Film Name: Icarus Rising

Duration : 3 minutes

Basic Concept
The cinema is a basic compilation of random footage with a slight sync in the storyline constituting the life of cinema and the men behind it. The cinema starts with old format analog countdown timer which fades into blackness and the first footage is shown in black and white of the material depth in life through the focus on the institute building till it comes across a single man with limited means and destitute looks mopping the floor (in a very low frame per second rate) and a sound which suspiciously sounds like marching behind. This is shown through the old school thought of video reminiscent of the late 1900’s

The second scene chances on the imagination where the man picks up his mop and dances with it at the sound of a waltz number (Mozart/ Wagner) as he continues mopping the floor. This is shown in the same archaic footage as the start till the mop drops and he slips on the floor and gathers his balance.

In the third scene the man finds himself in the next frame into the depth of his imagination and way deep into in his logistic schools of humour (still in his conscious mind) which is represented through his costume of waist high trousers, suspenders, tie and complete with a bowler/ fedora hat. He looks back where he dropped his mop and finds a cane instead which he picks up. The footage is comparatively a lot more improved than the former with a slightly increased frame rate, the sound of a whirr against the soothing essence of a clarinet playing and reminiscent of the time of Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton in a blend (reference: limelight).

The progress of the concept carries on giving scope of the various shades in cinema right from the romanticism of the Technicolor in the 60’s with romantic music calling for a lover, to the bohemian and beatnik 80’s with Eastman Chrome Tones and the setting of the present times in true resolution. .
