Reminisce
Film Synopsis
Our film sequence begins with an elderly man walking through a park. The park is unpopulated and almost silent, which symbolises how the man feels empty, isolated and alone.
As he walks along, the man reminisces about memories he has of times he’s enjoyed with his wife. He recalls when they first met, his proposal, their wedding day, and the day their child was born.
In all of his flashbacks, the character’s will appear as silhouettes and he will remember them in third person. The music playing over these shots should be romantic and sweet, as well as giving an underlying message of sadness.
Between each flashback, some shots of the real world will be shown, as the sky gradually becomes darker and the non diegetic music intensifies. We will use a blink effect to differentiate between the flashbacks and reality.
The last flashback will be the man’s recollection of his wife’s murder, and how her remembers kneeling next to her with blood all over his hands.
The last shot in the sequence is of the man, having reached his destination, stands looking over his wife’s grave, in complete darkness, contemplating taking his own life. The man closes his eyes and the screen fades to black.
