1. A Pitch By Alexander Erting-Haynes, Jak Cochrane and James?
FAST LOVE
Love isn’t all you need

2. JOHN – THE PROTAGONIST
John is a man in his early thirties. He is a rather average man, with
little to no discerning features. He dresses smartly yet never
sharply. He likes good music, but not great music. We’re talking
like Ed Sheeran and stuff. If there was just one single word you
could use to describe John, it would undoubtedly be ‘average’. Due
to these particularly vanilla features, he never had much luck with
the opposite sex, though this never really bothered him. However,
in recent times, he has felt a feeling quite unlike any he has
experienced before; an emptiness, a yearning for more. He is sure
what he needs in his life is love. Or is it?

3. PLOT SYNOPSIS
John is a man in his thirties who has never needed love. Though it
is now that he begins to realise that maybe he is missing
something. Gathering up all of his confidence and guile, he decides
to give speed dating a try. However, we soon discover that John is
not as compatible as he may think he is. Coming to an epiphany,
he realises that maybe it’s not love that he’s missing after all!

4. TARGET AUDIENCE
As it’s a light-hearted rom-com romp, our short film is aimed at 20+ year-olds, as our research
has shown that people of and above this age (especially females) enjoy romantic, upbeat
movies the most. Although Hugh Grant won’t be involved.

5. SETTINGS
We have discussed many possible settings such as youth clubs,
pubs, community halls, or other public hirable places where speed
dating events take place, and are leaning more towards a
community centre. On top of this, we will also need a set for John’s
apartment, though that won’t be an issue as all three of us have
houses that are available for use.
