Draft Storyline- Rendezvous | Beever Media

Rendezvous

Opening sequence begins with Mrs Scott's class learning about the sciences and the force of gravity, whilst she teaches the title sequence overlaps with character names, cast list and the films title being printed on post-it notes and school lanyards. 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 zips it open and takes 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; a boy who should have Harriet's note, and a boy who really shouldn't have Harriet's note.

Isaac gets home and opens his bag to take out the work that Luke had given him and put it into his work folder, as he takes the note out he notices the post-it note and reads it and grows excitable when he finds out its from Harriet. Forgetting about the work he leaps up and 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 and all Isaac can think about in his English class is his date with Harriet after college, Mrs Scott is teaching away Isaac just sits their daydreaming of how he'll sweep Harriet off of her feet. The bell rings, shoving everything into his bag and creasing every piece of paper he has Isaac charges to the door but his teacher 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. Knocking people out of the way (because to him nothing gets in the way of love) he charges down to the train station and into the ticket office, trying to catch his breath Isaac asks for a ticket to Penistone, the ticket officer hands him a ticket and to his surprise another post-it note on. The train arrives and Isaac busts through the crowd and hops 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 that she thinks he's dropped something, sure in himself that he hasn't dropped anything Isaac looks down but to his surprise their is a post-it note stuck to his shoe. He picks up the post-it note and it tells him to get off at the next stop, the train then comes to a stop and as the note tells him to do, 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, and the scene fades out.

Back at college and 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.

Unrestricted and Restricted Narration Research

Narration Narration is the act of telling a story as well as the flow of story information moment by moment over the course of a film. Unrestricted Narration (Omniscient) Unrestricted narration has no restrictions to every aspect of the film. It tells and shows the audience everything whilst the characters in the film remain oblivious to the narration. The viewer knows more than the characters. An example of an unrestricted narrative in a film is His Girl Friday by Howard Hawks (1940). The film shows different characters and scenes. The audience acquires more knowledge about the characters whilst the characters don't know much. The audience knows how Walter schemes to get Bruce in trouble but in the film Bruce is unaware of Walter's actions. Restricted Narration A restricted narration limits the amount of information that the audience receives. The audience will only receive information through the narration of a single character. This biases the audience towards on

Settings of a Romantic-Comedy | Amber Smales

Settings The location in which a Romantic-Comedy is filmed often depends who the film is aimed at. If the film is a teen rom-com then the typical locations are: High School University A party These films tend to be filmed in these specific locations as teens can often relate to the characters struggles as well as the types of characters in high schools. As this particular genre of film doesn't stray from reality the locations of teen rom-coms suit the genre. However, Romantic-Comedies that are aimed towards over 18 year old tend to be filmed in cities such as London, New York or Paris. Paris and New York are extremely common locations for rom-com films as they are seen as cities in which love blooms. These cities are extremely well known, fast faced and these locations allow the directors to show the daily life of a character as well as show the audience a more believable perspective of characters. Furthermore, these cities offer many opportunities which allows r
