Me and my companion Daniel Elphick are currently in the process of undergoing a film venture. So far, our initial ideas, are the following:We realised pretty quickly that most films that will be made teenagers will seem low budget; chiefly because it is. With that idea at the front of our minds, we wanted to make a film that didn't rely on expensive surroundings, lighting, actors etc. My group have decided to make a cult-esque style film. We decided to draw inspiration from films like Sean of the Dead, and Skeletons.
Call The Wardens is a preliminary idea amongst our group. It features 2 main protagonists William Darling and Frankie Daubney, 2 traffic wardes, both with very different approaches to the job. Frankie is a maverick, not caring to break the rules as long as he gets the job done. He doesn't suffer fools gladly, this combined with a love for all things whisky based, he often finds himself in tussles with members of the public. William is relatively new on the traffic warden scene. He has been paired with Frankie, an established veteran. Together they stumble upon a plot to assasinate the Prime Minister. With the national hatrid for traffic wardens at its most viscious, they find very few people who take their claims seriously. They must battle these obsticles and save the Prime Minister's life, with endless satire along the way. The plot of this is likely to change in the near future.
Our second idea is named Fortune. It starts 2 friends who have to write the fortunes inside fortune cookies. The story is told from the main protagonist's (Mark's) point of view. It starts from Bertie's (The second main character) graveside as he retells the story of his eventual death. The two characters get in endless japes with their new found powers, however with time they become jealous of one another, and fight using the fortune cookies, this is how Berties death comes about. The story is about greed, jealousy and friendship.
As with EVERY film that has EVER been made EVER, trailers tend to come around after the film has been made, as to get the best bits from the film to get people to come and see it. This project however, ignores this fact, quite brilliantly, and so we must choose and edit clips from a film, that HASN'T been made, quite remarkable.
