Lesson 7

Breaking Story:
It only hurts a little...until it hurts a lot.


Plot Summary
the story is about two boys, with seriously wild imaginations.
one playing the hero and the other the villain.
the starting sequence is the SuperHero Sequence, as an introduction to the seriousness of their imagination. as they play, in many different universes, as Super Heroes, Cowboys, Space Marines, Ninjas, Pirates and Soldiers, they let their imagination run wild.
so at one time something unexpected happens in one of their imaginative journeys, an unknown villain appears, and the two boys must now work together to fight or flee this new master villain - as they loose the fight and get kicked back into reality, they wonder - who or what was that ? terrified by their own imaginations they enter back into their own world with excitement , to figure out this mystery that so interrupted their fun. and through their quest, things will be revealed before their eyes. is it real, or just a fiction of their imagination ?

Possible Ending/reveal : not realized until the end of the story, they find that it was Andrew's Uncle (now tied up), trying to find his way to the bathroom. there might be a monster in some of the sequences also, witch maybe would appear to be Andrew's Dog.

a secondary plot suggestion :
superhero opening sequence. a master super villain appears in their second imaginary journey, it appears to be Andrew's older brother. angrily he tells them to stop their stupid imaginations. later on we swap between reality and imagination, as the boys take on their third journey to the master villain's layer (older brother's room). to seek for a thing that the older brother stole to teach them a lesson. something important to the story being told by the boys.
it ends in chaos, as the older brother finds out, it becomes an epic (imaginary) SuperDuper fight to the end. will imagination prevail, or will it be silenced once and for all ?
( possibly sticking to SuperHeroes and Super Villains only, maybe the layer is a space layer. something like the He-man Universe perhaps ).

idea development . . .
can imagination be dangerous . what is life without imagination . the wonder of imagination . extremes . fun children, boring adults . back to childhood . "there is a child in all of us" . Revenge . heroes an villain / good and evil . cooperation . teamwork .

Notes on the Storyboard #RE
The Chase Sequence - Heroes & Villains

Board 1#
First of I added an extra establishing shot (1) to clarify where we are, and possibly are going. Maybe there should be a wide establishing shot of the city before TRK-IN.
and as we Tilt / Pan up we TRK-IN on our hero, we cut to a medium shot, Panning up on our hero. He watches over the City. and as Robo Villain shows up I've moved the Robo closeUp (8) to be before the action. from here we have a lot of cutting. in shot (16) I added an arrow to indicate that the hero and villain are making a turn.
Board 2#
I enhanced the force of the hero's speed (17).
I added another shot of the car being smashed (20).
I changed the establishing shot of the street to clarify it better (21) as we see the roof top from (1-12). Robo villain jumps and smashes another car (22). he changes his arm into a huge canon laser gun something, and we TRK-out fast as he shoots and misses.
In shot (31 - 32) the hero's cape gets torched a bit as he turns from shot (30) towards Robo Villain. I noticed a flaw of the torched areas placement, so I changed that.
Board 3#
We TRK-IN fast from shot (32) to an extreme closeUp.
In shot (34 - 35) I changed the camera angles for better continuity and clarity within the stageline (I Think). the hero kicks the villain as he smashes to the ground.
the hero steps into the shot as the villain tumbles and falls. he gets picked up, defeated, as we hear the voice of the mother calling ( Andrew's mother ).
I added a crossover shot effect thing, to show the change.
they run out of the room and turn of the light.

End of sequence.
