Synopsis: The bell to signal the end of class rings and the students get ready to go home, whilst everyone is grabbing their bags to head for the bus Harriet goes over to her bag and another boy's, Luke's, bag and puts a post-it note in his bag with a note on it with her number and asking him on a date. She zips the bags up and walks off to her bus smiling at her chance to find love and leaves the note to do its work. Luke goes over to his bag to take out a sheet of work and puts the paper into his friend Isaac's bag and then zips it up. Unknown to everyone, on the piece of work was Harriet's note for Luke which is now in Isaac's bag; a boy who has had a crush on Harriet since High School. Isaac comes over to pick up his bag and the two boys walk down to the bus. Isaac gets home and opens his bag and notices the post-it note and reads it and grows excitable when he finds out its from Harriet. He then starts picking out clothes for his 'date' tomorrow and preps himself in front of the mirror so that he can come across smooth and cool. The next day dawns, after lesson Mrs Scott brings him back to talk about his homework, she hands him his marked homework back and on it is another post-it note telling him to go down to the bottom floor, Isaac thinks his truelove is waiting for him there and without hesitation slides, sprints and jumps down to the bottom floor of college only to find another post-it note with another set of instructions telling him to go to the train station and get a ticket to Penistone. Arriving at the train station Isaac buys a ticket that has another post-it note on it. On the train, ignoring his surroundings Isaac daydreams about how the date is going to go, in mid-daydream a lady taps on his shoulder to let him know he's dropped something, sure in himself that he hasn't dropped anything Isaac looks down but to his surprise there is a post-it note stuck to his shoe telling him to get off at the next stop. Isaac gets off the train and sees another post-it note stuck on the Penistone sign, he picks it off and it tells him to meet her by the park. A graphic match cuts from the train station to the park and Isaac goes up towards Harriet. As Isaac and Harriet get closer to each other their expressions begin to contrast even more. Isaac begins talking to Harriet but she tries to calm him down and break it to him that she's not waiting for him. When Harriet can finally get a word in age ways she tells him that the note was meant for Luke and not him. A flashback then follows off how the mix up played out. After the flashback played it cuts back to Harriet sat apologising to Isaac and asking if they could still be friends. Back at college the next day, Isaac is sat in his class mourning over his broken heart and failed date, Luke then walks in and asks him how the date went but Isaac quickly shows how he is lamenting and that he'd rather not talk about the date. Trying to cheer up his friend Luke brings up the topic that he'd got a note asking him on a date...a note from Harriet- who it was originally for. THE END. 

Suggested Elements:  

Real locations will allow a sense of realism within the film to engage and entice our target audience and create a connection between our audience and the characters within Rendezvous.  

Flashbacks will be a key element within the film as it will demonstrate to the audience that the notes that Harriet had been writing was in fact given to the wrong lad allowing a comedic twist in the film and a sense of heartbreak.
