Title: "Its in the Bag"
Elevator Line: Kevin always seems to be able to rely on his messenger bag to have what he needs, but is mortified when he finds out how.
Explanation of Theme:
This film should not to seriously look at the ideas of the unexplainable, loneliness, dependence, and the need for human contact.
Short Synopsis:
The short of it is that this is a film about a man, named Kevin, and his messenger bag. Kevin is seen always wearing it or having it near by, and it is always providing him of what he needs. Even when he think he forgot something it just happens to be in the bag. Eventually and unbeknownst to Kevin a hand and arm starts to come out of the bag to physically hand him whatever he needs. Obliviously the Kevin simply accepts what the hand is handing him. The people around him start to notice this weird hand, but Kevin doesn't know what everyone is talking about and think they're crazy. So everyone around him starts to shy away, and shun him. Eventually in a pivotal moment Kevin is sitting alone with his bag, after having everyone abandon him, he realized that the only one there for him in his life is his bag. The arm comes out to hand him a tissue, and Kevin accepts it. A few beat later while Kevin is wiping his eyes, he realizes what just happened. He freaks out and throws the bag across the room. Kevin slowly approaches the bag on the floor, opening it and peering in he ends up being sucked into the bag. The audience is just left with a shot of an empty room with Kevin's messenger bag on the floor.
Character:
The main character of this film is Kevin, and at the beginning of the film he should seem just like any other person, not particularly special. Though as the film progresses and the people around Kevin start to shy away from him, the audience should see Kevin's descent into sadness as everyone leaves him.
Structure Breakdown:
- Starts of with Kevin and his bag going through their regular life
- Kevin starts to notice that his bag provides him with anything he needs
- A hand starts to come out of the bag to hand objects to an oblivious Kevin.
- Kevin's peers start to notice this weird occurrence and distance themselves from him.
- Kevin becomes sad and lonely, realizing the only thing he can count on his is bag.
- His bag hands him a tissue, and slowly Kevin realizes what's been happening.
- Freaked out, Kevin throws the bag across the room.
- Slowly Kevin goes over to peer inside the bag, but is suddenly dragged inside it.
Tone and Execution:
This film should be light and not take it self too serious, but at the same time that light feeling should come to a halt when Kevin realizes what has been happening.
Objective:
My objective is to make a kind of funny and kind of weird film, that has an ending that leaves the audience wondering what just happened.
