rickycoleman Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 Could give us a little more info to work with? Failing that, make it a story about a gang rape involving 4 guys and 1 girl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minitrialer Posted September 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 thats all the info i have! It's being acted by the drama group hence the ratio of boys to girls and it also has to be realistic. So as much as i would like to see some of them naked it aint gonna happen. Any simple arty sort of idea's and plots are welcome. Please help me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F-Stop Junkie Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 1 boy, 4 girls? Hmm...Boy and girl 1 going out, but boy confides in girl 2 about being gay, girl 3 is friend of girl 1, and girl 4 is friend of girl 2.Girl 2 and 4 also know each other, but not the other friends directly.Chinese whispers occurs, so girl 1 tells girl 3 that she thinks her boyfriend is gay, she tells girl 3 in confidence that she thinks her boyfriend is gay, she tells girl 4 in confidence that she thinks her female friend is gay, then she tells girl 2 and she tells the boy. Boy thinks that they're both closeted, and you build to a scene of:Boy: Look, I know we've had problems, but it's ok that you're gay, I am too, I just couldn't tell you.[beat]Girl: What?Boy: We're both gay. It's ironic isn't it? We both come to this realisation at the same time! We can support each other!Girl: You're gay??Boy: Yeah, it's obvious now. The awkwardness, it makes sense now. I thought I was just a bad f**k.Girl: Well, you were, but not enough to make me a lesbian.Boy: [chuckles] I know, I know, you've always been gay...Girl: [realising the insinuation] I've never been gay. I never... I'm not... Boy: [interupting] It's ok, I'm...Girl: [interupting, annoyed] Gay, I get it. You're a great big fairy, the queen of the castle, the next f**king Graham Norton, but I'm not gay. [softens] I'm straight, always have been. [beat]Girl: Have you told anyone else?Boy sits slowly, shaking his headGirl sits, putting her arm around him. Girl: Thank you for coming out to me. I love you, I'll be here for you, heck, we'll even go out on the pull together.[beat]Girl: I'd make a great lesbian though...How's about a tale of teen angst, 1 boy and 1 girl are one clique, 2 other girls the other with one trapped inbetween.First clique are slacker emo types - we're using broad generalisations here, and the second are working hard types.One trapped inbetween has to reconcile the lifestyle of one group, against the work ethic of the other. Initally they try to lead a dual life, with comprimises to try and please both groups, but then decide that they can just be themselves, and be slacker emo who works hard, and both groups accept them.

minitrialer Posted September 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 haha na i appreciate it. At least you're trying. You should see my effort. It's actually embarrassing, how do you write a script without it being really cliché' and corny n stuff? And also sounding like every other low budget script?

It's actually embarrassing, how do you write a script without it being really cliché' and corny n stuff? And also sounding like every other low budget script? Well, you either come up with a new concept - like The Matrix - or you tell it in an unusual way - like Pulp Fiction, or seeing Star Wars unfold through the droids eyes.What I always like as a device is following a lead character(s), but showing other things going on so that the audience know the conclusion early on then either throw in a twist, or just keep putting off the lead characters realisation of what's going on as long as possible.
