Final idea for storyboard / synopsis

We have chosen to do the romantic comedy aimed at a teen audience as our ideas and group dynamic suited this style of film. After looking through all of our ideas we chose to combine two and storyboard the idea below.

We didn't choose to use ideas 2 and 3 due to the location of the setting. We don't have an apartment or a house that all members of the group can assemble at. Instead of using these ideas we chose to combine parts of both idea 1 and idea 4. As well as ideas 2 and 3, we had the problem of location with idea 4 too but we thought the plot of this idea was funnier and therefore may be more suitable to the genre than idea 1, so we fused the two ideas together.

Idea 5.
It opens with a shot of a door with a detention sign on it. The door then opens and the room inside can bee seen, the camera is mounted upon a dolly and it enters the room. Whilst in the room it pans and tracks over desks, on the desks are peoples names and other pieces of information that are included in the titles of an opening sequence from a film. The camera eventually settles with a high angle shot inside of the room over a boy asleep on an open textbook. He wakes up, sits up and has a piece of paper stuck to his face.

The shot then cuts to the side with a shot of him with the paper still stuck to his face and peels it off from top to bottom and puts the paper on the desk in front of him. The piece of paper has a girls name repeatedly written on it. The following shot cuts to a side on shot of his face,and the girls name is written back to front on his face. A bell rings and he begins to pack up. The next shot cuts to the outside, the door opens and he walks out and sighs.

Still standing in the doorway, a girl comes up behind him, taps him on the shoulder and says 'excuse me'. He goes to hold the door for her, misses the handle and falls out of the shot. He stands up again and holds the door and she walks past, staring at his face and giggles. Last shot is of him leaning on the door, putting his head up against the door, sighs and says 'smoooooth'.


We think this is suitable because the location, actors and props are all available for our use and the conventions of the genre are present in the sequence.
