'The Loser'

We have decided to base our film upon a romantic comedy following comic book style elements. The common conventions of a romanctic comedy is that two protagonists (heros), usually a man and woman, meet under unusual or comic circumstances, part ways due to an argument or other obstacle, then ultimately reunite, perhaps with some comic friction or awkwardness,and declare their love for each other and the film ends happily. Our version will follow a similar structure to the above, however will include a more light hearted feel. Compared to the typical rom-com structure.

Analysis of Existing Films
Scott Pilgrim
This idea is significant as it follows a similar plot to our idea and is very comic styled. It uses text over the film to create an almost pop art feel -which we will try to mimic this in our own piece.

Inbetweeners
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w6Px7zH-MK4&feature=pyv&ad=5910860718&kw=inbetweeners&has_verified=1 - This episode shows the geek of the show, Will, chatting to Charlotte Hinchcliffe, an attractive older school mate who is known for her promiscuous ways. As well, we see Jay, a geek how believes he isn't, bragging and exaggerating about his sex life and offering highly questionable 'advice' to his friends. These characters descriptions will play a large part within our own piece, and also it is amusing and so captures the audience, which is our main intention with our own piece.

First Draft Of Script
Camera follows boy walking forwards (close up, gradually zooms out to long distance shot following him walking) another boy pushes him out of shot as camera continues strafing backward. Boy collects himself and re-enters shot.

Boy2: I’te dilhole
Boy1: and you want what exactly
Boy2: nowt just you gotta hear what me and my bird did last night

(the camera then switches to cross shots)

Boy1: I’m not interested in your profound and naked happenings

(Boy 2 fumbles with phone in pocket)

B2: right well, I was there and so was she, right and we were both under her mums bed while she was in the room, tense stuff eigh.
B1: shut up, the fact that you’re seeing a girl who has to put her pants on with a boomerang is bad enough but I don’t want to hear about you being engulfed by her love handles of death, thank you very much.
B2: OI at least I’ve got a girlfriend
B1: yes, one who communicates through grunting and I swear tried to eat me last time I met her.
B2: Well it’s your own fault for wearing that lynx chocolate
B1: Well I’ll complain to lynx then for not putting “warning may cause death by cannibalism” on the wrapper. And another thing...
B2: why don’t you ask her out today then, it’s your chance to get a girlfriend

(side shot)

B1: yeah well maybe I will ask her out this year, she is in my class after all.
B2: yeah well maybe I’ll grow massive tits and enter miss universe.

(Cuts to a behind shot, stationary)

B1: you know what sod off; I’m a lady magnet I’ll have you know
B2: whatever man I’m off I’ve got maths

(Boy2 breaks off and runs to the left)

B1: yeah see you at break.

(Waves friend off)
