5. LOBSTER
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.
6. • A romantic drama.
LOBSTER
• The film looks like it is
taking itself
Style 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.
• Slightly surreal… because
the lobster is treated like a
human throughout the film
7. LOBSTER
Tone and
• Romantic
Theme • Dramatic
• 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.
8. • For people sick of the
LOBSTER
Audience 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.
9. Problems
The main problem would be the puppetry/
animation of the lobster. We would consider
either buying a lobster puppet or making one
ourselves.

Alternatively we could us clay or drawn
animation to show the lobster.
