We decided to
call our film Love Triangle made by our company Centre Stage Productions. As a
group we’re hoping to create romantic comedy film about two girls named Ellie
and Jessica who fall in love with the same man called Connor. As the story unfolds
we (as the audience) realise the two
girls fall in love with the same man and are best friends who have advised each
other with advice on the same man. The twist however is that the two friends
don’t realise they like the same man.
Through going on
dates, talking in work, conversations on the phone they reassure eachother that
theres not another girl on the scene and that he does like her, without either
of the girls knowing it’s the same man. We decided to base our film on two
rom-coms; In her shoes & something borrowed. Our production company plans
to have a montage in order to achieve the desired passing time effect as an
opening sequence.
Becky.
In our opening scene we have various close up shots of
things happening to show that the girls are getting ready. For example, shots
of brushing teeth, doing hair & waking up. The shots will alternate between
girls to show them both getting ready and to introduce to us that they’re both
main characters. Over our opening sequence montage, we will have a song called
Lenka- The Show. We chose this song because it’s a happy one and quite
cheerful. Also the lyrics in it are about being lost in love and are
appropriate. Also, it sets the scene for the rest of the film and makes the
opening montage less awkward, Later on
in the sequence we will have the two girls on the phone to each other talking
about their weekend and how Ellie met a guy Christmas shopping. Jessica then
gives Ellie advice on the situation. Jessica reaches work and finishes the
conversation with ‘im here now, I’ve got something to tell you’. We then have a
shot of the lift doors closing on her and this makes the music cut out. This is
the end of our opening sequence.
Connor.
The reason we chose to do a montage because Becky’s research
on Romantic Comedy films showed that various films had a montage at the
beginning. For example, the devil wears Prada, Just Married, Love Actually. We
decided to do a montage because thought it would be a good way to introduce our
two main characters and to show that they both have a similar aim i.e to get to
work. This is how we know the two characters share something similar in life. We
feel that this opening sequence will represent our chosen genre of rom-coms as
it features two girls/women trying to win a man with many obstacles along the
way. However, we did choose to change a convention; and we done this by making
the two main characters two girls rather than a man and woman. This gives the
typical romance story a twist as the main relationship is a friendship rather
than a romance. However, it is still a romantic comedy as the main plot is that
these two girls are both trying to chase one guy.

Within our team we haven’t decided on specific roles just
yet but we have a rough idea. Connor’s skills are editing and he has a steady
hand when it comes to filming so we think Connor will be good at this. Becky is
good at deciding what actually happens on screen and assembling the rush cuts
before editing, so she will be given this role. I am quite good at editing and
picking out little things that need to be changed so after Becky and Connor I
will take over the editing to finish it all off.

We decided our target audience will be females aged 15+. Of
course certain conventions of this film will appeal to men, most of it follows
the lives of two women and men may find it a little boring. We’re happy to take
any questions.
