My third and final idea

So after thinking my second idea through more I decided it just didnt have anything interesting about it. I figured it wouldn't make the viewers wonder what was going on, so I wanted to add a twist or something a bit different to the whole thing. I decided to play around with the colour and give the film a real meaning. I decided the panning views around Derry city just wasted valuable time for me so I started with just one short scene of Derry and moved straight into following the character around different locations.

Basically the film is about a male character who is alone and unahppy throughout different scenes in Derry. The majority of the film is in greyscale, the background music has a very faint piano melody and also wind noises can be heard throughout. He is looking for happiness. In the majority of scenes his happiness is actually closer to him than he realises. His happiness is represented by a bright yellow balloon with a big smiley face on it. This balloon is always near by and it is the only thing that is in colour. I chose yellow because it is known to be a happy and joyful colour.

I added the time lapse in the middle of the film, this was to show that no matter how many people are around you it can still seem very lonely. I proved my point exactly while filming this time lapse as not one single person even looked at the character the whole time he stood there. The majority of them nearly walked through him!
In the end the character is giving his happiness back, the scene changes back into colour and he skips off happily to a more joyful background tune with the faint sound of birds singing.
Here are the storyboards for this idea:
