Film Synopsis Draft 1 - Creative Project (Zach)

Film Studies
Creative Project – Synopsis
The short film will be about the fact that for many people the internet is an escape when they feel like they are alone. People say that the internet is like a friend when you have no one, however our film will show that this is not the case.

Our anonymous protagonist is very much alone and doesn’t have any friends or anybody he can really turn to. This leads him to use the internet to find someone the same as him so he can make friends and not be alone anymore. However this doesn’t work for our protagonist no matter what methods he tries. He even goes as far as making video blogs and puts them on multiple internet social network sites to gain attention but this still does not work.


The protagonist’s situation worsens when he falls into a depression and starts consuming large amounts of alcohol and starts using drugs. One day after a night full of his vices he is sat on a park bench silently by himself collecting thoughts, when a girl sits next to him. She asks if he is the person she has seen on the internet. This shocks the boy a great deal; she then tells our protagonist about how she has seen his blog and wants to be friends with him. Just like any Drama/Romance film, our film ends the happy ending of the protagonist fulfilling his goals and becoming happy when he gets the girl at the end of the film.
