Project 1 ideas (Advanced Production Workshop)

open with a man working in his office (OTS shot looking at door to his office/cubicle).

it is the end of the day and others in the office are leaving (fellow employee pops in to tell MC that it is five o'clock.)

(camera shift to MCU of MC) "i'll be leaving as soon as i ..."

(camera shift MC in foreground and people leaving in background)

(CU of clock, slow fade to 5:45, slow fade to 6:33, slow fade to 7:04)

(camera shift to MC looking exausted, about to fall asleep, lights in office are off/dim and office has different feel to it)

MC tries to leave and doors are locked, after searching for a way out he finds a key and opens a door. MC steps through door and into other side of the office. when he realizes where he is he turns around as the door slams shut behind him. eerie red lighting floods the room. slow close-up on MC's face. cut to black.

artists statement: this short is meant to visually express the metaphor of the average worker who feels stuck in or imprisoned by their job. Main Character expresses feelings of Frustration, Anger, and Sadness with his current reality.
