Script

Unit-5 Script

Final story idea.

I have chosen to continue and elaborate with my first story idea.

A television is being forgot by the years in a shelve on an electronics shop. The owner has put the television in the top shelve because it's old and nobody buys "her". The television is very evil and devious. As the years has passed she has become very angry and devious with the other devices. She is being neglected by customers because of her bad condition. One night she tricks and destroys the only television that has been left in the shop which is up to date. A customer the next day goes inside the shop and desperately buys her. The television is smiling because by destroying the other television she made the desperate customer to buy "her". The man that has bought her puts her in his passenger seat and drives back to his home. As he drives he crashes somewhere and both the car and the television are being destroyed. The television is slowly dying while the car is being burst into flames.

I will depict the character's movement while the customer enters the show with a basic figure. Also the movement of the television by the character to the car and from the salesman to the person that buys her by POV drawings.

Story Ideas


Story Ideas:


1)    A television is being sold on a shop. It has been left out through the years and the owner of the shop has forgot her on a shelf. The television will become devious with the other products during the night when the shop is closed. There will be scenes  where the “devious television” will be arguing with the other televisions and electronic devices (newer and better than her). The television will be very devious with the other devices and will be arguing with them because “she” will be feeling left out from the people who have made her through the years. Until the day that she will be bought from an old man and while she is being carried to his home while the old man is not looking in the passenger’s seat (where the TV is located) she will do something to the stereo because she is so angry with whatever is newer and “better” than her. While she argues with the stereo “she” will cause something that will cause the car to crash. After the crash the old guy will die while the television will be “dying” and being destroyed through the flames of the crash. Another version of the end is that the television is the only one who stays alive in the crash and she is being taken by another man who finds her after years where the crash took place. Maybe a children or another man.

2)    A television is being located after “she” has been used and being half broken in a garbage dump. She will be so arrogant about herself and trying to be the prettiest and nicest television (electronic device) in the whole garbage dump. All the other rubbish (electronic devices , etc.) will become furious with her. She will be very angry with another electronic device (maybe another television, used computer, fridge, washing machine) and arguing all the time with it. The television will mess with the “thing” that is in better condition and “prettier” than her and try to destroy it by using other rubbish against it or trying to fight and destroy it with evil ways. In the end all the garbage will become furious with her attitude and with her actions that will kill her. The end “scene” will be with the other garbage burying under the big piles of junk as a revenge for “her” actions.

3)    A television will be located in a living room of an ordinary house. The television in the night and during the day will be arguing with the remote control all the time for the channels. The television while the person who owns her will be changing channels unexpectedly, and will cause the person to become angry. (The television will be transferring its deviousness to the person who owns her by making him angry all the time while he tries to watch his favorite TV “show”). This will be continuing until the person will become very furious and throw the television from the window. This is one version of this story. The other version is that the television will be arguing with the remote control enough up to the point that the remote control will somehow destroy the television while sacrificing his “life” (because if the television is destroyed the remote control will become useless). He will destroy the television by throwing her water or putting another furniture or electronic device to “kill” her.


These are the story ideas that I have thought and I think I will be using of these. Because many of my stories contain "human" figure and person's actions i have thought that i can use simple figures to express and depict them on my animation.
