PROPOSAL FOR THE GROUP PROJECT

Tag line: Sometimes smoke can play tricks on your mind.
Log line: Chris is half-zoned out in a smokey room. He finds himself confused to why the TV spontaneously turns on. The walls vibrate and objects fall; smoke fills the room.

Scene synopsis

On an average night, strange things happen when you are intoxicated. Swirls of cloudy smoke particles are gathered around the room. A young blonde guy sits in his dull themed armchair in the centre. In front is a small flat TV screen, a brown shelf and a window with floral burnt curtains. The room is cluttered with rubbish across the floor and the walls are covered in posters. The walls are also dirty and stained. Suddenly the TV flicks onto static. Then blonde guy is looking confused and very intoxicated to why this may be. He searches around him for the remote control and turns the TV off. The TV flicks on again, this time a train appears on screen. As the train draws closer and closer towards the TV, the same TV image is portrayed in his window. He looks puzzled to why this may be and switches off the TV. Again, the TV flicks on and the train is on the TV as while as in his window, it draws closer and closer. He attempts really hard to turn the TV off by constantly pushing the off switch on the remote in a rapid manner. The walls start to vibrate from a steady pace and increases rapidly. The lights start to flicker as the train comes even closer. The curtains blow and smoke particles swirl around the room. Leaves and litter fly across the floor and we see the blonde guy confused and scared within the centre of the room on his armchair. He covers himself with his arms and tucks his head into his legs as resort of what feels like his only protection; giving up from turning the TV off. The pace at which the wind, vibration and lights flicker increases as the train is now near the window as if it will go through the walls. Fade to black.
