M&M STORY
Opening sequence bu bubda da du du du du duuuuuuuu.
Explosion! Multiple celebrities fall from the sky into the shot.
Okay real opening shot is not happy music not sad music and
it’s a shot behind a door and you see Brian walk into the house hands his
girlfriend a bottle of wine and as he is introducing him self to the parents
they offer him a seat and some m&ms he turns them down and sits on the
couch. (this is all a title
sequence so you hear nothing but the music and see what’s happening and the
name of all the actors. This is
just to introduce the characters. )
Shows Brian sitting at the table and the narration comes in
talking about who he is what his name is.
Girlfriend’s parents ask about his child hood and he tells them how he
never was aloud to have candy as a kid while seeing flashbacks. He explains that after he moves out of
the house he went on a binge and ate candy constantly. M&Ms were his
thing.
He then asks to be excused and goes to the bathroom. While he’s in they’re looking at him
self in the mirror he looks down and sees a single M&M sitting on the
counter. He eats it and remembers
his love for M&M he comes out of the bathroom and tries to discretely get
to the bowl of all the m&ms and eat them all with out the other people
noticing him.
Since he was caught he starts to run while hes running away
he either trips inside or outside but over an m&m he gets up and is still running
and while hes running people are just throwing m7ms at him. He continues running and gets hit in
the face with an entire back of m7ms and the screen goes black.
I still need a lot of work on the ending.
Currently, there is no reason to have the girlfriend, the parents, or the meeting scene. If that scene is important to you, then the ending should be informed by that.
ReplyDeleteWhat I mean is this. Your character wants to win a girl's parent's approval. That's his goal. The obstacle to this goal is his addiction to M&Ms. So no w you must decide if the character gets the girl in the end or if he shoots himself in the foot (so to speak). Once you decide that, you can write an ending that gets him to that point.
What if he's never had candy a day in his life and the parents offer him an M&M. He protests since he's never tried it before, but they insist. He wants them to like him, so he says okay why not. When he eats it, it's like an instant sugar rush. He goes nuts. He starts freaking out, running, screaming. You can have the M&Ms chase him and hit him like you planned. Then you can decide if this was all a dream brought on by the first bite of candy, or if he really did this awful stuff. One way he wins the parent's approval, one way he doesn't.
