Film Summary
Rough Title: The Busker
Log line
‘On a desolate plain a one-man band attempts to busk.’
Genre: fantasy/drama/comedy
Film Synopsis
On a desolate plain, a one-man band wanders in search of his music. He stops to busk, but his instruments fail to generate sound. In his struggle, he discovers that the source of the music comes from contorting his body, and the music begins.
Characters physical appearance:
The Busker is a lone one-man band who wanders a desolate plain in search of his music. His long thin body contorted from years playing his instruments, is hunched over and twisted and carries an array of instruments on his back. The costume he wears is covered in bells and clappers, but like his instruments they produce no sound. He supports a mask on his face, which obscures everything but his eyes and mouth. On top of his head sits a mop of shocking white/grey hair, which holds its shape like wire.
Motives
The Busker wants to be the great musician he once was, but he has lost his ability to create music, and is forever searching for it in this desolate plain, devoid of sound. So he moves around again and again, stopping now and then to set up his equipment and attempt to play his instruments, each time with no success.
Internal, external conflict
The conflict in this story is between the Busker and his inability to produce music. The Busker needs to overcome his insecurity that he can no longer create music like he used to, in order for sound to be generated. This inability to generate music is personified by his instruments failure to produce sound, as well as the desolate landscape he inhabits, devoid of sound with nothing but a few broken discarded instruments, lying half buried in the ground.

Work on script so far
Synopsis:
‘ On a desolate plain, a one-man band attempts to busk. However his instruments fail to generate sound. In his struggle he discovers that the source of the music comes from his body and the music begins.’
Basic plot (work in progress)

· He begins to play different instruments, but fails to generate any sound.
· In his frustration his body contorts, and to his surprise this produces sound.
· Now follows a strange bit of choreography and sound (thinking Tom Waits, experimental jazz, a collage of sounds)
· The busker suddenly stop as he watches with bewilderment a lone crab scuttling past and to throw change
