Title: Getting down with TINITUS
Post by: The Obstruction on April 02, 2004, 03:40:38 PM
Getting down with TINITUS !!!

I'am about to get started on a script about a man who wakes up after a concert and realising that he now has to live with this pain in the ass diseas who makes his life in to a living hell.
I don't know how it's going to get from there but. it's like a sort of this,

the fall of the human mind

What is the oppinion  about this and the fact that i am going to put sound of tinitus as an underlaying sound towards the whole movie until he sticks a gigantic hole in his inner ear.

One of our brutally boring documentaries that we made in film school was about a guy with this disease. I wasn't on the crew that did it, but he seemed like a decent fella. He was an immigrant old guy whose job was as a set painter on the Stargate tv show.

Btw, that sound will piss off the audience if you overuse it. There's gotta be a better (perhaps more expressionistic) way of doing it...

When talking about a constant droning tone through out the soundtrack -- which would be " a liviing hell" as described by you; why would someone willfully pay to experience something so boring,tedious, and annoying? sounds like a shitty idea in my opinion. unfortunately there is really no story here.

Yes you're right.
I was pretending to have an interesting idea, an idea who could get me out of this shitty piece of life, that im living, but none the less i now find comfort in this shitty story with big changes.

It's a man who can't express his feelings (yeah i now, not a very orginal story) but because he found the beauty in music,  he wants to give this inspiration to others by beeing a singer. He goes to singing leassons at an old opera snob who talks to him like he was garbage because he can't sing a pure tone.
But through a long discussion, we get to know that the man has tinitus, and can't expres his feelings because this tinitus is naging him. You see he has discovered the beautiful thing, but can't undestand it, finding something and undestanding is two differant things (in my oppinion) and the not understanding part is the tinitusit's inflikting on his feelings of the whole world.

Still it's just a thing im doing to get of this shitty life of mine, but write what you think anyway !!!!
