Plot Synopsis 5 min film

either
1- family talking about the horrific event
2- as is you where there
3- flash backs
If i was to take this story from the current news and turn it into a short 5min film,
i would do this by the film being a monologue from an actor playing Richard Hammond,
and when in certain areas of the house he would have flash backs from the robbery.

 intro- The actor playing Richard Hammond sitting by himself in an empty room of the
villa that was broken into. a chair in the middle of the room
clips from behind him. close ups to his face with his eyes just staring into the
distance.

 *footsteps* - creaking floor boards

 His head quickly moves, close up to his eyes - pupils getting bigger.

 Then his monologue about the attack starts - "it all happened so fast... the sound of
movement, commotion, fear."

 slow movement to standing up

 long pauses after each sentence.

 *touches a lamp on a near chest of draws*
>flash back< to him laying on the Livingroom floor, ears ringing, looking at the
lamp on the draws.
"all i remember is the silence. The fear of what had just happened, where i was?
My wife? My children?"
*heartbeat sound getting loader*

 -standing up, looking at himself on the floor

 *glimpse of someone moving past the window from behind - quick movement to look
-hear someone trying to get into the door
-long pauses, heart beat sound, close up of his fear (eyes/sweat/anxious)

>flash back< his laying on the ground hearing the door noises, the police find him
on the floor.
