4. Synopsis.
Sally has just been dumped by her boyfriend who found a new girl and is
feeling love sick and depressed. While walking home she passes her
favorite fishmongers thinking about treating herself to some delicious sea
food.
However, as her eyes scan the room she finds much more than she was
looking for. Her soul mate. Lobster…
It was love at first sight and so started their whirlwind romance.
(cue montage of romantic scenes)
Everything was going great until Sally orders langoustine while at a
romantic candle lit dinner. Lobster is devastated and offers the ultimatum:
‘You either eat my kind, or love my kind.’
That night, Sally swears to never eat shell fish again and they make up.
A couple of days later, Lobster is putting tissues in the bin and sees
something that destroys his love for Sally. Lying amongst the rubbish he
spies the shell of a fellow crustacean and decides that that is the final
straw.
Sally finds a goodbye note from Lobster and breaks down.
A few weeks later, Sally is still in mourning over her lost love and looking
bedraggled walks past Lobster on the arm of another hottie.
Last shot is of Sally crying in the street.
5. Style
• A romantic comedy.
• The film looks like it is taking itself
seriously, therefore it is the content that
creates an element of comedy.
• Will include soft lighting, montages of
romantic scenes, emotional close ups to
show love and passion and a very linear
narrative to show development of feelings.
6. Tone and theme.
• Romantic
• Dramatic
• Fun
• Pretense of seriousness
• It is a reflection of modern day love and the difficulties
couples have to overcome.
• Love comes in all forms and no one should be judged
on how they feel for another.
• Furthermore it portrays that not all love is forever and
that in real life, there is not always a happy ending.
7. Audience
• For people sick of the average and over used
rom com conventions.
• We aim to make it relatable to women, and so
women above the ages of 20 will be the main
target audience.
