'Bus Stop'
For this idea I wanted to have a character similar to that of Christopher Boone, a character from a book I read by Mark Haddon called The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time in which 15 year old Christopher, the lead character, suffers from AS. The condiction restricts his abilty to empathize with human emotions and the feelings of others, whilst at the same time having very strong beliefs of his own, often seeming very unusual to the common person.
The narrative of the short clip would basically be the character, suffering from a condition such as AS, sitting at the bus stop, anxiosuly waiting for his bus to arrive. Before long, to his dismay, an elderly lady sits besides him and tries to make conversation. The character then begins what turns out to be an epic struggle as he tries to put an end to the small talk and what seems a simple, mondane situation turns out to be a tortuous one as he eventually loses his patients and walks away.
I liked the idea as it provides an insight into the mind of someone who thinks very differently to most people and has an unusual yet intriguing outlook on life.
