The 5 Stages of a Phone Death, Synopsis and Shot List
A man using his phone is using his phone when he happens to notice it is dying. While he tries to put It off as though it is nothing he becomes frantically concerned with the battery life of his phone, and as it starts to die, he goes through the five stages of grief; Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression and Acceptance.
Denial:
He continues to use the phone as though nothing is wrong and makes doubting looks towards the phone, he acts as though he is fine but he is clearly frazzled.
Anger:
He reaches for his charger thinking he can charge the phone only to realize after riffling through his bag and pockets that he's forgotten to bring one. He begins to get angry and paces around back and forth angrily.
Bargaining:
In efforts to slow the inevitable process he goes into his settings and places the phone on low power mode, though at this point it is getting to be too late as the phone is nearly dead.
Depression:
Seeing no future solution in sight he lays out on the floor next to his phone disappointed and sad, staring up blankly at the ceiling with his phone beside him facing up.
Acceptance:
He looks up to see a charger in the wall and grabs the phone and runs over, though at the moment he makes it to the cable, it is too late and the phone is dead, and so is he.
Location: fourth floor hallway
Shots:
1. Dan on the bench sitting towards the left side, quietly on the phone - the camera faces him head on though he is in the left side of the frame only.
2. Dan remains in the same spot and the camera is closer to him so you can see him from the shoulder up and you can see the perspective of the hallway walls.
3. Dan stands back up and is moving around frantically through his things, the camera is now facing his right side and you can see his entire body in the shot.
4. Dan paces back and forth throughout the hallway and the camera angle is the same as the first one so he can move forward and back through the shot.
5. While Dan is laying down on the ground and the camera is facing him from over head.
6. The camera is laid out on the floor so you can see from Dans face to his shoulders, it follows his eye line when he sees the plug at the end of the hall
7. The camera watches Dan run towards the plug from behind.
