Character A to B development


I have this idea of shooting two characters, again one female and one male. I like the dynamics between one female and one male better as opposed to a coalition of characters of the same sex. I have a pretty simple idea for a story line. It’s basic in the way that it’s a typical problem that happens frequently to people our age. I feel like this is a common scenario and will be easy to find in terms of shooting. It’s a Friday or Saturday night. The two characters, lets call them boy and girl, have just received news of this huge party that is going on later in the night. I want to have boy and girl go through a variety of obstacles before they finally reach the party in the end. I have in mind that I want the resolution of the party scene to look like what is shown in the snapshot above. I want to film a car from a cropped angle and have a bunch of people filter in and out of it so that it seems like there are a million people getting out of this one little bitty car. When I think party I think lights, drinks, cell phones out, hipster clothing, lots of drinking, etc. I want to capture this on film so the setting seems appropriate. I think the obstacles the two characters will encounter can be fairly basic. The girl wakes up Saturday morning and spends all day trying to find the right outfit, informing her friends to attend. The boy wakes up and finds out he has no money. He spends all day mowing the yard and making coffee at a local cafe to earn money. Then he spends the rest of the evening finding and buying alcohol, whatever, something like that etc. The end everyone toasts and has a ball. Its will be a good night.
