Finalized Story following trip to London

Following the previous post, I changed my story one last time to be more reflective of what I learned about when talking to Paul Taylor during my visit to London and a video that a friend showed me on Youtube;


  • The story is set in Modern London in the borough of Southwark, early in the morning
  • It's about a stressed out middle-class worker in London who discovers a street painting under a railway bridge in one of Southwark's many side-streets.
  • The man is too focussed on the rat race and 'being early' or 'being on time' to the point where it's ruining him.
  • The painting is about the history of Falcons living in London and all of the struggles they've had to endure for the 500+ years that they've been in London.
  • The man is originally skeptical about the painting, but as he looks at it it comes to life.
  • The moving painting then draws him in to the story that it's trying to tell, and we follow his own mental journey as he follows the story of the painting.
  • After the man finishes looking at the painting, he learns to accept that there's no point getting stressed out over life and that he should just learn to roll with whatever life throws at him and tackle it as it comes.

The main difference between this idea and every other previous idea is the fact that I decided to use the Falcons as a catalyst to tell a story about a completely different theme, which in itself sprung from the fact that a lot of people in our class -myself included- were getting stressed out over the story ideas for our films, so I wanted to tell a story that somehow reflected on that while using all the research that I'd done on falcons.
