Our First Film Ideas

Basically this is just a kind of update about what we think were going to do for our final film. The basic idea is that we have is to do a hybrid, but we don't know how quite to describe it. So we are calling it an emotional Rom-com. We took inspiration from Venus- with Peter O'Toole and Educating Rita- with Michael Caine and Julie Walters

The plot for our first two minutes goes as follows; A young girl bumps into an older man (stereotyped) outside a museum, as she moves past he catches her wrist and the audience sees she has stolen his wallet. He tells her he will call the police ect. She offers him EVERYTHING for him not to but does so subtly. He declines slightly taken aback, and instead says he wont if he can teach her a lesson himself. He then takes her into the museum where he shows her various exhibits and explains all of them,( we thought this scene would be from one angle and sped up and slow at two separate moments once when he shows her shrunken heads that were in the harry potter film, that she says she hasn't seen. and also when she says she hates bees and he explains the infinity equation to her) during this you see the girl get more excited and enthusiastic. Showing her a thriving from the attention that is evidently so rare. They then leave and go their separate ways with her thanking him. however after only walking a short while she turns back as she found his wallet in her pocket as she never gave it back (signifier of forgetfulness). Upon returning it to him he is with a carer who explains he has been looking for him and he doesn't know who she (the girl) is. This confuses her and she leaves upset. However upon holding his wallet he also hears a bee. And turns to her and shouts to her 'next week geography bee.' where she smiles and runs off he watches her go.


Yeah so basically that's it! Please leave a comment if you have any questions or suggestions for us! Or anything you just want to say............
