The document outlines a film pitch called "My Mary" that explores the mind of a man named Andy after a bike accident. It describes Andy waking up alone in an empty black room representing his mind before flashes cut to his body lying injured in a park. The film would examine Andy's thoughts and memories as he slips away, conveying the themes of exploring the mind during death and promoting bike safety. It provides descriptions of the characters Andy and his girlfriend Mary, as well as notes on the solitary setting, psychological drama genre, and a fitting soundtrack.
3. BRIEF OUTLINE
• Man wakes up in a black room. Empty apart from a seat and a table with
a picture of a lady and a man
• The man is trapped inside his own mind and is trying not to go mad
• He feels pain, the pain gets worse until he falls to the ground and closes
his eyes
• Shot cuts to the man on the floor outside on the street with a biker
helmet on
6. ANDY
• The black room symbolizes the
mind of Andy. Andy’s mind has
created the version of Andy that
is the best.
• Its what Andy thinks of himself.
Marlon Brando was a good
comparison for what Andy will
look like
• The man on the bike is andy in
the real world
• Andy is a worried ma, very
cautious and likes to ask lots of
questions and question
everything.
7. SETTING
• The black room is Andy’s mind. The solitary
chair is all Andy has. This is where he looks back
on life and wonders where he is and slowly
fades to a ghost
• The park is where Andy’s body is. Lying next to
his bike. He has been hit and there is a load of
people surrounding him
8. THEME
• The main theme is looking at what could go on in someone's mind
whilst they are dying. What do they think of? What is their outlook on
the event? Can they remember what happened to them?
• Another theme is bike awareness. So many cyclists are knocked off their
bikes due to careless drivers. This film will show people the thoughts of
someone who has just been hit by a car. It will tell the audience to be
more careful when driving when there are cyclists around
• The genre is a psychological drama, the way it will be filmed will mess
with your head and make you question reality
9. SOUNDTRACK
• The black room will be silent but with the
occasional bang or the room will have a
constant bass line
• For the ending I want to have the song hillbilly
man by Gorillaz to play because the lyrics talk
about riding on and going down and a car
driving away. All links to how the man fell of his
bike
