Mothers Days (NO LIP-SYNC REQUIRED) Draft 04.

Autumn - Raining : Colour palette reds, browns

Long shot of a car driving along the seaside - model car along the coast (CG).

Car : Son driving, Mother in passenger seat. We see them from the front (as if the camerais attached to the bonnet) We see the mothers face just peering over the dashboard asshe is short, she lights up a cigarette which starts to fill the car with smoke so he opens thewindow and his hair* starts to unravel and blow around the car. The mother sticks her armup and grabs the hair to keep it from blowing around, she continues to smoke whilst herarm is up in the air holding the hair and he continues to drive as if nothing is odd about thisscenario. He pulls over (parks) and they sit there for a moment.

Camera cuts to the sea / beach while sound effects give the impression they are strugglingto get out of the car - son unfolding wheelchair etc

They sit under one of the beachs sheltered benches (typical seaside bench - light blue,metal), its raining, the mother happy and the son blank. We hear the rain stop, then after amoment has passed the son then gets up and walks off camera, he comes back with 2 ice-creams. As he stands giving one to his mother, his ice-cream is held out slightly to the sideof him, out of his peripheral vision, a seagull which is sitting on the canopy to the benchpoos on the ice-cream without him seeing. We continue to see him sit down next to hismother (in her wheelchair) he stares into the sea (off camera) for a moment, then withoutlooking at the ice-cream goes to lick it. CUT.

Winter - Icy / Snowy : Colour palette blues, whites

Shot of a shop sign with snow and icicles, its clearly winter and cold, baron. Sound effectsof a car stopping and them struggling to get out again.

The mother wrapped up in her winter clothes with a blanket on her legs, Tinsel around herhead and flashing christmas lights on her somewhere, looking happy, and a cup of teafrom a flask (steam). The son wrapped up and looking unhappy out at the sea. They aresat on the same light blue seaside bench.

The mother suddenly gives signals to the son indicating she needs the bathroom.Next shot - Outside the public toilet cubicle with sound effects (he has to help her go to thebathroom) and the metal seat is cold. (Teeth chattering, running wee sounds)

CUT back to her back at the bench and the son walks back into frame with some nice hotfish and chips. They sit there quietly enjoying their meal - representing quiet peacefulmoments of time together.

Spring - Still a bit chilly, windy : Colour palette Greens - spring colours

Daffodils in some borders, with the car sound effects (Cut a bit shorter)

They are both sitting on the bench, with her empty wheelchair to the side. They sit therelooking at the scenery in front of them for a little while, his hair lifting in one piece a littlewith the breeze. Theres a carrier bag on the bench next to him, he pulls out a stick of rock,unwraps it and gives it to his mother. We cut to a shot of him sitting there, then his motherpasses the stick of rock back to him, he goes to put it in his mouth then just before he doeslooks down and jumps once he sees his mothers dentures clamped around it. CUT

Summer - Sunny : Colour palette oranges, yellows

Usual sound of the car pulling up, camera focused on a beach windmill stuck in the sand.

CUT to the son sat on the bench, usual established shot. He sits on the bench thinking fora while, we see all the very subtle gestures of somebody thinking, lots of sound effects ofpeople around him enjoying the beach and the weather while he sits there basking in thesun with his eyes closed, then he looks to his side (off camera) where his mum sits and

smiles faintly. He gets up from the bench, the camera cuts to further away, revealing hismum isn't there with him. He walks off, then cut to the view of a shiny In Memory Plaqueon the bench that was not there in the previous seasons.

* Hair idea referenced from a real person. Cedric. Cedric started to go bald in his early20s since then he grew his hair and managed to create some sort of helmet of hairwrapped around his head which was stuck in place with spray or some sort of hair fastenersolution (a MEGA combover). Ive heard some stories about Cedric where he would neverbe seen without his hair in perfect wrapped position and a story about his riding amotorcycle one day without a helmet forgetting what would happen to his hair. When heremembered his hair and realized it was trailing in a long vale behind him, he drove themotorbike into a bunch of bushes, and several minutes later came out with his hairperfectly re-applied.
