Possible Ideas (Story/Plot)

Teenage Romantic Comedy

Idea 1. -Ollie (storyboard present)
Set in a classroom. Two characters: male and female. Voice of teacher in background. Female character sitting at desk in classroom doodling about a boy she likes. She looks at the boy and smiles and he smiles back. Sound of a bell ringing, everyone packs up and boy quickly walks out. Girl tries to catch up but falls over. She turns over while laying on the floor and looks directly into the camera. Then a monologue voice over begins, this is supposed be representative of her feelings and a representation of what she is thinking about.

Idea 2. -Beth
Set in two different bedrooms (a boys and a girls). Two characters again: male and female. First shot of girl turning of an alarm clock. second shot of boy turning off an alarm clock. Alternates between girls actions and boys actions following them getting ready for a day at school. Towards the end of the opening both characters come out of their houses at slightly different times and just miss seeing each other. Hints towards them meeting each other at some point within the film.

Idea 3. -Vince (storyboard present)
Set in a rural suburb. Three university male students who are friends move into a new apartment. Two of the trio have already been dumped by their girlfriends with the exception of the remaining one who is moving in with his partner. As the two bachelors sulk, the last of the trio gets dumped immediately right after he was done fantasising (voice over). The three friends walk out of their apartment with bleak expressions as the last of trio's girlfriend walks off. This leaves the boy's thinking about how they can pick themselves up when they all simultaneously lost their long-term relationship.

Idea 4. -Ollie
Based on a boys perspective, in this rather than the girl being the geeky unsuccessful in love person, this character is exchanged with a male character of about 16/17 years of age. The scene opens with the boy in his bedroom, he then see's a girl in the street and attempts to look 'cool' by leaning against a wall, he misses the wall and falls over. The girl walks past laughing and then the titles appear.
