The Last of Us Part 2 "PTSD" Sequence Pitch (*Mature Content*)

Early on in the stages of the narrative getting figured out, there was always going to be the "home" section of the game. I instantly wanted to inject some aspect of Andrew Wyeth into this portion. This sequence was exploring an idea of Ellie coming home, hearing crows from a distance as she nears the house. Upon entering she would make her way upstairs to find a dead and mutilated Joel. This sequence evolved many times over throughout production, but I enjoyed getting to take an early stab at showing how something like this could play out in our universe while not being too over the top or hallucinatory.
