Act One, Scene 1

The scene will begin with an extreme long shot taken on top of a bridge of oncoming traffic. An introduction to the main character (the homeless boy) walking the busy streets of the city. This will be shot on the miniature effect on the camera to create a time lapse and emphasize on the passage of time.

Act One, Scene 1

The title of the movie (WORTHLESS) will be introduced as the major character walks by the camera in a medium shot. Whether there will be a trash can in the background or not will finalized during the editing phase.

Example: (self-made)

 

Act One, Scene 2

Homeless boy sits outside a restaurant or café. The manager sends sweeper/janitor to ask him to leave as he’s a nuisance according to him. This will be taken on a low shot to signify the distinction in class and make the homeless boy seem inferior.

Example: (self-made)

Act One, Scene 2

The manager pours a bucket of water on the homeless kid to force him to go away. The boy lays on the ground, cold and shivering. This will be taken from a low angle beside the shoulder shot with the manager standing tall to again emphasize the sense of dominance.

Example: (self-made)

Act Two, Scene 1

Homeless boy sits in a ghetto-like alleyway. He receives something from a stranger and unrolls it for further inspection. This will be a medium shot taken from a low angle.

Act Two, Scene 2

The boot symbolizes an ominous foreboding and adds a dramatic effect. Taken from a long angle close up. The pack of chips is a positive sign and creates an optimistic feel until this scene occurs.

Act Three, Scene 1

A drug addict sits next to the boy. This represents an idea of similar class and equality. They sit side by side which symbolizes a bond created between the two and are on the same boat. Again taken from a low angle.

Example: (self-made)

One of the last scenes is of the boy holding an injection. He inspects this like he did with the election poster earlier but is curious this time. The next clip shows him injecting it without second thought as he feels he can trust his new, spontaneous friend.

Example: (self-made)
