Film PitchBy Josh Lindsay

• The ordinary man, living life days after day like everyone else around him.

Film Pitch: Living the life.

• The days go by, one by one and his daily routine is shown through his life. Morning, work, cooking and sleeping, this all speeds up showing the boring life he lives when it just stops…

• Lying in bed he awakens with a blank expression as a voice over, talking as if he's talking in his head. He starts talking about what he's doing with his life and what he can do to improve it.

• So he then gets sick of the repeating days, getting taken for granted at work, and decides to do something about it.

• After a long days work, he quits his job and in doing so meets a girl.

Camera work / editing

• During the repeating days that Ben encounters the footage can speed up to show time going by.• We can use cuts, such as jump cuts to show his journey home

and too work. Rather than filming the whole journey.

Editing / sound

• We can use a voice over to talk the viewer through Bens life, the voice over of Ben can be played over the a piece of footage that links, in which Ben can talk the audience through his miserable life, like in the bed scene.• Non diegetic music is played over the film to indicate tension

levels and keep the audience on the edge of their seats.
