Synopsis ( messy-beta version 0.1 )


SYNOPSIS 

Based on the track of Bjorn Alexandridis, music student : ( link : B&B Demo ), the idea for this group film is basically about a man who have the possibility to enter into the others' minds.


      A man (MAIN CHARACTER) is alone, sitting in his living room. He is lost in his thoughts. We present the character with a series of abstract and random shots. In the same time - with a parallel editing - we see the same man in a bathroom, wearing a mask.
Then he decides to go down to the street. As he is walking in the street among people he doesn't know, his perception of reality begins to change and becomes disturbed. At the slightest contact with a stranger, his vision blurs and enters another reality.
He carries on walking on the street and he sees his friends, as soon as he touches them, they get lost in their worlds.


(1ST FRIEND)
This part is about a business man, who works in an office every day. He is a typical man dressed in a professional suit with a tie and a white shirt. He is prisoner of his own daily routine. He acts almost like a robot. But suddenly he will realizes his situation and try to escape from his routine. But it will not be easy for him because he will have to overcome barriers. This part will start slow and become faster and faster to match the movement of the character who will start straight and will finish totally rushed, paranoid and almost crazy.



(2ND FRIEND)
The 2nd friend he meets, is a girl. In the outside, she has a very strong personality. She is energetic and seems sure about herself. According to her clothing appearance, and her style, she is an artiste (free mind style). But when the main character enters her mind, we see her quite different. All the scenes of this part will be shot by night. In an empty street, like a ghost town, the girl looks completely lost and a little bit scared.( She carries a luggage. ) Suddenly, a deer appears ( incrustation of animation ). The animal is only drawn with outlines, with a light-painting effect. The girl tries to reach and to catch the deer, but he always disappears and reappears in different places. Finally she manages to reach the deer, and when she touches him we come back to the reality.



(3RD FRIEND)
A drunk girl sits in the street, alone next to some beers. Then she start trying to walk and follow a crystal ball and she wants to pick it up because she is fascinated by it and the ball is very attractive. The ball is moving on the ground with the camera angles. She keeps following the ball, sometimes she is real sometimes animated, depending on her drunk state. When she is walking after the ball she is about to trip and tries to catch herself from falling and pulls a rope hung in the street and everything flips upside down. The ball falls down on the ground. She sees the rope is coming from the middle of the sky. She is confused and sees the ball up on the ground and wants it back so she pulls the rope again which snaps the ball falls heavy on the ground and the scene flips again. She keeps following the ball as it drops on the street.
