24th March

We tried to sort the story out more today.


Problems industry pointed out:
- finding a way to animate it.  (style guide)

- emotional journey  (story)  (Acceptance)

- why elderly lady leaves room (Change to standing at windows, grim follows)  (Old lady turns and looks at son,she extends hand with smile,
they walk off into the sunset through the window into the light.cuts to nights and her hand drops by window)


- why the son isnt a skull   (concepts)
table to window,sits down,walks into sunset.

Tips:
camera to show emotion.
colour





Plot:

Exterior - Sunset

-Establishing house

Interior - Sunset

-sunset casts shadows which grim and son rise from. (old lady is drinking tea)

-Grim reaper pressures son to kill her.

-son walks upto her chair and swings hesitantly with eyes closed. (old lady stands up and moves,oblivious to whats going on)

-scythe flows through the chair. (old lady is standing at window looking out to sunset)

-Grim reaper yet again pushes son towards her pressuring him. (biffs scythe)

-he tugs on the old ladies dress hesitantly

-she smiles and reaches out her hand to him and they walk into the sunset into light.


Interior - Night

-cuts to shot of lower body and hand slumped against window

Quick storyboard changes needed for the story to get an idea of what the ending might look like.



He drops the scythe as he gives up on doing things his fathers way.


He hesitantly approachs the old lady staring out to the window


he tugs on her dress

she turns back to look at him


he backs away slowly

she reaches out to him and smiles


they walk into the light 

night scene  of her slumped up against the wall

there are other minor changes as its all set in 1 room now  and the sunset creates the shadows which the grim and son rise from.
