Idea Two: Sheffield Sirens
I thought about this idea when I was woken in the night by ambulance sirens going off outside my window. It got me thinking about how loud sheffield can be, and sometimes how annoying that can be, especially in the morning - therefore I wanted to try interpret this into the idea of showing the space that is Sheffield whilst presenting a story of a student.
The story starts with a loud siren passing, and dialogue explains that the sirens keep me awake and are annoyingly loud and how this reflects on Sheffield as a whole. We use city ambience, (with traffic, conversations etc.) of busy streets in town and busy nightlife in clubs to show that Sheffield is always loud, night or day. Even though i'm a student, it's sometimes nice to get away to a quiet place, which allows us to change the tempo to a quieter area - the winter gardens, which is more calm and tranquil - which slowly fades to silence.
The sirens start again - it never ends. My friends ask them to come on a night out (background noise of conversations, people saying 'come out tonight, please?', and basically, I'm a student - of course I'm going to give in and go out.
So we're at the loud club, partying with friends having a good time. I accidentally bump into a man dancing, who gets aggressive about the situation (angry shouting in the background/overlapping the club ambience). We don't want any trouble, so we ignore him and try to get away. Apparently this was the wrong move and just makes the guy angrier and without warning, I get a bottle smashed on my head. (ambience stops, and the glass shattering is the only short).
Sirens fade in - aren't they annoying. This time it's my fault, i'm the one waking you up, annoying you when you're trying to sleep.
