fiction piece

So far the best idea our group has is about someone who has something stuck in a tree. The story will be about how the protagonist gets the item down and how it got stuck there in the first place. We will probably introduce one or two other characters who will interact with the protagonist and provoke explanations of the main character’s dilemma. We think that using flashbacks showing how he got into this situation with a voice over of him describing it to the other characters would be a good idea and interesting to watch. Some items we have discussed for the thing stuck in the tree are: a sandal or shoe, a watch, or a belt. We would like it to be something odd that might seem awkward to get stuck in a tree. I think that having the setting focused around a tree will provide for some very interesting camera angles and shots: from the tree, from the ground. Also one of our group members is an experienced tree climber and was part of the UCSD tree climbing club, so we shouldn’t have to much trouble arranging the set.
