2. The genre is predominantly romance combined with an element of comedy
due to the spontaneous scene of the male actor running hilariously, whilst
holding a bunch of worn out flowers trying to catch his date. This scene will
also consist of animation to emphasise the comedy element to it.

3. The synopsis of our narrative is about a boy and girl always seeing each other
at bus stop on a Wednesday. They both seem to grow fond of each other and
one day the boy plucks up the courage to ask the girl if she would like to go out
on a date (this is done via a notepad) and she replies on her notepad “Yes”. The
girl waits at their normal greeting spot but she is stood up by the boy; however it
is not his fault as he took his time getting ready/ or fell asleep unaware of time.
He picked up flowers on the way, in order to apologise to his date; but when he
arrives the petals all disappear. Yet, during the scene of the boy who is rushing
to get to his date, the girl gets bored waiting, she then realises another boy
gazing at her, and he gives her the 'eye' - the implied meaning of him wanting to
get to know her. The girl being so desperate and stood-up by her last date, she
decides to get some „boy therapy‟ and rushes off with the other fellow. The next
following Wednesday, when the boy whom she was supposedly, suppose to go
out on a date with, sees her; yet with another man. (Animations are used when
he is upset.) Short film ends here.

4. The film which inspired me the most was Ben and Jackie as it has romance combined
with comedy as Ben being rejected by Jackie. However our idea is quite distinctive as
contains an comedy twist to it of the boy reflecting on his past and what happened the
night he stood up the girl. In addition, our film will include animation in some scenes to
make our ideas entertaining and surreal which will capture our audience to be keen to
find out more on our film.

5. Our short film will mainly target the younger generation of teenagers from
fifteen to twenty-three as it consists of both romance and comedy intertwining.
Although, teenage girls will engage the most as of the romantic elements in
the film; yet, both genders will engage with the entertainment of comedy. Also,
families maybe attracted to our short film as it will be seen as a „striking rom-
com‟ of love being limited.

6. The length of the film will be 5 minutes maximum,
however we are still uncertain on how much of filming will
be on the flashbacks of when the male actor gets into
trouble.

7. In terms of logistics there will be various equipment and materials that we shall we be using. For
example: camera, costume and props for actors, small equipment such as writing boards for the
actors to exchange messages across to each other from opposite ends of the bus stops and
mobile phones etc. In terms of feasibility, there will be a small cost for the minor equipment;
although, this is more than affordable, also actors may ask for a fee but we are determined to
compromise. The location will mostly be shot at a bus stop as this is where they originally meet
and parts of London (scene of boy running).

8. We have no swearing or violent scenes within our short film. Our film is
predominantly stereotyping how women are capable of cheating on men too,
rather than the opposite way round. However, we have no act of discrimination
towards women but the moral of the short film is how women are emotionally
weak and give into temptation by the attractions of the opposite sex and how
love is limited!

9. Our main distribution channel will be YouTube as this will target our
audience and enable them to access our short film easily. Also
YouTube is a successful distributing channel and has won many
directors and artist awareness in gaining a customer market base.
