New story plot!

I have changed my mind about the story plot again, but this time I'm sticking to it. I have decided that this will be the plot;
There is a man and a woman. They are in a relationship. He is going to propose to her, but she is thinking of leaving him. It is a simple plot but alot happens during this opening. It ends on a cliff hanger when he asks "Will you marry me?" and there is just a close up of her face. That will be the end of the film opening.
I will post more about this when I have had a discussion with my focus group on what we can do to make this better.

Different Types of Rom-Com Posters/DVD covers

Today, I researched different types of rom-com posters. I discovered that there are 7 main clichés. These are;

Back to Back
                                   

The Three Floating Heads
                               
The Park Bench
                                    
The Giant Heads
                                 
The Collage
                              
The Pick-Me-Up Pose
                                    
The Lean
                                   

I think all these clichés are really eye catching but my favourites are The Pick-Me-Up Posse and Three Floating Heads. I think the one that will be best for my opening will be "Three Floating Heads".

My film plot

I have finally decided on film plot! My focus group and I decided that we all would prefer to watch the idea of the bestfriends growing up together. The origianl idea was this;

• The girl is the protagonist and she has a flashback. She does a prologue over the whilst the flash back is happening. The flashback is- two best friends, boy and girl, growing up. Shows about 3 stages of there lifes' such as little child, preteen and teenager. She mentions in the prologue that she always liked him but he only liked her as a bestfriend

We haven't fully expanded on this idea but I will post the final plot as soon as we have decided on the minor details.

Ideas for plots

Today I discussed with my focus group possible ideas for my film opening. We came up with a few breif ideas such as;

• A girl goes to a new school and meets a boy. They fall in love instantly. The popular girl fancies the boy and decides to make the new girl's life hell.
  
• The girl is the protagonist and she has a flashback. She does a prologue over the whilst the flash back is happening. The flashback is- two best friends, boy and girl, growing up. Shows about 3 stages of there lifes' such as little child, preteen and teenager. She mentions in the prologue that she always liked him but he only liked her as a bestfriend
  
• Shows the males life before meeting the girl, 1:30 minutes. Shows the females life before they meet, 1:30 minutes. They meet in an obscure way.

So far, this is the plots we have come up with. We will decide on one plot and then expand on that.
