Character In Time


This man looks like he has fun, no? His room is somewhat creative, I bet his friends help add to his pile of entropy. The person you see here is very naive, although he is eager to try out new things he is very stupid and is poor in making the right decisions.
Brad (our character in the picture) is very keen on impressing people and wanting attention from them. Brad is able to do this through the internet and by posting pictures of himself online he knows for a fact that people are seeing him every day. As you can imagine this could put a dent in your study time. On top of going to work every day to be able to pay for college Brad is somewhat of an idiot meaning he spends extra time at the books than others normally would.

Treatment:

During the 21st century anything is possible with todays modern technology and today Brad has moved into his new college dorm at University of California Santa Barbara. As an eager freshman he wants to be able to impress his teachers and upper class man.

It is the first day of school and he has already been able to get a gig with the UCSB paper. He was formally invited by the seniors (by chance) to come and take funny random pictures for a column in the paper.

During his interview with the seniors to see if he was capable for the job he was speculating to much about the fact of how he is going to create interesting pictures for a paper.
(Camera is slowly moving in on his face while you hear an interior monologue.)

While going on facebook he realizes that with the camera next to him and several different props in his room he could with no problem do his duty and justice to the paper he was apart of.

A montage of pictures of him in different assortments and mixtures of props are made and just as he is about to look at the pictures he made he realizes that one of his pictures is similar to a picture of his grand-dad.
(When he notices the picture the camera will slow motion while he is turning his head or eyes opening in shock.)

His grand dad was a soldier that had to fight in the middle of toxic gases during the war. His dad aproaches behind him and tells him: "I only wish it were that happy when MY dad described his experience to me."
(War clip with gas masks to show a flashback from the grandpa's story.)

Feeling ashamed Brad decides to delete his pictures and goes up to the seniors and tells them that he isnt up to the task anymore. 

Although the seniors are pissed, Brad does not give into peer pressure and walks away while war noises are ringing in his head from a war movie he had seen.
