Idea Revised

After talking with my teachers I have come up with a clearer idea.
I had originally had the idea of the grandfather reading through the photo album and the viewer seeing that the little girl had a problem with her eyes. Jack mentioned that if I was to do it that way the little girl would need to look normal in the pictures because it would be the old mans point of view. I thought about that and this is what I have come up with.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A little girl is sitting in her room looking at a photo album.
She brushes her hair from the side of her face, which shows her deformed eye; one is drastically smaller than the other eye.

She opens the photo album.
The pictures are of her, starting from when she was born.
Each photo moves – showing how she has always been an outcast due to her deformity.
Each photo ends with a flash, the next photo begins playing.

There is a knock at her door.
An old man comes in, her grandfather.
She turns around; there are tears in her eyes.

Her grandfather sits down.
She climbs onto his lap.

He begins to brush the hair from her eye.
Showing the old man we can see that he has something wrong with his eye too; there is something lodged in his head, its glass.
POV He finishes brushing the hair from her eye but she looks normal, both her eyes are the same size.
He says “You have always looked beautiful to me.”

Idea

Premise
A young girl and her grandfather, and how they are bought together due to their differences.

Synopsis
Looking through a photo album an old man looks through the life of his granddaughter. Though she has a physical deformity an accident the old man had years earlier makes him see her as though there is nothing wrong with her, she is beautiful to him.

Treatment/Basic shot list

• Each of the photos move and are different parts of a little girls life.

A car arrives at the house - seen through the window.

A little girl comes in the room with tears in her eyes and hugs the old man.
