Starting guitar music
Intro
Man in bed dyeing, brother beside him. Water drip connected to his veins. Brother is crying whilst man looks to be asleep. Set In his room to show that he wanted to feel more at home. Also the fact that we couldn’t go into a hospital a film.
Shot of a scaling building then enters through a window into bedroom. Panning shot to move it along. Then camera slowly diagonally moves up whilst still focusing in on ill man to a bird’s eye view. This is for the acoustic guitar music at the start.
Shot of brother crying at his ill brother’s side. Holding his hand, then flicks to ill man and a slow zoom out. Then back to establishing shot of the two. Brother praying for his brother to be okay, miming words. Links with lyrics.
Man sitting / looking out of window staring into distance. Then gets out a picture of the two brothers and stares at it. Back to brother’s face, showing the emotion. Fades
Possibly the image comes alive and you see the two brothers playing with dog, or just a memory f the two brothers together fit and well. Little montage of the two getting alone. Possibly shot of one of the brothers holding a held hand camera, we can see what the camera is shooting, and the other brother mucking around in front of it, pauses on the face of the ill brother and it zooms out and the brother is almost crying.
Brother draws a stick man and in animation it comes alive on the page and the stickman goes to the ill man and makes him better, all in a stick world. This could represent what he wishes that he could do but can’t, so his imagination is coming to life. Then camera moves from the image of the ill man getting up in bed animation to the real life shot where he is still ill.
Brother runs into bedroom, ill brother is shaking /dyeing, brother try’s to recover him but nothing happens, it’s clear that he has passed away; brother gets angry and starts hitting things, kicking things. Becomes angry. Slides down a wall with back against it until his head is resting in his knees, starts to cry.
Shot of man/brother playing guitar, sitting on haystack and behind him a red moon. Establishing shot going into medium side shot.
Last shot of brother standing there, other dead brother appears in ghost like form and puts arm around brother to comfort him and to let him know he’s okay.
These are reasonable initial ideas that will support your work.
ReplyDeleteYou may also want to take some photographs to 'mock up' each scene. You could develop this by further evaluating the success of the ideas.
