Synopsis - Dom

We follow one day in the life of our main character who see's the world a little differently from the rest of us. He focuses on the positive points of his day and the things around him that make his day special and  remembers them. He  'captures the moment' as a memory.  we show his way of seeing the world around him, by looking through his hands  and 'taking a snapshot' of the moment. Whether this be people places or events that occur that make his day that extra bit special, despite the omniscient monotonous 9-5 outlook on life. Our character captures, memories and cherishes them that make his day that bit brighter. However, he still feels he hasn't found the one event that will not just make one day brighter, but every day brighter.

The character starts off in an opening shot on top of a large hill overlooking the valley beneath: where the film is set. His occupation is a dull going nowhere admin job, for a small data collection firm: we will show this via costume and props, hence why he escapes by capturing moments and focusing on the good points of the day. Travelling, from work with, he envisages and captures little things that make his day. For example, one is a picture of a beach the other an old couple on a bench or another idea is the beach and waves crashing against the pier etc. So basically, he is commuting, and he picks out things that make his day special, yet he is looking for something that will make everyday brighter: this is at the end when he meets the girl which he previously saw through his hands.A monologue explaining his 'frames' will help the audience associate the main character with not being a bit of a stalker. soundtrack when he see's the girl will also get across the point its a romantic thing not a stalker thing.

Essentially, he captures the special moments on his commute that make his day amazing: concludes with meeting the girl on way home from work. Possible switch between saturated colour and vibrancy to show this.

Inspiration from american beauty: the idea of taking images.

The monologue in Love Sick  gave us the idea to use it in our own film because it gives a more in depth reason to why he is capturing memories.

Also, we want our monologue to be in a similar style to this and Tiny Planet Explorer
