed with them somehow taking the AirPods when he divulges his feelings and is distracted
- sets up where the character isn't able to block out the voices without the music.
- the Airpod necessity drowns out and the character is just aggressive and upset why it doesn't stop
- "I can't live like this anymore"
- This is where the postmodern twist can occur
- The guy can be driven to the breaking point in which he drives his car until it crashes
- The best friend character can just get a notification that subject 10467 ended his life
- she could give a response, "awe I thought he would live a little longer than the last."
So, in making this idea/shot list my previous ideas didn't present as much as I originally intended. The more technical aspects are lacking and it seems I didn't really need them. I could see how I can still include them but it isn't necessary for the script. I want to keep the piece dark in the composition of lighting to get my darker themes emphasized. I do not want too much light and plan to have the majority of my scenes in the late afternoon to nighttime so there isn't too much exposure.
stay tuned...
