Rough Ideas Caroline Robertson, Abi black

Our group has collectively come up with various scene ideas to fit with our general storyline plot.

Story Line Rough Idea:
The basic storyline idea at this point is one of a family household affected by domestic violence, told through the eyes of a young boy witnessing and growing up around it. We are basing it around a monologue narrative so that the audience can really sympathise and experience the moments in the way that the child sees them.
The film is going to play with themes of alcoholism and end with a "happy ending" where the mother has brought up the courage to leave.

Scene Ideas:
1. Long shot of isolated house. Possibly involving crane movement?
2. Ping Pong scene of boy, starting with a Medium shot slowly zooming out into a long / extreme long shot to show the boy is playing alone.
3. Crying under duvet scene. Claustrophobic framing.
4. Trampoline scene, still camera.
5. Fathers friend patting on head, extreme close up on fist. No face shown for adult.
6. Poker night scene, lots of foleys and shot of boy in the hallway. Dark Lighting, possibly smoke machines.
7. Walking over broken bottles scene, close ups on feet and glass, tracking.
8. Final Fading shot, voice overs merging, still camera movement.
9. Tracking shot of boy running to his sanctuary ( maybe a tree or forest)
10. Point of view shots looking at house from sanctuary.
11. Looking at alcohol, shot reverse shot, extreme close ups/ close ups.

Now that we have main scene ideas we will go on to form a storyboard and script.
