Our Idea! :D

Hey, just thought I'd post a brief outline of the idea. Theo, can you post your page outline on here please so that Tom can catch up from the last meeting and we can all post feedback on it via the blog.

The film is based around four office workers; Colin (the loved up guy), Wilf (the loser guy), Steve (the cool guy) and Paul (the stupid guy). Annie pointed out that we need a main guy and we should follow his story, but bring in the other characters' smaller narratives throughout the film. I think Theo is thinking that this will be Colin, but he can tell you more on that. The whole film is building up to the office party the following day, where each of them have something important happening (or so they hope) at this office fancy dress party. The theme for the party is "idols".

So, Colin ("average Joe" sort of guy) is in love with a girl from the rival department, Sarah. At the beginning of the film we see him make attempts to speak to Sarah but she is quite disinterested, and instead of impressing her, Colin spills tea all over Sarah's bag, ruining her carefully planned Minnie Mouse outfit!...A problem for Colin, considering that he bought a Mickey Mouse outfit after discovering what Sarah was dressing up as!

Wilf, the target of Steve's jokes and pranks, has been nominated to make the Marketing department's speech at the party. Throughout the film we see him plan his speech carefully, and are made aware that he is hoping that this speech will put him in first place for the promotion to Marketing Manager available. His obsession with the speech only encourages Steve and the others to make fun of Wilf even more, and we see such things as him getting rude labels stuck to his back and his stationary going missing throughout the film. However, despite Steve thinking he constantly has one over on him, it is in fact Wilf who most certainly has one over on Steve....Just as Steve sees an opportunity to "Facebook rape" him, Wilf is getting "raped" by Steve's bird!

Paul is the stupid guy. He asks stupid questions and constantly has a blank expression on his face. We see him get excited about his "idol" throughout the film, but we don't know what it is. At the party we see him come as something really stupid, such as half a horse or Humpty Dumpty or something ridiculous!

At the party, Colin (AKA Mickey Mouse) is trying to impress Sarah. She turns him down and he gets incredibly drunk, ending up on the karaoke belting out Mariah Carey's "Without you"! In the meantime, Wilf has been called away...meaning he can't do his speech! He looks for help, but Colin is too busy pouring his heart out and there's no way he's asking Steve for help...he'll just stitch him up! His only option is Paul. Wilf gives Paul his Darth Vader outfit and leaves him with strict instructions to just read the speech out through his mask and nobody will know who it is.

Wilf leaves and Paul loses the speech. He finds what he thinks is the speech and stands up in front of the crowd to read it out...but it turns out to be a sheet with song lyrics (not sure what yet, something silly or crude)! So he's ruined it for Wilf.

In the end, the boss (who we have previously seen as a stuck up, mood bitch) has let her hair down and is having a good time, extremely drunk. She takes a liking to Colin after his performance on the karaoke and he ends up forgetting Sarah and getting with her! Which ultimately leads onto him getting the promotion!

After Paul has messed up the speech, he takes off the Darth Vader outfit and puts his own back on. Whatever he is dressed up as, Sarah has a weird obsession with it and offers him a kiss/oral sex/sex. Paul shrugs and agrees.

Steve finds out that Wilf has been sleeping with his missus and we see an emotional side to him. And Wilf is happy being a lady magnet!



Anybody post feedback/ideas/anything I've missed on here please. Thanks!
