The male lead is attracted to a mysterious female student at his college. Every day he tries to talk to her, but is unable to before his day resets. He is drawn to find out why this is happening and how to stop the cycle, as he is intrigued by the girl and wants to speak with her. The story draws inspiration from the film "Happy Death Day" and will focus on the relationship between the characters and the mystery surrounding the time loop.
2. OVERVIEW
Thriller Genre
The lead male character is attracted to a girl at
college. He is seen looking at her social media
at looking at her around college. He wants to
talk to her and starts coming up with plans to
talk to her, however every time he gets close
she looks at him and his day starts again.
However he is drawn to her every day as he is
intrigued to find out why this keeps happening
and his day keeps repeating.
We have taken lots of
our ideas from the
film 'Happy Death
Day'. We took the
idea of the day
restarting and
needing to find out a
reason this is
happening in order to
stop it from
happening.
3. Key Characters
The female character is the suspicious
character that has a lot of mystery
surrounding her. She acts very enticing and
mysterious towards the male character as this
is how he is drawn to her. She appears of a
high class and is popular around college. She
wears a particular necklace that the male
character notices.
The male character is a very typical college
student with very basic clothing. He is intrigued
and drawn to the female character. He is attracted
to her and keen to speak to her. When he can’t
speak to her without his day restarting he
becomes very confused and realises he needs to
figure out why he can't speak to her to stop his
day from restarting. He is shy and has struggled in
life.
4. Promotional
Campaign
The USP we are pushing is the idea that his day
restarts the same and he experiences the same
thing every day whilst trying to talk to this girl.
We will emphasize the
relationship between the
boy not being able to
reach the girl in our
marketing campaign.
There will also be emphasis on
the mystery and confidence
surrounding the female
character. And the intrigue of the
boy and his confusion and
motivation to solve what is
happening.
7. Teaser Trailer Ideas:
• Montage sequence of the
character waking up from the
day starting over and over
again, a variety of styles and
shots can be used to give a
very unique section.
• An establishing set of shots to
show off the setting of where
the narrative is going to take
place.
• A voice over of the main male
character narrating the
situation and some description
of who he is and what is
happening in his life at the
moment.
• A dramatic reveal of the female
character and the effect she is
having on the other characters
that are involved in the
narrative.
