The film will show a journey that our character takes every day to go and feed the ducks. On this journey she will go through two stages. The busy streets of the city, then strongly contracted with the tranquil setting of the lake. I think that if people look at her as she walks past during the point-of-view shot, it will make a point that she is isolated by her disability, even if she doesn't realise it.
Name: Lola
Age: 30ish
Lives With: Her parents (whom are very over protective of her - To be explained in greater detail in 10 minute piece).
Her Goal: For everything to stay the same - She doesn't like change because of her condition.
The Antagonistic Force: Maybe her scarf falls into the lake? -----> This is something that needs to be addressed more as I don't want the story to be 'boring'.
We think that in order to entice the audience into the 2 minute film, they should not see her face until the last 30 seconds or so. Partially because there will be no sync dialogue - in turn keeping the same tone. I also think that this will be effective as we would like the audience to believe she is a child until the end sequence. For example, possible shots could include her hands as she takes a photo, her shoes as she walks or her scarf blowing in the wind. If her face isn't shown until later on, the reason why people look at her in the street may also puzzle the audience.
A possible ending sequence could be that Lola falls into the water at the lake? I could show her struggle and her confusion - Also highlighting the severity of her autism through the way she reacts?
Something that I'd like to be a constant component in the film is Lola's scarf. I can visualise a rainbow-coloured scarf that keeps cropping up throughout the film. A possible working title = 'The Rainbow Scarf', not only physically relates to the costume, but could also be represented as a metaphor for Lola's personality.
