My Idea!

Background:

I have decided to base my idea on something that I am interested in. When I was younger I loved dancing and I frequently watch television related programmes to do with the hobby. From this I decided to base my two minute film opening around dance. Although this is probably an obvious topic to chose for my age range and gender I feel that it is better for me to do something I feel comfortable with, rather than chose something of which I have little or no interest in. 

Plot:

My idea is that I have one main character who looks around 17. She has a unique look and is a very good dancer. She walks to various locations all of which are within her surroundings. I want to give the impression that she is on a journey, walking from place to place doing what she loves best - dancing. Whilst she is walking to a variety of places the film is going to crosscut to where auditions are taking place. Where the audience will see during different points of the opening five auditionee's walk into a dance studio in front of three judges and start to dance. It is evident however, that these audtionees are not up to the standard that the main character is. In order to collaborate the two scenes and give the impression they are intertwined I am going to cut between the main character walking and to where the auditions are taking place. In order to make it evident that the main character should be at the audition as she is the better dancer, I am going to have her walk past a poster advertising for the auditions yet she does not aknowledge that it is there, because she does not see it, yet the audience does. Whist the main character is walking to different locations dancing on her way to and from each, I am going to show the auditionees dancing so the audience can directly compare her dancing skills to those of the auditionees. Furthermore, through the main character not knowing about the auditions taking place, yet the audience does, I feel it gives them the impression that they want to watch more and see if she does eventually make it in the world of dance.
