Reflections - PITCH - 3
So here it is...The Synopsis
A 5 minute experimental, scripted short film. It is based to show different behaviours, personalities and traits through extreme situation. The real location is university. It is about the guy who always tries to help others. It is a simple discussion between 4 people after the class where one of his course mates says that he have done nothing for others. Main character gets angry and punch him the face. He gets stressed out. He goes to the toilet, looks at the mirror and wash his face in the sink. He is in his own world. He is scared, looking around. He is in the woods. It is mud instead of water where he washed his hands and face. Stands up, goes over a small bridge and sees his reflection in the water. He remembers the punch, he trembles and thinks one more time again. He remembers he have done to people. He also remembers how he agree to help that guy who he punched to do research work for his essay . He ends washing his hands in the sink. Goes back to that guy and passes a folder, saying:’Here is your research work for your last project’.
Mainly idea is taken from the horror movie Oculus. There is mirror that shows different reality. This time it is water. In my opinion the story should begin with walking through the hallway, stressed out guy, who is embarrassed about what just happened seconds ago. He goes to the toilet, looks at the mirror. Puts his both hands on the sink and wash the face. As he puts his hands towards the face the scene changes to the forest. His hands are in the mud. He is scared and wants to forgot the past. He stands up. Around him standing 3 guys. Every single one is he himself. Whispering that it was his own fault, he is living for others and is not going to achieve anything. Quickly goes over a small bridge. He looks down and sees a reflection in the water. He remembers the scene where punch a guy, just minutes ago. He regrets that. It was his course mate who told him that he has done nothing for others. He got him angry, because the main character is living his life to help others all the time. There is a flashback to the forest again. He keeps walking and remembers a discussion with the same guy. Recently the guy asked to help with research work for his project. His course mate was desperate and he agreed to help. It is the same guy who told that he has done nothing. Again flashback. He is back in the toilet washing his hands. In the end he decided to go back. All he does is passing him a folder and saying:'Here is your finished research work for your last project'. I want to make it really touching. Mostly using first person shoot.
