Ok.... so here it goes....

I have an idea for a film. It would be very easy to do and I think will be awesome in visuals. It would all be VO, no actual dialog between the actors so it'll be easier to direct them.

I would like to movie to be all in black in white, with a main girl,and her boyfriend would be sleeping in their bed. It would start with her outside smoking a cigarette, and the VO would begin. I don't have the dialog yet, but it will basically contains references to her questioning what to do with her life after the revealing of her boyfriend cheating on her. This will play throughout the whole movie as we see her calmly to the dishes, clean up, and get ready to leave somewhere. But every time we see her glance at her boyfriend, there will be cuts of him with other girls. (One clip of him over another girl on their bed, against a wall, and maybe one of a girl on top of him). But all these cuts will flash very quickly every time she looks at him. After all this goes on, we will finally see her all dressed up with a suitcase in her hand walking out of the building, put on her sunglasses, and say "I think it is just time for me to move on." and her face will pass right by the camera smiling. As soon as we think the movie is over, there will be another cut to her boyfriend laying in bed still, but with a bag over his head, dead.

I think this would be a good idea because it is simple enough that it can be shot in a day. All we would need it 4 girls and one guy. We can use my apartment as the set, and we wouldn't even need many mics or anything because it will all be voice over.

When it comes to the characters, I would like the main character to be blond so she can stand out from the other girls her boyfriend is having affairs with (I already have someone interested in playing the part.), I would like the boyfriend to be somewhat athletic, and the other three girls to have different hairstyles so the audience can see there is more than one girl since they are going to be going by so fast. (I already have 2 girls interested in this as well).

So ya.... this is my idea... I don't know if you guys like it... it is a bit darker, but I think it would make a lot of impact without so much time.

Let me know what you guys think! We'll probably talk about it at our meeting today.... but I thought I would put it on here as well just in case someone can't go, or for reference.

Hope you like it!

I like the idea, but it doesn't have unique enough an edge on it for me. I've seen things like this before, what makes it different? I'm not putting it down, that's just my reservation for doing it. Everything else about it would be fine.
