In this idea, I explore a basketball player named Shiloh who was once on track to go pro, but his confidence has been shaken after a public mistake that went viral online. During a big training session, we see him laughing with his teammates, but he’s secretly checking the rankings on his phone and feeling the weight of past failures. He’s insecure and distracted, and his performance suffers. When his friends ask what’s going on, he brushes it off, but it’s clear he’s hiding something.
Later, they bump into a rival player, Kermit, who mocks Shiloh and exposes a viral video of him missing the final shot in a previous championship game. The friends are shocked, and Shiloh finally opens up about being cyber bullied over that moment. He confesses how it ruined his self-esteem and made him feel like he didn’t belong. Despite the tension, his friends rally around him and challenge Kermit to a five-on-five game, showing their loyalty.
For sound, I’d use foley like phone typing, basketball bouncing, crowd ambience, and sudden silences to highlight Shiloh’s inner conflict. The viral video could be heard faintly playing in the background, distorted like a bad memory. Wild tracks of friendly banter would shift into tense silence or mocking laughter from Kermit. The score would begin upbeat and confident, but drop into emotional or suspenseful tones during Shiloh’s confession. A voiceover from the narrator would guide the audience through his past and his emotional state. The theme music could start with energetic drill or trap beats but fade into something reflective as the drama builds.
