Possible story idea that’s been
circling in my mind for a couple of days now
We have a factory worker who is
working day in
day out without talking to any one, each day he gets up and goes to work and lives as a total social recluse. We show this from jump shots of
his empty flat which is bare to him in the factory not getting involved as the
workers around him socialize. It gets to the point where no one even knows he’s there. This
sort of loneliness
is both social and mental, he retracts so much
from society that he decided to try commit suicide, we
show this by showing a silhouette of a rope chair
cliché. But it doesn’t work but the next day he
goes to work as if nothing’s happened but todays a different day today someone notice’s him
and ask’s him how
he is and this leaves him felling happy and
part of society again this is a really early idea
and has some very
dark theme, but I
think using the Kushov effect
would make it work and to
play on the idea
that you can feel lonely even when surrounded by people I am going
think of some more ideas but this is
the first one
that has strongly stuck in my brain and may be interesting if done
right, it all needs a lot more fleshing
out and will need to
be story bared to see if it works out
may be an interesting
take on are selected cards.
