Video Questionnaire
You
are about to read a synopsis of a 5-minute film we are currently planning to
film at college. Please take this time to read this synopsis. Questions will
follow after the reading the synopsis.
Synopsis:
A man is stuck in a dead end job. He begins his
day as any one would, he wakes up, turns his alarm off, makes a cup of coffee,
feeds his dog and sets off to work. Watching the clock as it hits 12 o'clock,
he heads out of his office to begin his lunch hour, greeting people in the
corridor as they have a conversation about animals, asking “Did
you know that the only mammal that can’t jump is the elephant?” (Side
note: the elephant fact is used later on so that the protagonist thinks that
they are having de ja vu. It also signifies ‘the elephant in the room’
expression, which in this case represents the fact the
protagonist doesn't realise that the world around
him isn't real.) As the day ends, the beginning routine is
repeated as the protagonist settles into some nighttime TV.
Again, the beginning part is
repeated again to represent a new day. However, when he is waiting for the
bus this time his dog's basket glitches next to him but
he doesn't notice. His day carries the same as before. When he passes
the people in the corridor they say the same fact, which confuses him but
he doesn't question it. He goes into the main office to and the same
two people are sitting at computers typing. However, (unknown to the
protagonist) they aren't actually typing; their finger hover over the keys but
don't type. As the day continues,
continues to work and more glitches happen. parts of the walls change colour
and random items appear where they shouldn't be. When he leaves work the street
is completely empty. A pause sign then appears and the shot pulls back to a
computer screen. The man and the world he was in actually wasn't real and is in
a game being played by someone and the glitches were bugs in the game
