Possible ideas

Hello everyone, this is just an old idea I found in my workbook that I come up with in the screenwriting class, what we did was we looked at headlines from the news and made premises on the basis of them. let us know what you think.

The main character is a hardworking & humorous tax official, who is in good health but is quite old.

During the Christmas period (I don't have a name for him but we'll just call him Colin for now) Colin has alot of work on his hands, when his ditzy secretary dumps a load more work on him, she jokes of him having a heart attack.

As the secretary walks off, Colin pretends to have a heart attack, the secretary laughs and leaves the room.

Throughout the day, the secretary makes various attempts to knock on his door, asking if he wants tea etc. She presumes he is busy and we see a junior employee look at the door with suspicion and intrigue.

On the second day at work we see the ditzy secretary call the junior employee to show what she has done to Colin. She has dressed him up as Santa Claus and says how funny it will be when he wakes up. The junior employee goes up to him and explains to the secretary that Colin is dead, but she still doesn't believe him, so he pulls Colin's fake teeth out and mimes with them "he's dead can you see?!?"

She finally understands, but explains that she has made the staff Christmas cards (with a photo of Colin dressed as Santa used) and already sent them out. All the staff come into Colin's office and panic..

That's as far as I got with that but it's just an idea to start with, anyone else with any ideas feel free to post them!

Group D Productions

Hi guys

I've set up this blog so that we can all keep in contact over the summer and discuss any potential ideas that Theo, or anybody else, may have for our piece. I think we're looking to produce a drama piece, probably comedy, but this isn't set in stone so please post any ideas at all, no matter how big or small! It'd be great to have a few ideas to get stuck in to discussing and developing.

The crew list so far is as follows:

Director - Theo Piper-Griffiths
Producer - Amy Tuffnell
Art Director - Verity Watkins
Sound Designer - Thomas Husbands
Picture Editor - Chelsea Batchelor

As you will have noticed, we still have no Cinematographer. If you know of anybody doing Cinematography next year who may be interested in working with us, please post details on here.

I look forward to speaking to you all soon and getting some ideas rolling!

Hope you're all having a great summer.

PS. I didn't know what to call the group so went for Group D Productions - How strange that we've all stuck together from year one! :)
