Film Ideas

Idea 1

Characters: Abbie. Josh. Extras

Abbie and Josh are a typical, young couple both at the age of 18, who are very much inlove and have been together for over two years. They are the very popular, friendly type of people that everyone loves and all of their friends love the relationships that Abbie and Josh share. I will show small snippets of their relationship so the audience can gain a good idea of the very strong, committed relationship that they have. However, a very rare occasion crops on when the couple have a very big argument, causing them to not talk to eachother for weeks. Josh eventually goes over to Abbies house to try and recolve the situation, but they end up arguing again and Josh storms out of the house, but is soon followed by Abbie. They get into Josh's car and as they are driving they are still arguing; makes Josh loose concentration and they crash. This causes very serious injuries to both Abbie and Josh, which leads to the death of the couple. However, to stop my short film from being too sad, I want to make the main focus of the film to be on Josh and Abbie in heaven. You see them happily in heaven together, they talk about how different heaven is to hoe they thought it would be etc. I won't have any relation of Abbie and Josh shown after the crash as this would create a lot of sad emotion and this is not something i want puruse in my film.
I want to have a voice over of Abbie through my film as I think this would add a more personal feeling to it, but i also think it would take away the sadness from the film as she can be casually talking about it and it won't be a sad subject for her. I haven't yet decided on whether i want to add comedy into my film or to keep it as a drama, this is something I will ask in my focus group.
I would really enjoy portraying heaven, and I think i could show this easily, although my idea my sound complex I think it is also doable. I believe that my idea is quite unique, because although there is death in my film it isn’t going to be sad. There are also films of one half of a partnership in heaven looking over the other half, however there are no films that include a couple in heaven together and I think this could be a nice story, because I can also give an idea that there is always life after death and I can make it a light hearted subject.

Characters: Rhys
Holly and Holly’s friends
Tara and her friend
Rhys, Holly and Tara all go to the same school and like all schools there is a very popular group; Holly and Rhys are part of the popular crowd at school and all of their friends think that they should be a couple. Holly is the stereo typical, snobby girl who thinks that she is better than everyone and she knows that she is the prettiest girl in the school, whereas Rhys is very down to earth, and although is part of the popular group he is the most friendly boy in the year who everyone loves. Tara is more of a quiet character who is part of the less popular group that keep themselves to themselves, she has known Rhys since she was a young girl at first school and they live opposite each other so they always end up walking the same way home so they talk to each other. Tara eventually realizes that she has developed some strong feelings towards Rhys but because of Holly, she feels that she can’t act on it, but every time Rhys speaks to Tara on the internet she feels that she still has hope to be with him.
