Revised Scripts R4

IDENTITY
Mon is surfing the internet for job openings.
Mons sighs deeply when he can't find jobs to meet his needs. Then he receives an email from the bank.
An envelope pops up on the screen. The logo on the envelope looks a tiny bit different but Mon does not even catch it and without hesitating he opens the mail by clicking on the envelope icon.
When he clicks, the envelope pops open with comments such as 'It looks like you are short of money' 'Well, we can help!' And then a hand comes out of the screen.
Desperate for some help, Mon grabs the hand and is drawn into the screen.
He enters a peaceful forest and a friendly looking being (A being dressed in white Nigerian traditional clothing: Nigerian Prince Scam) appears.
The "Nigerian Prince" at first politely asks Mon personal questions.
But as Mon gives more and more answers the forest gets darker and creepier. Pop up windows with suspicious ads peek through the trees and electronic hands from the pop up windows try to grab Mon saying things like "Hey Mon, tell me a little about yourself too!"
The being also become aggressive when Mon hesitates to answer and make attempts to escape.
Now the prince is wearing a black Nigerian clothing and laughing at Mon. In the being's hands are Mon's credit cards. As the prince laughs his face morphs into Mon's.
Mon is now running to escape the forest and at far he sees a red lit up box with a white 'X'.

Mon runs and presses the red box and is spat out back into his room from a pop up screen.
Mon is breathing hard still frightened.
Then the message appears "Just click out of it! Don't let them take you. Protect your identity."



FAMILY & FRIENDS

For the following scenes, everything is in color but Mon is seen in black and white-

Mon comes home and as he walks in his mother asks him questions like 'did you eat?' and Mon not answering or listening to a single one, walks away with his fingers plunged into his ears and his mother sighs.
His dog follows him to his room with a toy and Mon's little brother talks to him 'Hey Mon guess what happened at school today?' but Mon shuts the door on them. The dog drops his toy and walks away and his brother sighs at the door.
Mon falls to his bed sighing. The room is dark and the only thing we see is Mon sitting on an old bed.
A letter slips under his door. Mon opens it and it's an 'Outstanding Employee' certificate.
The moment he sees the letter, Mon brightens up and is saturated to full color. 
Mon opens his door and happily waves it in the air to show his family. He looks at his brother and his dog but they are in black and white and don't even bat an eye on him. Mon looks at his mom in the kitchen and waves the letter at her. She looks at him for a second and without any reaction goes back to her activity, she is also desaturated to black and white.
The message appears "Be there for them and they will always be there for you. Protect your family and friends."

NATURE & ENVIRONMENT
Mon buys a bottle of orange juice at a newspaper stand on the street. He drinks it all right after he buys it and tosses it in the recycling bin but he misses.
He stares for a second and walks away with a careless face. 
Mon is at a subway station. He has a roll of newspaper in his hand and in front of him is a trashcan and just a few steps away is a recycling bin. He stops for a second before he dumps the read newspaper in to the trashcan and looks at the recycling bin. The location of the recycling bin, which is only a few steps away from where Mon is standing, all of a sudden (as if a camera zooming out) looks like a mile away. 
Mon just drops the newspaper roll into the trashcan and makes a 'who cares' face and gesture. 
Now we see cuts of Mon's 'who cares' face and various trash being tossed into trash cans back and forth (face-trash-face-trash-face…).
All of a sudden we see trash pouring on Mon's careless face. 
We from a back view, Mon's head sticking out from a pile of trash in front of his opened apartment door. We see Mon's face again and this time his expression has changed to a surprised one. 
The message appears "Dump your trash right then you will get them back the right way. Protect your environment."
