In a pair with Harry, our task was to create a story about two random characters that we were given. The characters are a minor celebrity and a university professor. I loved both tasks given yesterday as I got to have a bit of practice for my unit project and spend the entire day being creative.
Here's our work...
Title: Celebrity Behaviour (Comedy Short Film)
Character Names:
University Professor - Philip
- Formal
- Wealthy
- Intelligent
- Psychology Professor
Minor Celebrity – Jeremy
- Singer
- Thinks he's a big deal
- One hit wonder from years ago
- Still clinging onto fame
- Short of money
- Arrogant/pretentious
- Delusional
Main Location:
Posh Bar
The Story Idea:
Two school friends who haven’t seen each other for a while. They meet up once every year. Jeremy always lies he is too busy to meet as he has so much going on. Philip treats Jeremy like a psychological study looking at how fame can ruin you. Jeremy thinks Philip just wants to meet with a “famous” friend. This film will feature comical cut scenes to reveal their true life. For example, when Jeremy says he couldn't meet as he just had so much going on in his life it will cut to him sitting in his underwear eating a microwave meal and watching cartoons at home.
Opening scene:
Philip is waiting in a bar with a pint of beer for himself and a Martini for Jeremy. Jeremy struts thinking everyone recognises him and is admiring him. He joins Philip at the table and they begin to tell each other about their year.
Opening line of Dialogue:
INT. Posh Bar, Philip is sitting at a table with drinks waiting for Jeremy.
Jeremy walks through the main doors into the building and starts approaching random people.
Jeremy: “Don’t everyone rush at once, calm down its just me, please no pictures”
