Life

Logline: After the main character misses his/her chance, he/she finds out that being always on our phones makes us forget what really matters.

Treatment: A and B are passing by on a street corner and disregard each other because they are on their phones. The narrator has a speech about the use of phones and how it affects life in present time. Choosing this path indicates, how they are missing the opportunity to meet each other. This gives an example of how technology can distract us from bigger events that occur in our everyday lives. After this it leads us into act 2.

In the Act 2 the exact scene happens, but this time both of the people are not on their phones. The outcome in this scenario is totally different. Considering that there is no distraction; B smiles, and A smile back, which engages them in conversation. The preceding scene is them talking to each other. They are meeting each other, getting to know one another, and become better friends. The becoming friends idea is going to be represented by different moments in time when they are having coffee, talking at school, and just walking together.

In Act 3 we are using the same scene as in Act 1, the difference being the scenes with A and B walking further, each in different directions. At the same time the narrator is talking about the importance of putting the phone down. To end the commercial a slogan is given such as, “Real Life, it’s free, and doesn’t need a charger. “
