Duration – 5 Minutes
Audience – Likely to be certificate 15 due to content, but would have to research more
Suggested Elements – Unique shots and end links to beginning
Synopsis – The opening scene show the protagonist, underwater - in slow motion, appeaing like he is drowning. In the distance, we hear an unrecognisable voice... the character acknowledges the voice, whihc becomes clearer; "Jason.. Jason... Jason!".
Jason wakes up in his bed, wide eyed staring straight ahead. It was a dream, however the voice still continues. The camera pans to the left, to which we see a television. The camera slowly dollies into the TV screen, where we see a man sat at a desk, smartly dressed. "Jason.. Jason, it's time to leave. Your time has begun.. the clock is ticking".
Jason quickly gets out of bed, a little startled it would seem. He progressed downstairs, and begins to get ready to leave in a hurry (puts on his belt, shoes, clothes.. etcetera). We notice he has a gun, but this is very subtle as to not to raise suspision (to the audience). He leaves through the door, and gets into his car, and leaves rather eratically.
As he is driving along a coutry road, we see character number two, whom is dressed in contrasting colours to what Jason has on, plus a mask to hide his face. As he turns around, he sees that the car has already stopped (rather awkwardly in the middle of the road with the door still open), and he begins to run. Fast paced music begins, and the two characters begin a short chase across some unknown terrirory.
Eventually, the chase ends when Jason loses the masked man. He gets out his gun, and begins to point it around just incase he is to spot the man. Suddently, the man jumps out from behind and puts a chloroform rag over Jasons mouth/nose, who quickly passes out. The screen fades to black.
Shots are done, showing Jason drifting in and out of conciousness.. as he is taken to an unfamiliar building, and subsequently an unknown room. The lights are turned on, flicking (Like those lights that are tubed), and we see Jason bound by the hands and feet.
The original shot (low, high-angled) shows Jason in the same position.. drowning. Again, we begin to hear "Jason.. Jason" just like before. Only this time when he wakes up, it's simply the TV that he had left on when he went to sleep.. and some unrelated program is playing.
-----------------------------------------
I like this idea because..
- It loops around, linking the ending to the beginning
- It has ample room to allow a whole array of different shots
- There is some unique ideas and shots that I could imagine
- Although the 'it was a dream' is unoriginal, it still works
This idea has since been disregarded because...
- The storyline simply isn't strong enough
- It's similar to last years project
- We don't want to have a film related to weapons/crime/murder
- It *is* still a "It was all a dream" storyline, which isn't going to work
