Naturity

Film project ideas:


The film begins with a black screen and the word “Naturity” appears shortly followed by the word “noun” and then subsequently the dictionary definition: “The quality or state of being produced by nature”. Finally, the word “obsolete” will appear and remains as the other words fade out.


We then cut to a man walking across a field in the middle of nowhere, he is dialling out, but no one answers his calls. The man is dressed quite respectfully like a businessman and is carrying a briefcase. The man walks through a forest and it becomes clearer to the audience that the man is lost.


Time passes and the man remains in the forest, in the dark, he tries making a shelter, using his jacket and other unnecessary clothes and creates a fire from the briefcase and his business’ documents. He sleeps, wakes up and moves on.


As he continues to walk through the nature, he feels more natural and at home. This contrast is shown by how alienated he feels as he starts to walk through society. Suddenly, he rips off his shirt revealing an ape's chest; then his trousers, revealing ape legs; his shoes and pulls his hat down and over his face revealing an ape mask.


Now as an ape the man gallops through the town, stooped like an ape and rushes to the city centre where he beats his chest like an ape, standing on his hind legs, finishing with freeze frames of him in his proud stance.


The soundtrack of the film will be mainly diegetic sounds repeated to form an orchestral piece that builds throughout the film starting with the base of the phone ringing then adding foley sounds of the man doing the activities. This will stop just as the film reaches its climax with the transformation and from there it will be silence with the foley sound of the gallop. The credits may play out to “Apeman” by The Kinks.
