Idea- synopsis

Parents are arguing in another room, while the male protagonist is in the kitchen, so he hears the argument about his fathers job loss due to the recession. The character isn't phased by the argument or the job loss, and silently sips a beer/ alcoholic drink. The movement is slow, and very unresponsive. This will be a mid shot, of the character, who'll be sitting at the kitchen table. By him overhearing the conversation/ argument, rather than being told himself, this will emphasise his isolation from his family.

From there it will cut to the protagonist who's at a crowded house party, his vision is skewed, to emphasise his intoxication. The camera is facing him, and wobbles, the same time he does. He wanders around the house, and eventually passes out. This is where it fades to black, to indicate him passing out.

After around 15 seconds, he wakes up, hungover and cranky, surrounded by other drunken people, who he doesnt know. There is then a close up of the character lying down, and in the process of gettin up. He gets up, and then sits up. This shot is slow, and silent. From there, there'll be a close up of him, to show the puzzlement in his face.

We then see the front door of the house from the outside. A few seconds later, the protagonist leaves the house and shits the door behind him. We don't see his face at this point. He then walks down the path of the house and onto the street path. After a few seconds of walking, he pelts it down the road. This shot will be frozen, and held. Then the title, and extra titles will show.

For the rest of the film we see our protagonist deteriorate more, as the situation with family gets worse. He then gets involved in drugs, and from there its a downward spiral.
After the party, they meet a member of the opposite sex, who recognises him from that night, she/ he gets the protagonist into drugs, and involves him/her into a new group of people, who are bad influences.
