He looks around and hes in his room he cant believe it was it all a dream??????
He calls the girl she questions him and says what hes talking about but through the phone on the other of the side of the line shes smiling.
The boy is still bewildered what happened!?? was it real or just a dream???????
I love the idea and the emotion brought forth fro it. It calls for much action and romance which is key to the purpose of the film. Be careful with the idea of waking up and it just being all a dream but it seems like it is necessary for your film. The characters must be convincing and dynamic to get your message through clearly. I am looking forward to see how this film will turn out.
ReplyDeleteYour idea is good but it kind of gets boring while reading it. But maybe you could add more excitment to it. I think it would be a good film with a little more action.
ReplyDeleteI think you did a good job by adding the idea that the girl tricks him because it gives a good idea of a future plot. But since this is supposed to be for a short film i feel this isn't good because the ending is too open. So this would be good as a movie intro but not for this kind of project.
