Final Concept
Starbucks coffee house with a cup of coffee being placed on the counter, this will then be proceeded by quick flashes of various other ways that coffee can be made which will then end in a white flash with the main character called John sitting at his desk at work, his manager will come up to him and will discuss with John about how his general work around the office is slipping and that he has noticed that he continues to nod off during the working day and lastly mentions the increasing amount of coffee that he is drinking and recommends that he takes a break from work to sort his life out. On the bus ride home John sits quietly with a different cup of coffee in his hands, as the journey continues he begins to drift off with a close-up shot of him when this happens. He then awakens suddenly in a forest with ripped clothes (if possible) and blood on his shirt John then says "oh shit" and the footage will then finish with a blackout.
