Idea 3
A man with dark hair, dark jacket, dark jeans and boots wakes up face down on the floor, the film starts with a extreme close up on the man's eye. As he slowly awakes, his eye twitches and is brought to life. He looks around and we are then shown a wide angle shot to establish the setting. It is a small dark room with one small table lamp in the centre of the room which is desperately failing at illuminating the room. The man is shown to hold his head as he stumbles and stands up. As he walks away from the light his headache begins to clear. He stares at the light, which then begins to burn on his eyes, he looks away and shields his eyes. He turns away completely and is able to compose himself after stumbling on a stool. He sits on the stool only to find he tumbles. He quickly stands and frantically looks around. The stool has gone. As he calms down slightly his attention returns to the light. It has become brighter. Whilst shielding his eyes he examines the light from his position. As he wants to see it closer he begins to walk towards it only to find the headache returns. Even worse this time. He makes it half way towards the light before he is reduced to the state of being on his knees, clutching his head. He crawls on his knees backwards and kicks the stool over which has appeared behind him. As he around and notices the stool a scrap piece of paper falls from above him and drifts in front of him. He picks it up from the floor and unravels it. It has a single line of writing on it. It says "Mnid oevr matetr"He stares at this for a second and then looks away, the camera cuts to a close up of him rubbing his eyes. The camera then cuts back as he looks at the paper again. This time it says "Mind over matter" As we are shown the paper, it brightens as the light behind him turns brighter once more. He drops the paper and stands staring straight at the light. He slowly begins walking towards the light. With determination he grimaces as he falls to his knees about halfway to the light. He makes it another quarter of the way until he is reduced to a crawl. He is shaking as he desperately makes his way towards the light. He reaches out to it as he gets close enough. He touches the light and it turns off. The shot is all in darkness. He then wakes up in his room, leant against a wall with his arm resting on a stool. (The one from the room) He stands and looks around, stretches and then is stopped dead when he sees his light turned on in the corner of the room. He rubs his eyes once more and looks back. The light is turned off. He sighs and walks out of the room. Turning the main light of the room off as he leaves. The shot is darkness and a quote is faded into the picture. Something related to the saying "Mind over matter"
