- Guy wakes up. From the moment he wakes up to the time he gets ready for work it's been 7am this whole time. (Will show this through shots of the time) (this will be portrayed with music and sounds of what he is doing)
- He gets in his car and backs out but there is another car in his way. He gets down and realizes it's frozen and the whole cars near him are frozen too.
- He then walks to his friends house to see what's up, but sees that his friend is frozen as well in his sleep. This causes the main guy to be more freaked out.
- He then runs to his house and try's to find out what is happening. He turns on the news and nothings on. He checks his phone and there's no signal. Then he goes outside again to see the people frozen and at that pint realize that time has stopped. (He will say something that shows his realization)
- He then goes back home and tried to figure it out. He changes the time to see if it would move. But it just went back to 7am. He reads his sci fi books of when he was a child to find answers but nothing helped.
- He gets frustrated and he goes to the park. He sits on a bench and puts his head on his head as if he was tired. Then he feels a hand touch his shoulder. He obviously is like WTF everyone is frozen. But sees it's a girl.
- The girl and him share minimum dialogue and will create a close relationship with montages. (Beach, ice cream, movies, etc)
- They get back home and they fall asleep.
- That morning she wakes up screaming as she has turned old and the guy starts freaking out. This movement of him screaming and shaking her not it leave him will be graphic match and it will show him freaking out alone in a chair with a bunch of wires.
- Here a women (nurse) comes to him and says "it's okay you are back sir" "this was a part of your couples therapy"
- She says this as she staking the wires off of him. And then she says "your wife (or girlfriend) is waiting for you in the other room"
- Then the camera follows him behind (hand held) and we see him open the door to see the girl from the simulation (but not old anymore) and he gives her a huge hug and says "never leave me" and the short films ends.
But today as I was going over it and as one of my team mates shared it with her mom and her brother we realized that something we haven't clrified is hwy the couple is in therapy first of all and so we decieded to start it with a couple in a house fighting at nights but we are saying all of this through a window from the outside, but we only see shadows till the last second were we show a tiny clip of his face and then jump to him waking up. We thought this was a easy way to help the audience understand the plot without revealing to much and still have that sense of mystery of where they are and we won't revile at the beginning of the film that they are in couple's therapy.
Ok so that last paragraph may be a bit difficult to understand, but to clarify it a bit here is a picture of what we have in mind to create for the opening scene.
Kinda like that except we would be looking through a white curtain from a. window of an outside of the house.
Overall I hope this post helps clarify the vision we have in our head as to the direction we want to go fro the film.
