Photomatic

Here is an idea for a first project I want to do. There can be no dialouge and it needs to be shootable on a weekend with the resources that I have (none). Take a read and let me know what you think. Leave a comment or even better pick a font color and write on the post itself. The creator can be black (me).

This is the general sloppy idea:

There is a guy walking around a college campus. He is wading his way through the masses of students during a break in classes. He sees a girl walking through the crowds and his eyes follow her. She disappears in to the crowd.

Later he sees her again as he is walking by some outdoor tables. He stops and stares at her for a little bit but then walks on.

The next day he is sitting at a table near where he saw her yesterday but she is not there this time. He is reading and he looks over his book and she sits at a table near him. He gets up and puts his stuff away and walks toward her but doesn't stop to talk to her.

Next we see him sitting in a boring small office at a desk with a line of people with backpacks on. A flash goes off and we hear the sound of a camera snapping. We see him sitting at a desk behind a computer being really bored. A person sits down and and he takes a photo of them without even really looking at them. He is really bored looking. A couple of these go by and we see him taking crappy photos of people not ready to have their photos taken, looking away, eyes closed, etc.

Then someone sits down in the photo chair and it is the girl. He instantly perks up. He gestures for her to sit up a little straighter and snaps a photo. He looks at it and gestures "one more" or something to tell her he is going to take one more. He snaps it but then tells her to stand up. Now he has a full sized DSLR and is leaning over the counter getting into taking photos.

Next is a bunch of quick cuts, tight shots of them taking photos.

Next we see that it is only them two in the office and they are doing modeling poses and stuff, next it is her wearing an elegant dress taking photos. then it is them both dancing together in the room. Then he goes to make a move and kiss her but she slaps him.

This brings him out of his daydream and we see her sitting in the chair looking strangly at him. He snaps to it and take a photo with the computer. She hands him a document and he writes some stuff on it and is looking over the computer at her as he types some stuff. The card comes out and he hands it to her.

She leaves and he watches her go. He is still holding the paper and then he looks at it. It is a form and it has her phone number on it. He looks at the phone number.

CUT TO BLACK.

That's it. Add or subtract or critique. No idea too big or small, no critique too mean or too good.
