So I have an idea that I want to work with for this assignment- it’s a simple narrative, but it answers to the assignment. I also am hoping to make this movie without dialogue.
The narrative begins with a man who is working on his invention. He is working for a bit and digging through a few boxes of supplies until he freezes. He drops his wrench. His eyes widen. He quickly puts on a jacket and rushes to his car. He speeds out of his driveway in a worried rush. Speeding down the road, a stray dog jumps in front of the car and he halts. The dog looks and runs around in place, and the man waves his arms attempting to shoo it. The dog eventually runs off. The man continues speeding off.
The man drives for a bit until he hits a three way stop. A car drives across as slow as possible, and he taps his fingers on the steering wheel. The tapping seems to get louder to him as he waits for the car to cross. He finally is freed from the stop and continues driving off.
Still speeding, he looks anxiously at the road and speed limit, wishing he could speed up. He speeds up a bit, until he notices the car stopping and slowing down with strange noises and pops. Seen from the outside, he throws up his arms and yells in anger, and then he turns on the emergency lights and gets out to check under the hood. He works with it for a bit, banging a few things and attempting to start the car, but he eventually gives up. He runs off into the distance, determined to go to where he wants to go to.
Cars pass on the road, and he continues to pass the opposing ones, stopping a bit to catch his breath and then continue. A small hardware store is seen, as he wearily approaches it. He rushes through the store. He digs through supplies until he finds the box he wants. He rips it open and pulls out a single screw. He smiles weakly, checks out, and a scene is seen where he places what seems to be the final screw to his invention.
Edit- His invention was determined to be a toy robot, as the end of the film reveals he builds toys.
