a) The protagonist's life goals are that of lounging, relaxation, and watching television. All of the people coming in and out of the scene will have varying relationships with the protagonist, and thus different interaction with the character himself. They're goals will also vary (friends wanting to borrow money, his girlfriend coming to pick a fight with him, friends wanting to eat his food, etc.)

b)The obstacles the protagonist has to overcome, is the constant violation of the guest/host relationship by his peers. There aren't many obstacles for the other characters and extras, just going into and out of the apartment.

c)The protagonist will overcome the objective of having rude friends through his unwavering patience, and oblivious nature throughout the story. The characters shuffling in and out of the setting, will have to interact with the protagonist however that particular character should act, given their relationship to the protagonist. And whether they're hungry, thirsty, angry, sad, happy, tired, high, etc., will determine how they behave in a living room with they're best friend.

d) The protagonist will do nothing, but flip channels, maybe appear to speak one or two words, but for the most part, just kind of sit there, zoned out in front of the tv. The characters will talk to, insult, compliment, thanks, apologize, and beg for the food/beer/hospitality of the protagonist, and will either succeed or fail.

e) The extra characters will either leave or continue to press they're luck with the protagonist, some will give up quickly, others will not. The protagonist will just keep on in the same manner as before.

f) The actors are engaged in drinking beer, smoking, shouting, moving all over the couches at times, yelling at the protagonist or another extra, yelling at the television, running around, horse-playing, etc.

Stills for location, main character to follow...

1st storyboard

Synopsis, Logline, and Genre for 'Time' project





















Synopsis: For one man, the afternoon is a time for friends, trash tv, and beer. As he sits, vegetating on the couch, he encounters a number of visitors. Friends and co-workers pop in and out of his living room, and the protagonist remains unchanged and constant while those around him move by in the blur of an hour. They constantly change through the course of the story, as well as details in his environment, yet his unmoving and relatively unmotivated demeanor illustrates the time honored practice of passing, and killing of time.

Logline: It's a story about time we spend with our friends, and the impact (or lack their of), those people have on our lives, our afternoons, and our life. 

Genre: Drama, Dark Comedy, Stoner Movie.
