Generating ideas for my short film

Character
'Kid who wants to complete his computer game'
Ace is a 12 year old boy who loves computer games. He plays before school and as soon as he comes home from school. He lives at home with his 20 year old brother as his school is nearer to his brothers work than his parents. He also has no friends at school as his social life consists of computer games and people he plays with online. He doesn't care about his image or what people think of him. His aim is to complete a video game but is always getting interfered by other things like homework, school, sleep, dinner and because of school he sometimes bunks off.
When he plays his games he gets very drawn into them and doesn't think of anything else, just completing this game. when he plays and does something wrong during the game this can make him upset and frustrated. He finds it easy to bunk off school because his brother is easy with him and wants him to be happy in life.



'Kid who completes his computer game and realises that there is nothing else to do'

Writing about my character that made me think that the meaning of the story should maybe be based on the basis of what does he do once he completes the computer game. This made me think that once he completes the game he is left with nothing else to do. This gave me an idea of the character going into a game shop and seeing a game on a shelf and thinking 'do I buy it?'and then looking outside the window and seeing kids playing with a football, then deciding to walk out the shop and choose to do the opposite of what he has done in the past with his life and not socialising. I feel this can give many opportunities in what to do with this film and a wide variety of ideas to be put in to it as of the one i have just explained about the kid choosing which way to go in life.

I was not that happy with this script as i wasent to sure on how to film it so i therefore will produce another script.
