Hey guys! This is going to be a pretty short post but I just wanted to let you guys know that Nick and I finally have decided on an idea for our short film!
We decided to stick to the stuck on repeat idea. Our finalized idea is to follow the day to day life of two friends. Both of these friends know that their lives are stuck in this continuous loop, however one tries to convince the other to break this loop. One of the characters is bored of knowing what will happen to them instead of living life of the edge and making decisions in which they haven’t done before. Neither of these characters have been able to truly enjoy life since they only follow the same schedule everyday.
Here’s the breakdown of how Nick and I were thinking of showing this story:
-act 1 (2 mins): establishing the loop between both characters/ they know each other are both in the loop (2-3 times repeated)
-act 2 (2 mins): Presenting conflict- why one character wants to break the loop and trying to convince the other to join
-act 3 (1 min): resolution- (similar to the film “Inception") alarm clock goes off at specific time, 6:45am, every morning/takes 10 seconds to turn off alarm, time ticking to 6:45:10am for the audience to wonder if they ended the loop or continued.
Essentially the ending would be up to the audience’s interpretation, however both of us really liked this idea. We finally have agreed on an idea which we both like and are starting to work on the script! Be sure to check back for more updates! Until next time…
