FILM IDEAS FOR OUR ROMANTIC COMEDY:
- Two girls, two boys.
- One of
the girls and one of the boys have good careers to suit with the Romantic Comedy
theme and have always had a crush on each other.
- The other boy and the
other girls have bad jobs, don't have any qualifications and hate each
other.
- We believe the comedy aspect of our Romantic Comedy will come
through the major characters rather than the main characters as their hatred for
each other will create comedy for the audience.
- Holiday/weekend
away/hotel
- Meal/restaurant
- Nightclub
- Coffee shop
- The
characters new each other from school
- Train (difficulty to film?)
-
Costumes;
Ryan: Holiday dress?
Jack: Casual/dirty/unsophisticated

Girl 1: Casual sophisticated/Pretty
Girl 2: Revealing,

Casting
Jack Wilkes-Jones: Jack will play 'Jack' in our film, we have chosen Jack to
play our role as the character that we are aiming for has many similar
characteristics to Jack. We think that he has the ability to create comedy in
our Rom-Com. Jack will need to wear casual/scruffy clothes as his job is a
junior bin man.
Ryan O'leary: Ryan will play 'Ryan' in our film, we have chosen Ryan to play this role as the character that we are aiming towards has many similar characteristics and also we think Ryan has the ability to play this part. We think as well as creating some amount of comedy Ryan will be able to play a serious character in the aspect of Romance. He is also sophisticated and will suit our genre, Romantic Comedy. His costume will have to be something a bit higher in class, and not scruffy, e.g a shirt.
Jasmine Hammond: Jasmine will play one of the girls in our film, we have chosen Jasmine to play this role as she suits the character we are aiming towards. We believe she is able to be serious and play a romantic character and also has the ability to look sophisticated and talented. She has a good profession and will suit the genre, Romantic Comedy. Her costume will have to be something that doesn't expose too much skin and looks sophisticated. Casual wear etc...
Charlie Brookes: Charlie will play the major character, like Jack, the girls best friend, who hates Jack. We have chosen Charlie for this role because we think she will add to the comedy of our film and we think she will be able to act well and stay in character whilst filming. She won't have a good career, like Jack. Charlies costume will have to be something that exposes enough skin to bring out the character we are aiming for, for example, short skirt, low cut top.
Ryan O'leary: Ryan will play 'Ryan' in our film, we have chosen Ryan to play this role as the character that we are aiming towards has many similar characteristics and also we think Ryan has the ability to play this part. We think as well as creating some amount of comedy Ryan will be able to play a serious character in the aspect of Romance. He is also sophisticated and will suit our genre, Romantic Comedy.

Character models
This is Jack, he is 19 years old and he is male, his occupation is a junior bin man, which suits his scruffy appearance, he is our major character, he plays Ryan's best friend, he is a clingy eccentric and somewhat weird character who annoys Ryan almost everyday.
This is Ryan, he is 19 years old and he is male, he is a university student, studying law, this suits his sophisticated appearance, he aspires to have a good career in law, which Jack, his clingy best friend isn not making easy for him as he will not leave him alone.
Film Institute
There are three genres that we are primarily studying the thriller, the horror and the rom-com. I will be analysing the data on the U.K film institute website into the success of these genres.
Horror has the most number of releases in this country with 31 compared to thriller’s 20 and romantic’s 19. However just because horror has the most releases it does not mean it has made the most money at the box office, in fact the romantic genre has made the most at the box office with £58.4 million.
This is the main reason in us choosing our genre: Romantic-Comedy as combine the two favourite genres people like to watch and you get a lot of box office revenue.
Also with the facilities and budget we have, we feel that we will not be able to create a convincing horror and thriller due to the lack of special effects and goriness.
Film Ideas
For our opening sequence of a
film, my group chose to do the genre, Romantic
Comedy.
1. For our first idea we chose two boys, aiming to go on a holiday away by the sea, but one of the boys, jack, lost the money that he was supposed to use to take Ryan to the seaside, so when they were on the train ready to go and Ryan was in his beach wear, Jack broke it to him that they were going to Tamworth, in the middle of England, no where near the sea, when they arrive in Tamworth Ryan is very angry with Jack and goes to get changed, they bump into two girls they knew from school, Ryan has always had a crush on one of them, and Jack despises the other. They decide to go for a coffee and Jack (the idiot friend) says he knows somewhere nice, they end up in an old shabby coffee shop after passing many other nice ones such as costa and starbucks, the two people (Jack and one of the girls) that despise each other end up arguing and keep making nasty remarks at each other whereas Ryan doesn't want to leave the girl he has always truly loved.
Our second idea was still including the same characters as originally planned, we still kept Ryans clingy friend Jack but this time Ryan was trying several times to go on some sort of date with a girl he liked, although every time he failed due to his idiot friend. Jack always asked to come with Ryan and as many times as Ryan said no, Jack still managed to turn up in one way or another, such as, Ryan was on a meal with the girl, and Jack took their food off the waiter and served them instead. He popped up from several tables and annoyed Ryan's date to the point where she walked out and will never give him another chance unless Jack moves away.
Our third and final idea was still containing our original characters as we think they really suit the roles that we want them to play. This time we combined both ideas but added a few different ideas. This time we decided that the boys will get off a train for a night out, instead of a weekend away, and have an argument over clingy Jack forgetting his money. They bump into two girls from school and one of the girls Ryan has always had a crush on and she has always liked him, and the other one Jack has always hated and she also hates him. Ryan and his crush decide it would be good to join up and go out together, and understandably Jack and his enemy disagree. After completing all of this action we timed it and so far everything we want to include comes to two minutes.
