Working Title: Alternate
Film Genre (or plot): Drama
Length: 10mins
Target Audience: 16-30
Tag-line: What
would you do, with your last life?
Premise: An
implant allows Adam to jump into parallel versions of himself but the new version
of himself he jumped into is missing the implant and he is faced with
mortality.
Synopsis: First
Adam must once again convince his best friend, Tommy that he can time travel,
which is not hard as he has done it before. Tommy tells him however that his
parents decided not to give him the implant and Adam is faced with mortality
for the first time in over 8 lifetimes.
For
the rest of the film Adam tries to decide how to live his life, with Tommy to
keep him straight he questions whether to follow a life he knows is good, get
his perfect girl, stay at home, relive his favourite past life or whether to
leave and experience a new different life.
Adam
thinks he knows which life he should live for those he loves, the past life
sees everyone to a happy future and he begins obsessing over the memories of
that life, making sure he is exact in his reproduction of it in front of
everyone but Tommy. Starting with his relationship with Sarah, which begins
with their perfect week but this time it isn’t perfect for Adam, he struggles
to find pleasure in reliving memories. Tommy knows and cares too much for Adam
to let him retrace his steps and convinces Adam that he wont be happy and those
around him would ultimately suffer. It then falls to Adam to leave so he breaks
his connections with his girlfriend Sarah and leaves his home with only the
clothes on his back, the money in his pocket and a friend to share his new
adventure.
Visual Realisation: Alternate
focuses on romance and companionship, the visuals should reflect this whilst
keeping the mise en scene contemporary and interesting. The scenes with Adam
and Tommy should be a little dirtier but still bright and fun, leaving the
deeper colours and emotions for the scenes with Adam and Sarah.
Statement of intent: I love Science Fiction and time travel is such a confusing and
insane concept but I have never seen it used as a mechanic to make someone
immortal. I think the problems a male 20 year old in contemporary Britain
