My Coursework

In a group of three, we are going to produce the opening two minutes of a romantic comedy. This will be aimed at young adult’s (15-20), this due to the fact that they will be able to relate to the plot more than other age groups and will understand the jokes involved whereas a higher age group may not. We have decided to stick to the overall traditional romantic comedy and our plot is based around a teenage girl Caitlin who finds her best-friend, Courtney, and boy-friend, Carl, together in bed. She leaves them and on an endless search to find love she eventually finds it in her best friend, Matt. Caitlin is a florist and at the same time as love is on the horizon she is asked to produce flowers for a wedding; she does this, only to find out that it is Courtney and Carl's wedding she is doing the flowers for. Caitlin has an accident at the wedding where she falls into Carl, at which he tells her that he never stopped loving her and so what happens when Caitlin is faced with the question of whether to go back to Matt or retrieve her old love form Carl…what does she do?...
We have set it in a modern time period so the actors will need to wear fashionable and suitable clothing. We will also have to make sure many technical features are in our film to also represent this. The overall Mise-en-scene of our piece will be the house's in which our characters live in, the work place (the florist) and the night life of the town (clubs/bars).
