INFLUENCES and EXAMPLES
PLOT DESCRIPTION (FILM)
- After hearing about possibly getting a promotion that result in having to work more hours and would cement their future at the company, our protagonist fantasies about what their life could be. They think about how about how they have been trapped in by the artificial man made world and how they what to escape it to find peace and freedom.
TREATMENT (FILM)
- Our protagonist lives in a extremely corporate world, full of briefcases and suits and ties. They work at a corporate office of where everyone thinks that they should be on top and only care about getting there. Their boss is very inconsiderate of the company’s employees, not caring at all about personal lives and working conditions, but rather about product and productivity, turning the office into almost a factory operated by robotic employees. The corporate world is extreme bleak, dominated by greys and cool colors, a tighter 4:3 aspect ratio, and a constant clacking of keys and ringing phones. On the other hand the world our protagonist imagines is much more interesting, with plenty of bright and warm natural light, a more open 16:9 aspect ratio, and more calm and natural sounds. The natural world is also very unpopulated, with no one else to distract our protagonist from their peaceful retreat into nature.
