So yesterday evening Michael and I video chatted and discussed the formulated plot in its entirety. While we did so, Michael typed an outline down on his computer so we had something tangible to work with in class and when filming. We also began brainstorming a title, but without further - a - do, here is our (rough) outline to our short film.
Title: * Disconnected *
Scene 1: *At school*
Main character and friend notice pretty girl in hall
Dialogue between main character and friend
School bell rings and they disperse
Scene 2: *In City*
Walking home talking with friend about how main character wants to ask out girl
Dialogue between friend and main character
Scene 3: *Bedroom*
Both walk in
Main character lays on bed and friend lays on couch
Girl text message pops up on screen
Guy freaks out and friend jumps on bed
Scene 4: * Bedroom*
Main character texts girl back and starts conversation
Friend helps main character text girl
Conversation continues until guy asks out girl and she says yes
Main character texts girl back and starts conversation
Friend helps main character text girl
Conversation continues until guy asks out girl and she says yes
Scene 5: * Bedroom*
Main character starts getting ready for date
Puts on a suit
Sits on bed and puts on virtual headset
Scene 6 - Date: *Vista View Park*
Montage of happy date
No audio of them talking
Just moving mouth and music in background
*Date ends*
Scene 7- *Bedroom*
Takes off goggles and smiles
Scene 8- *In city
Main character is walking on the sidewalk on his phone
Female main character is also walking on the sidewalk on her phone
Both walk passed one another and don't notice each other
*Scene ends*
We still have some refining to do towards the very end of the outline, since we are not very sure if
our message is delivered clearly. We want to highlight the everlasting disconnect created by this
technologically advanced world, and by showing the two characters stroll past each other without
noticing as if they were strangers really just emphasizes the disconnect from reality.
Thanks guys!
