concept

this is a concept I was writing for my film final. what you are a bout to read is a concept being written right in front of you. as i typed, it was being created. so the first thing you will read is an attempt of writing it then the next is a finished concept that is not as detailed. after that, it is a one sentence concept then the start of the script.




A 17 year old boy named Charlie lives in a respected family. His parents die (for some reason I have yet to figure out) and he is left to fend for himself. His girlfriend tells him that she is going to have his child and he panics. The house that his parents own is getting taken away from him and he doesnt think he is ready for a child so he leaves home and is walking for a few weeks when he comes across a group of traveling gypsys. They take him under their wing and he travels with them. They teach him how to play the guitar n the ways of the world. He falls in love with a gypsy girl named_____ After a year living with them they end up in a big city. One night he gets separated from them and he is left to fend himself in the city where he lived on the streets. The only thing he has with him is a guitar. He plays guitar for food; one day a guy about his age comes up to him and tells asks him if he wrote the song he was playing. He says yes it is. The
boy asks, would you like to be in a band. Charlie thin and feeble. The boy says why don't you come with me and I will get you some food....would you like that? We can talk some more after that. So Charlie gets up n walks with him to a near by restant. As they are waiting for their food, the boy says my name is thomas and he is starting a band. He went on to say that he would get a place to stay and food to eat. After they eat Thomas asks so what do you think? Wanna meet the rest of the group? Charlie agrees to so they leave the place. When thomas and Charlie got to their destination, Thomas lead him into the run down house. One of the guys came out of one of the bedrooms looking blery eyed and asked who "he" was. Thomas explained to him that charlie was the new guitarist and introduced the other guy, ryan to Charlie. The band started to practce songs; while Charlie and Thomas wrote songs and got closer...


There is a guy whos parents die so he runs away from the pain n nocks his girlfriend up. Then the house his parents owned is getting taken away n he doesnt want to be a father so he runs away from there n finds some gypsies where he falls in love with a girl. She wants to get married n that freaks him out so he leaves n ends up in a big city. He lives on the street n plays guitar for food. A guy his age asks him to join his band n he does. He starts to do skag n tries to run away from himself. He gets another girl nocked up n he leaves to go back home and ends up back in his old town so he disides to see his first girlfriend. He can't find her so he asks a lady if she still lives there. The lady asks why he is looking for her. She then says that the girl died a few years ago when her boyfriend disapered and left her with child. She could not bear it so she killed her self while the child was still not born. The guy is freaked out because he realizes
that it is his fault for her n the child's death so he goes back to his girlfriend that is about to have his child and marries her n changes his life.

in 1 setances: it is about a young guy who runs away from every thing when times get a little bit hard so in the end he changes his life and bears with it.

A slow pan of a piano and stops on a man playing pasionatly. He is about the age of 17. Charles is his name. He is wearing a suit as the song ends, a girl walks in and leans on the piano saying "aw Charlie, that's so pretty!" he plays the last note and looks up at her. She then goes over to him and hugs him, as he puts his arms around her, he looks into her eyes and says "its not finished yet..." he kisses her neck "but when its done, its for you." then he kisses her again.

rough draft

so here is the ruff draft concept of my film Tristan. Before it was what it is now...


The film starts out with a normal man getting ready for work. All of a sudden his front door gets broken down and several men in stocking caps rush in. They seazed the man and toke him to a van. Once inside the van the they nocked the man out. When the man awakes, he sees that he is duck tapedto a chair and locked in a room. As he comes to his senses, he starts screaming and thrashing. Two of the men come into the room and ask him to tell them where he hide "it" he says he doesn't know what they are talking about and he doesn't know why he's there. They beat him up but once they relize that he won't tell them anything he knows, they lock him back up in the room. After a few days the man is screaming, taterd and torn; the two men come in the room and ask him if he will now tell them where he put it. But he still says he doesn't know and they should just kill him now. So they drag him to there boss. When he looks up he sees that is it his boss from work.
The man freaks out. Not knowing why his boss is there and with the men that kidnaped him. His boss asks him if he won't tell them where he hide it they will have to kill him. The man says he doesn't know what they are talking about so they should just kill him now. His boss says fine kill him. The next thing he wakes up in his bed; hears some one moving around in his bedroom. Looking around, he sees his girlfriend zipping out her sutecase. She looks at him and says if you wanted to break up, just tell it to my face. Instead of keeping me up all night; yelling at me and telling me I was worthless and I'm not your boss! She then takes off one of her shoes and flings it at him. It misses so she takes off the other one and hits him on the head with it; then leaves. He gets up saying to him self wow that was a bad night. He then starts to hey ready to go to work. It ends

intro to a film

She then looks around n you see her breath because it is cold. She looks worried.

Lights a fag



~The End~







great start huh?!

The Town is on fire

The towns on fire

And there's nothing I can do

As we ran for the hills

Watched the animals running to the mills

(There) was a time with out you

A time with out a war

A time to love

And a time to leave (move on)

But when you left in such a rush...Oh!

The wind in the sails are full now

Full to carry you off

As we carried on our way to the

motorway

Looking back and a pillar of salt

We are bold

And we are dumb

To fall in the dust

For dust did we come

They came to cut out my heart

But they won't have it, oh no!

Crack that whip

I'm needing more

Oh the town's on fire

I'm needing more

As we ran for the mills

I'm needing more

Watched as the animals ran for the hills

I'm needing more oh no no no

Oh! What a beautiful day!

With the wind in the sails full now

Oh let's sail away

For today is the first time I set eyes on you

And we are bold

And we are dumb

So let's go

And get lost

'Cuz I need more

I need you my love

Do you hear that?

With the man in the hat

By that old lamp

Oh! there was a time wit out you

And time with out a war

For there is a time to love

And a time to leave

But you left in such a rush

And the wind in the sails are full

Full to cary you off for evermore

Gone...






gone, gone
She has gone away forever
Left me alone
Lost in the dark
Disappeared into a world that i have not known
She has left for the shark
In which has eaten the grass
To which made her take flight
I have lost all my might
For I wish her not to have left
If it was not for the shark
Who ate the grass
You would have heard her laugh
She left without a mark
As if she was never there
Oh! But if only she was!
Gone, gone
She has left forever
To leave me alone
alone with the snails
and their sticky trials

--- For Webby my Duck

Just when you thought you knew what was going on...

My experience as a film maker

My experience making my film was amazing! I learned so much about; one, how much work goes into being a director; getting the locations right for the feel of the film; getting the right actors and crew; how hard and long it takes to edit a 5 minute film together; and the hardest thing was learning how hard it is to get my crew together at the same time to film. I had two of the most difficult people in class and this department in my film and they were fantastic. They really showed that if they wanted to do it, they could do something amazing. They put a lot of effort into helping me make this film and if it was not for them, I don't know if my film would have been as good.

To critique my film, I would have to say that there is not too much that I would change. the maine character that Jeff played was the way that I wanted; you felt sorry for him and yet, you don't at the same time. I could have taken it in three different ways; it could have had where you totally feel sorry for him and you pity him or I could have had it where you hate him and you don't like him at all or how I had it, where you like him and feel sorry for him, yet at the same time you are routing for the hitman as they beat him up. But this is the way that I envisioned him to be like.

If I did anything different, I probably would have gotten a better actress to play the girlfriend instead of myself. And I would have like to have had a car scene where he gets thrown into the car and you see him come in and out of conciseness more that just when he is on the stairs. But over all this turned out to be better than I originally thought it would turn out.

This was so amazing and cool to say that I wrote, Directed, and acted in my OWN film called Tristan!! This was the best experience!
