Group 8: Concept Development - Plot

• Boy wakes up in his house, shots of the boys a typical young boys room toys, books etc.
• Boy walks downstairs
• Greeted by his mother and hugs her
• Shots of typical home life of a family, eating talking with family etc.
• Mother then leaves the house, shots of the door closing and the mood changes within the house
•  Boy is left with his father/step father, who he is evidently scared of from the moment his mother leaves
• The boy then does something wrong and the father then retaliates, shouts at the boy, slow motion shots of the father’s dominance over the boy. No violence will actually be shown.
•  Boy runs away upset closes his eyes and then goes off to this happier world of memories/better place that he is comfortable in.
• These are multiple locations –
• Brighton
• London
• Parks
• Brighton boy gets ice cream from pier.
• Mid shots of the boy with his face and body, holding a hand but cuts off at the arm of his face
• Boy on bumper carts.
• Constant close ups of his face smiling showing his happiness.
• These busy locations with lots going on and lots of people also very happy. Therefore we will need establishing shots of each location like the arcade in Brighton pier (some footage we have already)
• London – Boy looking at toys in Hamleys in amazement.
• Park – Boy plays on swings could possibly meet friends.
• The day comes to an end
• Boy then wakes back up after his time dreaming and the video ends with the mother coming back in through the door and greeted by the son.
