Initial Ideas

Genre - Social Realism

Narrative - A man (40s-50s) with OCD is struggling through life and he is very isolated. A younger woman (20s-30s) interrupts his daily routine and they start a friendship. She discovers he is a writer and encourages his writing, which helps his OCD to become less severe. He sends off to publishers and gets a rejection letter, which causes his illness to become more severe but she helps him through this. She then gets a partner/boyfriend and they end up moving away, leaving the man alone again on his own where he relapses into his severe form of OCD. He then gets a message/postcard from the woman and he is spurred on to writing again, he sends it to a publisher. The book is published and the woman shows up at the man's house with a copy for him to sign. 

 Ideas for filming - 

  • The shots at the beginning are like the groundhog day to reiterate the idea of his un broken routine
  • Use a number that is present in almost every shot - OCD is based around numbers- 5
  • Use Aimee's house

First Draft - Feedback

It is def looking better and you’ve taken on board you’re feedback so well done. Now let’s sort the sound. Still consider a more emotional re-record, and chop/layer the sound. As you’re using copyright free music, keep trawling and see if there’s anything else there.  From Miss Page, also consider whether you have a colour palette and how you can emphasise this. Especially if it is an art related trailer!
