Before we could start anything so advanced as story boards we needed a basic film concept we could work with and it needed to outline the whole film so that we would have the background infomation we needed for a successfull opening.
I already knew I'd be working with James Hoye who I have worked with before on numerous occasions and like to think I have a good working relationship with. So we both went away and came up with a film concept.
My Film Concept:
Friends for Life- A comedy drama. Martin is a twelve year old boy with a keen mind for science and sums but useless in any social context. Forcing himself to be content with his own solitude, Martin invents an imaginary friend, Peggy, to keep him company through his parents divorce. But Martinis one of the dullest boys in existance and everyone gets bored of trying to hold a conversation with him, even Peggy finds him insufferable and leaves him to find a more playfull friend leaving Martin to try and make friends instead with a goldfish. Peggy later persuades her new friend to kill the goldfish if Martin doesn't engage in a vulgar game of 'do-this-or-i-won't-be-your-friend-any-more,-or-in-other-words-I'll-kill-your-goldfish.'
James' Film Concept:
Lab Rats- Daniel Yang is a chinese scientist. When he does not return home from work one day his adopted english daughter Courtney sets out to trace his whereabouts. She goes on a journey of self discovery and witnesses horrors not known to mankind. Set in a rural town in Hertfordshire, the plot takes an even more unlikely twist.
Even though James' idea was more vague we both agreed it had more potential when figureing out an opening so we have decided to go with that and we're working on the finer details as we go to create a better summary.
