Synopsis -Planning-

Synopsis 

In scene 1 a male character returns home late from a lecture/studies. He is very tired and almost zombie like doing his routine getting in to bed.The scene portrays him opening the door, stumbling up the stairs before finally taking his tie off and passing out on the bed (faceplant). During this whole scene the audio is diegetic and the music will not start until the last edit. There will be many cuts to make it a montage and many close ups to create it fast paced.


Scene 2 will start with a fade in from black as the male character walks away from the camera into shot. You then see the male greet his mates with handshakes and smiles. At this point the music has already started at the start of the scene. This scene is about the males ordinary life and his social life in chilling with mates. You see a montage of shots in disjuncture of what the friends are doing. These shots will be of the friends playing video games, chatting and listening to music. The final clip is of the male drinking and putting the bottle down which cuts into the next scene.

In the next scene it starts from a straight cut from the bottle to a high angle shot/worms eye view of a football and the main male character dragging back the ball in a skill move. Overall, the scene is a montage of the main character training in football, many action shots and fast paced editing. Towards the end of the scene the character will be shooting and different action shots of kicking the ball, cross cut with taking shots with drink in our next scene which is 'prinks'.

This scene will start with the group of friends in a bedroom having drinks.The friends will be clinking their shot glasses together in the opening shot. Throughout the scene it will be a montage of many close up/mid shots of the friends and drinks. This highlights what the group are getting up to and shows the audience the typical features of a teen/young adults weekend. As this is an instrumental part of the song the cuts will be fast and synced with the music.

For scene 5 there is no location or much extra filming taking place. The whole scene will be disjuncture and fast paced montage. They will be shots from previous scenes and some extras that indicate how the night out went. The shots will be highly exposed and colour corrected with high contrast to create a intoxicated effect and represent the night was a 'blur'.

The final scene is a replica of the first however with some different shots and filmed at a different time. The scene is to show the main character coming in from his night out and to show a end of a busy weekend. At this point the music will have stopped and the sound is all diegetic, similar to the first scene.
