With the basic concept for the short story down, it’s time to start padding out the scenes. With each cut you will see the environment and the piggy bank changing, from the child’s early years to adulthood.

  • Scene 1:
    Begins in a small baby boy’s room, with a cot and rotating mobile. The camera focusses on the piggy bank, wrapped in a bow as a gift to the new born child.
  • Scene 2:
    Cot has changed to a small bed, and other props appear. A hand extends out to put coins in the piggy bank. This represents the young child caring for the object.
  • Scene 3:
    The room has changed to a teenagers, and loud music is playing in the background. The bass from this begins to shake the piggy bank off the table, when it falls and smashes on the ground
  • Scene 4:
    2 hours later. Same scene as before, just with the smashed object glued together, looking brittle and worn
  • Scene 5:
    The piggy bank has been neglected and put away in a box, left in the dark surrounded by clutter.
  • Scene 6:
    Rebirth of the object. Brought back into the light in a new baby girls room, as a handed down gift.

I’ve decided on a name for the short, forgotten. But piggy is remembered in the end, so all is good.
