So, I have revised my vision for a short 30 second to 3 minute film once again. I appreciated all the feedback from the guys that are further along in their pursuits of Digital Cinema. I have decided to cut the entire overdose scene from my film. The film now just becomes this point of view interlude of my character Jett Feathers waking up and going out to do something. Here is an overview of the 'short.' Scene 1 (Alarm sounding) The camera slowly comes into focus on a window in which the sun is coming through. The sounds of the city are introduced to the viewer as the sound of the alarm turns off. The camera slowly pans from the alarm clock around the bed side table and the viewer is introduced to my character via a picture on the table. The viewer is also introduced to items that reflect the identity of my character. We see a slow panning passing over a condom wrapper, overflowing ashtray, a liquor bottle, parts of a feather boa and some drug paraphernalia (perhaps a water bong or a syringe, spoon, and a lighter.) You hear the slight moaning of a hung over person waking and CUT! Scene 2 A shower curtain is abruptly raked open creating a slightly loud, abrasive noise, and the viewer sees and hears water to a shower start running and after a couple seconds the curtain closes as the camera slowly becomes more and more out of focus. The noise of water continues, but as the camera comes back into focus, the viewer becomes aware that we are at a fountain somewhere in the 'said' city. There are several short snippets of the city (trolleys, images of tall building, and there is a shot of the Lorraine Motel.) The camera is all shot in point of view and now we see the camera walking up some steps toward a set of large wooden double doors. In the background, there is the chanting of "loser".... "what a freak"... "faggot"... is heard and as the door is opened, everything fades to black. The camera comes into focus slowly once again and the viewer is introduced to a dark setting where there is a candle burning. As the camera zooms outward we are introduced to a series of candles and an altar until it is apparent that our character is in a church praying.
