Video and film Proposal

So this short film is called "3 minutes". Its basically about a guy who had a secret. His secret was between him and this girl who he had recently had sex with for the first time but he only lasted 3 minutes. He walks into the school/college/university/job etc and gets weird looks from people and people laughing at him so he starts to get paranoid and then it hits him that the girl has told everyone about their secret that he didn't last very long in bed when someone comes up to him and says "how you doing 3 minute man?" and when he realizes that his secret has been released he goes red, starts to sweat and then one guy says something to him, pats him on the back but when he pats him on his back he sticks a note pad there saying "3 minute man" then he runs off.

This is all still in the idea process so it may well all change and i know it seems like a sad story but its based off the humor off the inbetweeners humor so it'll be funny.
The kind of narrative structures that i would be including in my story would be that its open, so he runs off and it fades out meaning that there wasn't really an ending, its realist so it could happen in real life (people are cruel yes). I would say its multi strand as it'll be from the girls perspective of her being like "oh my gosh he knows i told everyone" etc and when he realizes that his secret is found it goes slow motion and everything else apart from him is blurred. Its linear meaning that it will go from start to end and it'll last between 1-2 minutes.

On a side note we were introduced to cross cutting this lesson also but only briefly. Cross cutting is basically where there's say a chase scene for example and its cutting from scene to scene but they both end up at the same ending so its 2 events happening at the same time but in the film its switching from each event and this is mainly used ti build suspense but they don't have too.

My soundtrack will be voice overs and there probably wont be any diegetic sound included so ill have a soundtrack behind it but the kind of sound track ill have is like just normal happy ,music with birds chirping in the background etc but when he realizes that his secret is found out it turns towards some comical dark-ish music.

My target audience is people that are aged around 12+. This film is also going to be rated a 12A.

Here is my spider gram for the proposal:

  1. A very good proposal, but try and use more terminology (i.e linear, non-linear etc) Also, what warrants the film being a 12+ rather than a PG or an 18?
