DQ's Thoughts on film

Hey guys, I think one or two of you had written this down also.. but I am just going to throw it up here since it is already typed-


EXPOSITION:

-Starts right into the battle
-Other Gorillas Mean, banging on cages
-Peacefull gorilla at the start (shows character)
-Cages already open- the Gorillas that occupied them are engaged at different times and run off into the warzone (Thus having

no time to relate to them)
-A cage lands in the foreground/middle ground - Curious and yet still peacefull our gorilla comes out
-Chopper that held this cage flies off screen left
-Gorilla will react to other apes engaging
-Gorilla then is engaged and is sent off (need to show he is unique/different then the other gorillas)


When Gorillas around dead, scary to our Gorilla

Formulating differences between real world and mind world



WAYS TO TIE IN THE MIND WORLD AND THE REAL WORLD:

-Beeping sounds coming from implant or other sounds - when in mind world you can hear those same sounds, perhaps louder..

more reverberated

-"Eyes to the soul" Eyes turn white, no pupils and we enter the mind state through the eyes at least once to show the audience this.. then they will understand from that point on

He must be formulating the differences between the real world and the mind world (Piecing it together along with the

audience)


REALLY PUSH CLIMAX:

-Flashing rapidly wetween states
-Fighting enemy soldier with gun
-Shot fires off and grazes shoulder of Gorilla.. He knows now what the gun is/does
-He grabs the soldier (Around throat with one hand, gun in other still fighting) -Will he kill soldier?
-He then slowly turns the gun towards his own head - What? will he kill himswelf?
-Shot fires and implant is destroyed, wall inside mind crumbles- room fills with light, light is soldiers eyes and pupils

return- The ape is now free of implant
-He drops gasping soldier and crushes gun easily, throwing it aside. The soldier confused but knowing he is no match when un

armed scurry's out of frame

(has to realize to survive he must break free) Doesnt care whether it will kill him or not, better that then trapped in mind

and killing against will



END:

-Happy dance, runs off screen left into the thick of the jungle- Goes into "Natural Cave"
-slowly truck out to reveal he is in a safe haven untouched by the warzone around
-Birds added for awesomeness and depth/atmosphere (they can perhaps fly into the same haven as the gorilla since it is safe



MOTIF's TO KEEP IN MIND:

-Struggle
-Cage
-War inside mind
-Cave
