This film will be based on my childhood curiosity to open one of the secret boxes where my parents hide stuff in. However, there was a key to this secret box and only after carefully spying that i did, i realized where they hid it. One day, as they were going out of the house, I was left home alone and it suddenly hit me that this was the opportunity that i needed to seize in order to find out whats in the box.

The film will first start with a moving establishing shot, which pans into the living room, in which he is playing his xbox or watching tv. In the background, his parents will say, "We are going out for a while, stay safe." It is at this moment where he gives the "look" realizing that this is a great opportunity to find outs whats in it. the shift from digetic to non digetic sound is used. It then flashes back to one of his parents putting a box high up on a shelf. It then flashes back to where they hide the key, which cuts to him smiling. The camera cuts back to him in front of the tv. He starts to creep upstairs, camera gets this with a montage sequence of his feet and his hands on the rails and a close up of his face checking if anyone got him. He is startled by sounds of doors opening and is afraid that his parents will catch him. He then look down the stairs and the vertigo shot will be used to show that he is afraid. He continues going up ever so slowly, looking around, careful that he does not make any noise. As he finally gets into the room, there is a shade of a certain color (not decided yet), indicating a very dreamy and unrealistic scene. This relates back to the Judy and Madeleine transformation. He gets the key, but realizes that the box is too tall for him to reach. He gets a chair, gets up, and the vertigo shot is used to indicate that he is scared of falling. As he gets it and finally gets down, there is an extreme close up oh someone tapping his shoulder. His mom or dad calls out his name and there is a match cut between this and the watching tv scene in which his mom or dad is tapping him and calling his name. At this moment, the sound shifts from non digetic to digetic sound and the color also abruptly becomes normal. he is in a dazed and perhaps there could be a vertigo shot used here if the stair case shot is too simillar to "Vertigo"- or should I mimic it. His parents then say the same thing as they said before and he goes back to the look .The film ends here.
