After a meeting yesterday, with me, Dan and Ed we decided that our new idea might not fit the brief as good as it could do with regards to a journey and it was hard for Dan to envisage how it would work and be a good quality 5 minute piece, we discussed many others ideas that evening but nothing was standing out to any of us, every idea we had just either didn’t fit the brief enough or would be hard to plan and execute within the amount of time we have left. Today I wanted to get everyone together as more heads are better for thinking of ideas, over night I had thought of an idea and written a rough script and so had Alex. The only people had with my idea was it was very script heavy and it would be hard for someone to learn it in such a short period of time and also find a good enough actor to carry it off as well. Alex’s idea was based on some Doughnut story apparently but he had changed it to a muffin, after we all read his rough script we decided it was a good idea as it was simple but could be interesting if done well. We thought of locations that we already have on offer to us and because of that we changed the story to fit round a pub setting which we already have permission for. Since Dan is going to play the lead role in it he has suggested writing a more final script so he knows what he’s got to say and then he’s going to send it to me later so I can make any adjustments or suggestions.
The story is basically about a man thinking that another guy is eating something that he ordered at the pub but turns out in the end he got his wires crossed and the other man was actually the one who was bemused and in a way being kind to him by letting him eat what was actually his. We’re going to use a pub lunch as the thing that the story’s centred around rather than a doughnut, which I think is from the original story, because I think it is more applicable to a target range of teenagers/young adults and maybe even adults as well and this way we can put our own spin on it and try to make it amusing as well.
