Final Film Essai – Plot Proposal

 

Main Characters:

  • Character 1: He has two sides to him: on one hand he is the Popular Guy, Bit of a bully, Cocky or Boastful and on the other hand, in private or with his friend (Character 2) he can be caring, somewhat sensitive and protective.
  • Character 2: Shy, is often easily the target of ‘banter’ (bullying), doesn’t have a wide group of friends, is a bit of a geek –
  • Character 3: One of the mates of Character 1, ‘second in line’ in the group’s hierarchy. Jealous and vindictive and always does whatever Character 1 tells him to do. Has no real friends.
  • Character 4: Quiet, but has a quick temper, bit of a thug, he’s the ‘handyman’. sometimes comes to school late with a few bruises.

Plot Outline:

  1. Character 1 and his mates hanging out and fooling around until Character 1 heads off home – in a different direction to the others. 
  2. He then meets (it’s unclear whether this was pre-arranged) Character 2 (They take the same way home, have lived in the same, fair, neighbourhood for a long time) This could be the elevator scene or the ‘constrained space’. 
  3. New day, Character 2 encounters Character 1, this time with all his mates around – they all spot Character 2 and make to bully him, as is usual for them. Character 1 holds back. Character 2 runs off.
  4. Character 1 is challenged by Character 3 about why he was being friendly to Character 2. Character 1 storms off angrily.
  5. At the end of that day Character 1 is seen on his own on his way home until he reaches the lift (The return to the constrained space) where Character 2 can be seen approaching from a distance. Character 1 tries to explain himself. Character 2 tries to reject the apology, but it’s clear through his expression that he’s torn.
  6. A scene with no dialogue where Characters 1 and 2 are hanging out and clearly enjoying each other’s company.
  7. Finishes with the arrival of the other characters (everything left inconclusive)

Half-Time…

Hello there!

This post is here just to remind everybody of who is involved in the LNS Film Club and what our aim is this year.
This year our theme is Mis en scene which translated into English means “Scenery” After the half-term, we will be starting making our final film which will be sent to Paris. We have asked everybody to post photos of places of where we would like to film and suggestions of what we can do in the movie. Members are free to write anything they want to on the blog. We have watched films such as “The 400 blows”, “Edward Scissorhands” and clips from many other films to help us with the exercises we have been doing.
We are, as you have probably guessed from our short movies so far, we have been filming on the Southbank and in the BFI Southbank, but we are thinking of filming our movie all over central London and it’s attractions.
