Here is a copy of the first draft of the script. This definately needs a few more drafts yet, and I am struggling with finding a good ending for the story. I've tried numourous endings now and I haven't been happy with any of them. The ending in this draft involves the main character eating someone's dog. It's very deus ex machina, which is not what I want. It has been very frustrating but I will carry on and hopefully something will come to me soon.

Project Proposal
For my FMP I have decided to make a short film which looks into the role that music plays in setting the mood for scenes. The story is fairly straight forward: A 20-something slacker loses his job and his girlfriend so decides to retreat into the wilderness to get away from real life. The working title is 'Home From Home'.
Nothing particularly nice happens to the main character and I have decided to play the film straight and not write the script as a comedy. However, with experimenting with the sound and the score, hopefully I will be able to find the right tone that works well with the film which will give it a comedy feel.
There are two main locations which I will be using for the film. The first is a pub in Torpoint called 'The Kings Arms', which is where the main character works. The second is a small wooded area next to my house. This is where the main character will retreat to once his life has gone downhill. The wooden area will be decorated to make it seem like someone has lived there for a few weeks. This will take a few days of preparation.
The shoot will take place over 4 days. The first day of filming will be in the woods, as the main character will need a beard for the scenes where he has escaped to. The second day will be spent filming at The Kings Arms. The third day will be spent filming at my friends house in Plymouth, where the main character's girlfriend lives.
The fourth day of filming will take place a week later, for cutaway shots and anything else that might need to be added.
I will be editing the film on Adobe Premiere as it is a program I feel very comfortable with. I intend the film to be no longer than 15 minutes.
