OK, This idea is for real.

*********************************************************************************

This idea will concentrate on how isolation empathises a break-up, and how it can effect a person negatively, showing different memories that occur, triggered by different objects (such as photo's, clothing etc) and different senses (touch, smell, sight etc).
Picture a young man in his room, watching the world pass through his window, no motivation, no expression, no care left. Until he gets up out of bed, and walks around his room a little, looking outside his window, and interacting with the various objects scattered around his room. Each object will trigger a different memory, either good or bad, it will still remind him of his ex. Some camera shots will show a half-bottle of whisky on the side, with an ashtray full of cigarette butts, showing the audience that he did try to forget about it all at one point. He glances down at the floor and notices a picture. The audience cannot see what the picture consists of. The scene cuts to the young man holding the picture. (POV shot). The audience can see what the picture is now; its a picture of him and his ex-girlfriend smiling in a public place, and they look like they're enjoying themselves a lot. He then moves the picture down to show the audience the reality of the situation; the same place where the picture was taken but there is no happy couple, and the scene looks really dark and glum.
The young man continues to walk, on the way we as the audience can see he is rather depressed, head down, eyes on the pavement, still no care in the world, looking depressed. He passes a fish and chip shop, and then walks back to in front of it. The fish and chip shop triggers a memory. This memory shows the couple having a great time, this could possibly be their favourite place to get food from, as the audience can see that they are enjoying themselves a lot.
He continues walking anonymously, with no regard where he might end up, as finds himself at the train station. Depressed, he approaches the platform, eyes still locked onto the ground (POV shot of his feet, approaching the edge of the platform). For some reason, he slowly glances upwards, so he is looking ahead of himself. He sees his ex girlfriend, and she faintly smiles. The young man's eyes widened with joy, and breaks a smile, and then tries to walk towards her, completely forgetting that there is a platform in front of him. He soon finds out about the platform as a train rushes past him in high velocity, giving the young man a shock, and almost a panic look on his face, as he is desperate to get to the other side. He impatiently waits for the train to pass so he can see the other side of the platform, only to find nobody on the other side. Perhaps it was his imagination, a mirage if you will. He lets his head drop and the same depressed look on his face occurs. Losing all hope, he glances to his side, and two people are out of focus. As he looks directly at them the camera focuses on the two subjects. He sees his ex-girlfriend with another man, holding hands, laughing and walking off into the distance.
The young man's face, after seeing this, changes from depressed and hopeless, to betrayed and annoyed, and from this facial expression the camera cuts the scene.
The next scene is of the young man, in his room, this time looking for active than before, more in control of his actions, he isn't flowing or going along with anything, he is making almost assertive actions now, showing the contrast of character from the first scene. The audience can see him on his bed, with photographs and a lighter, with a bin on the floor. The only lighting in this scene will be from the lighter the young man is holding. This will show the audience the importance of the lighter, and how effective this instrument will be as the scene progresses. The audience can also see the change of emotion on the young man's face; before his mind was all over the place but in this scene he looks calm and collected, he knows exactly what he's doing. He begins to burn the photographs; which are of him and his ex. As he is burning them, memories will be triggered; the lighter when it is sparked will trigger one, when the burnt photograph hits the bottom of the bin will trigger one, a close-up of his expressions will trigger one, basically all aspects of this final scene will trigger a memory. As the scene gets deeper, the memories start to be triggered more vigorously, more sharper, more unsettling until all the tension is finally broken when he burns the last photo and lets out a big sigh. The young man then walks towards his window, and opens it. This will symbolise purity, letting in fresh air could mean a fresh start, a new beginning, and the scene ends with the young man looking off into the distance.

The location of the room will be at Thurbans Road, where we live, it will be one of our own rooms so we don't need to ask for permission. The other various shots will take place around Farnham high street, which we would only be required to fill out hazard assessment forms. I will however need permission to film in the fish and chip shop. Again, we will enquire about filming in the train station, find out if we need permission etc. Shooting all the footage will take roughly two days, which will leave us with editing the film for the remanding days. The actor and actress will be a friend of ours so we will not need to hire/pay for talent.
