Proposal Of Ideas

My sequence will be a short opening just under five minutes long. It will begin with a character waking up in a rural location bruised and covered in blood; he will awake and question why and where he is. He then will feel his pockets and realise he’s lost his wallet. He then will begin to make his way out of there and try and hitch-hike a ride home. He attempts this and the drivers appear reluctant, but fortunately an anonymous character gives him a ride home and he looks out of the window with a loss of dignity. He then gets dropped off and walks home and the camera rises to a sign of a neighbourhood watch logo suggesting future jeopardy. This will be filmed through a montage of credits and inter-titles illustrating the characters feelings and through a strange and unsettling non diegetic score. The sequence is from a feature film called the ‘Highline’. The narrative then follows as the character going to his friends Pete’s house and describing that he was beaten by another pedestrian. Pete then suggests to break into the pedestrian’s house and get his wallet back. They follow these actions out and adapted to the notion of robbing houses, they then begin to follow this and keep this as a routine. The films role is to establish what society is doing to the outlaw. What desperate measures youths will go to when cornered to live in civilisation that places such an emphasis upon wealth. It is also an anatomy of a robbery and exploits the motives for embezzlement and illustrates the distortion of emotion it provokes.
