Idea Generation & Shot List.

After many hours of thinking and brainstorming different ideas, we now have one which we think is perfect to fit in with the psychological thriller! The first idea we were thinking of doing was something involving Sam's band, Sephiroth. However we thought this wasn't necessary and came up with the idea of a day in the life of tramp, with a twist at the end. We were going to include a part where the tramp goes to meet a drug dealer and then enters the toilets, takes the drugs and starts to panic, which ends up with him passing out on the floor. After discussing the idea with our teacher, we decided to remove the drug deal, and include another character which over looks the tramp, and ends up locking him in the toilet at the end, however the audience don't know who it is. We're trying to make the opening play on the mind as much as possible, whilst keeping it relatively simple.

The plot to the opening is as follows:

• The Tramp (Sam, Main character) is walking through train and gets off at Windsor and Eton Riverside Station.

• Once he's on the platform, he sets up his busking equipment and starts to play the guitar.

• Whilst he's playing the guitar, another character (Me) is looking over at him, constantly watching what he's doing.

• Whilst the tramps busking, there will be a background time lapse of the station moving fast as time passes by, making a nice effect showing the tramp trying to earn money.

• Once the day turns to night, the tramp packs up enters the Windsor and Eton Riverside toilets to do his business.

• Whilst in there, the other character (Me) locks the door.

• The tramp then tries to leave and realises he's locked in.

• He then starts to panic and time is passing by quickly, with different camera angles of him around the room showing him trying to escape, we show this as it is a natural reaction of a human to panic when locked in a confined space.

• The tramp then starts to become really hot and agitated, making him become angry and feel faint.

• He slips and blacks out on the toilet floor.

So we now have our plot complete, and have also finished our shot list and storyboards! Below is a presentation of our shot list, showing you what we have come up with!
