SYNOPSIS
Medium close-up (head and shoulders shot) of Ewan lying in bed. He yawns and then closes his eyes. Everything is still for about a second, and nothing moves, to show that he has fallen asleep. Then suddenly all these different decorations appear from his head, like thoughts. (this will include unrolled ribbons and plastic stars and so on). Then pictures of thunder appear by his head, (one big bit, followed by smaller pictures). As the first strike appears, the camera pans to focus on it more, but doesn’t zoom. It cross-fades to the FIRST DREAM SEQUENCE:
(Each sequence represents an emotion)
FRUSTRATION – Food
He is sitting at a table, with food surrounding him - fruit, ice cream, chocolate etc… and he picks a spoon up and takes a spoonful of ice cream, but on the way to his mouth, it disappears. He frowns and tries again, but instead of it disappearing or him eating it, it turns into cat food. He then reaches for the chocolate fingers, but they run away from him. Every time he moves his hands, they move back further. Close up on his face – shows frustration and anger. Finally he picks up the apple (cut into quarters), but as he brings it up to his mouth, chunks are taken from it – like it is being eaten. This goes on until there is nothing left. Extreme close up of Ewan’s face, pulling a almost comical angry/frustrated face as he it cross-fades back to the SLEEPING SCENE again…
Ewan is still asleep, and the ribbons, stars and lightning are still there. Out of the top of his head, a small love heart appears, followed by a bigger on above that, then an even bigger one, and then an even bigger one above that etc… The camera follows the trail. After about four hearts have appeared, the camera slowly zooms in on the biggest one and it cross-fades into the SECOND DREAM SEQUENCE:
LOVE/HAPPINESS – Friends
Ewan is sitting on the middle of the sofa by himself. He looks relly bored, sighing and looking at his nails. then suddenly his friend pops up to the camera left of him. he smile an high fives him, and they laugh. then his other friend pops up to camera right. He turns to him and high fives him as well. They start pushing each other and lauhing, playing silly games and pulling silly faces. It is a sweet, happy scene. suddenly balloons and fairy lights pop up and surround them all. they burst out laughing. Cross-fade back to the SLEEPING SCENE again:
The scene is the same, keeping all the little signs around his head- including the hearts. A tear (painted) appears on his face, below his left eye, and the camera pans to watch as more tears come down his face, below the original. The camera focuses on all the tears as it cross-fades into the final succession, the THIRD DREAM SEQUENCE:
SADNESS/SCAREDNESS – nightmare.
Ewan is playing on his computer, sitting in his chair. The shot is over the shoulder of the computer, looking down on Ewan, as he types. Ewan starts to feel something in his mouth, and screws up his face and searches his mouth with his tongue. His face changes to an expression of disgust as he holds his hands out to spit out two teeth. He looks horrified and gazes at his hand before reaching into his mouth to remove yet anther tooth. Extreme close up of his palm so the teeth can be seen more clearly. He then forgets his teeth, because his arm begins to itch uncontrollably. He hold his hands out infrnt of him as he itches, and the suddenly his fingertips start turning green. Ewan looks terrfied but the greenness spreads down through his fingers to his palms. Back to the orginal shot from behind the computer and Ewan is examining his teeth ad hands in complete horror. Slow fade back to the SLEEPING SCENE:
He is still sleeping and everything is intact – including the tears. Suddenly an extreme close up of an alarm clock as it beeps its waking up call. Back to the overhead shot of Ewan and everything disappears quickly, retracting back into his head (the tears disappear – starting with the bottom one and working its way up) until he is completely clear and clean. Then his eyes fly open and the alarm stops. He yawns and stretches. Fade to black.
THE ENDDDD.
