inspiration comes from a music video from a song called "Luv Deluxe" and the idea of the butterfly effect showing different outcomes from one situation.
my idea is a short film, shows a sequence of a guy with his girlfriend and when she leaves the room he gets a text hinting that he's cheated on her. Girlfriend then walks back into the room.
He tells her, apologises, pleads with her to stay and she leaves.
*reverse the sequence to just after Girlfriend walks back into the room*
He hides his phone, she sees this and grabs the phone, she goes mad - arguement - she leaves.
*reverse the sequence to just after girlfriend walks back into the room*
he deletes the message and doesn't tell her, everything is fine, she happily leaves and we see boyfriend..... (not sure yet)
WWW: Your idea of a relationship breakdown is good as you could make the narrative simple and allow the micro-elements to convey the story. You would also be able to find an achievable / realistic location e.g, someone's house and the street.
ReplyDeleteEBI: I would leave the reverse shots out as it could lead to confusion and too much time spent on the narrative structure, rather than the micro-elements.
Show me: An idea for a simple narrative with an achievable location and how your micro-elements would convey the meaning.
