From a suspense to a drama


Our third attempt at making a script did not go well. We found out that our other class fellows are doing suspense films as well and were afraid that all our projects might turn out too similar which we want to avoid. So now we are left with Drama or Comedy as genres. Today we came up with another idea where we can show comedy and drama. We can show the morning routine of a person who wakes up late and leaves his house. On the right is what we planned.

We will show a person who is woken up by either an alarm or by a phone call. For a comedy and drama we can show him dressing up hastily as if he is late for an appointment and we can emphasize on his apparent distress and his life going through a complicated phase by emphasizing on his messy house. He is also unable to locate his toiletries and other things he needs in order to get ready and they turn up in unlikely places which shows that he is in a habit of waking up late and is very disorganized and messy. 

Above are the possible list of names we have come up with. The movie we want to make is a lighthearted comedy. By showing an ordinary routine and using a random but a very unexpected name, we want to define the character yet work up some anticipation in the audience. The list of characters, storyboard, treatment is yet to come as now we have to make sure that there are no flaws or any issues that might force us to abandon yet another project.
