Planning : Storyline / Ideas 'The Thrill Of 30 Seconds'

The plot to our film features around time, and how important time is in life. We will use the classic common conventions we have seen through our research of rom-coms but we also wanted to break the classic mould that this type of genre genrally seems to fall in, to put a bit of a tiwst in our product that would set it apart from others. We chose time as our main feature to focus around because it has a massive impact in our life and can be the difference from success and failure. Our main character will be Anders, and he will soon realise how important time is to him over the course of the film and a gift he will realise he has, which we will try to show in our teaser trailer.

Anders is our 'Protaganist' character and throughout his life he seems to have always had the bad luck, nothing ever seems to go to plan for Anders. 'The Thrill Of 30 Seconds' will be about Anders finally getting that bit of luck he deserves and getting a chance with a girl that would normally seem out of his league, unreachable, so here the characters involved Anders and the female are our polar opposites. The female character will be Holly, and with Anders not having a good past record with girls, Holly is a girl who is willing to give Anders a chance when others wouldnt, so when they plan to finally meet, Holly gives Anders one condition he has to be there within 30 seconds. Here the story unfolds as Anders is faced with a common convention of rom-coms, a problem, a situation where something has to be fixed or overcome, Anders has numerous obsticles to overcome on his way that is preventing him from meeting Holly, this is when he realises his gift for time, relating to his watch which we try to use as the main attraction to our brand, this 'special' watch should capture the audiences attention and interest.
