DepicT Narrative Idea

Short Film-Narrative ideas

A character spins a spinning top which is endless throughout the film, showing the character is dreaming. In the last few seconds of the film, the character wakes up and is in a different location and they are hoping that the spinning top has stopped and that they are awake, they then see the spinning top keep spinning, and fall asleep again, and the narrative plays on a loop, it creates a comedic aspect as the character begins to get very irritated.

We decided on the idea of a narrative after going over a few others and found that this one would be easier to shoot and there would be very minimal disturbances when filming in just one set location.
