Short film
Scenario
The film is in one shot. Without mounting. There is no sound
completely.
Unremarkable everyday landscape. Grey sky, green grass, fields and copes.
General shooting.
The camera moves as if away from the landscape. It looks like a viewer is
looking at the rear window of the car.
Camera shows rivulet, birch, hillock, a trickle of smoke. Then it presses
almost to the grass under the bench. Two old wooden posts and a board of the
bench.
In the frame are cigarette butts, trampled earth, a gust of wind periodically
brings gray smoke.
The camera turns slightly, and shows the shoes. The cheap, ordinary, dusty and
worn out shoes with a fly on them.
The camera starts to creep up.
It lingers on the edge of the sock and ankle. A mosquito has sat on a naked part
of an ankle. It is drunk with blood. The man doesn’t move. There is no any
reaction like he is feeling nothing.
The camera crawls up.
The frame moves on peppery men"s trousers.
When the camera rises higher, we understand that the person sitting on the bench
smokes and looks at the landscape from which the first shot.
The man is dressed in all monophonic gray, faded, unattractive, crushed, dusty
clothes.
The camera does not look into the person"s face. It slides on it from the side
and from behind. Camera slowly moves to the side. The man is still in the frame,
so do the fire. The black rag is burning in the fire.
The camera rises higher and moves a little bit away. There is a small coppice
behind a fire and a gray asphalt narrow road. The image slowly moves away. The
man on the bench, in comparison with the rest of the landscape, turns into a
little spot on a screen.
Titles appear. (Director, screenwriter, cameraman, etc.)
The camera goes even higher and a little back, not letting out of the frame of
the person.
In the frame appears the fence of the prison. With gates, wire, buildings.
The name of the movie appears on the screen.
FREEDOM
The camera slowly rises upwards.
A sound appears. Click. Two-second tuning of the analog radio. (During the
representation of the movie in the cinema, at this moment in the auditorium
turns on the light).
The end of Queen"s song "We Are the Champions" sounds
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
"Cause we are the champions
Click.
The screen turns off.
