STARTING OVER

NEW GOALS:

I want to complete 2 films this semester, both shorts.

With those I want to enter into video contests and festivals.

What I'm going to do:
  • LOOK AT OTHER STUDENT FILMS
  • KNOW MY LIMITATIONS 
So, 1st Idea:

Lesbian Romantic Comedy

Elevator Pitch:

A lesbian, tired of being rejected because she's not a man, disguises herself in order to prove love goes beyond gender.

Theme:

The movie's theme or goal is there are no boundaries when falling in love with someone.

Synopsis:


ACT I

The insighting incident is our main character, Charlie, is at this gay club and all the girls she approaches turn out to be straight. We do this by showing Charlie's POV (Who we haven't been introduced to or seen yet) and we see girls turning her down in an escalating manner. The final thing is a drunk girl throws a drink in her face and we cut to her face, dripping. From there we go into a little narration and the actual story.

The next day Charlie meets a girl that she is incredibly interested in right off the bat. She also realizes that she might be straight, and decides a crazy obnoxious plan in order to win her heart. She tells her friends this and they, after some convincing, agree.

ACT II

There is a transofrmation process and their is a montage sequence of her getting her hair done, new clothes, learning to walk the walk by her straight male friends and others, etc,. She meets the girl again and realize they have a common hobby of running-they start talking and meet up multiple times, but her cover is nearly blown many times. Their relationship builds over time...

ACT III

Their relationship is reaching a climax when Charlie is about to to tell the girl her feelings (yet to be named), when it is revealed by some mishap that Charlie is actually a girl, when that happens there is a blow-up and all hope is lost for Charlie. Somehow they reconcile but I'm not sure right now.
