In and Out

Our initial idea for 'In and Out' was a dark storyline following a loved up couple destroy their relationship through their temper, anger and jealousy. Once we watched the short films in lessons however we decided to take this story from a different angle. Making it more of a comedy could really twist the story and make it more realistic.

Tagline: You think you've met the man of your dreams - then you wake up!

Treatment: Josh and Beth met through friends and hit it off straight away. They got on really well and had a lot in common. They had been dating for quite a while before deciding to take the relationship to the next level and move in together. Things were going great! They had his and her dressing gowns, ate the same cereal and Beth always had dinner ready when he came home from work.

Although, a new job promotion for Josh lead to late night drinks celebrating with his colleagues and a new female boss in the office. Beth sees the signs and isn't a fool but doesn't know if she's strong enough to leave? With his late night antics and Beht waiting up for his return home - things get heated and she confronts her suspicions of him cheating.

For this film idea we saw it to be more of a funny outlook on a man cheating on his girlfriend. Like the typical wife waiting up for the man to come home and sitting in the dark; but when he tries to creep in thinking she's asleep she quickly turns the light on and he stops dead...
This reminded me of a scene from the film white chicks where the woman's husband had been out drinking with his work mates and she switches on the light when he arrives home. This visual adds humour to a heated situation and i think it would be really fun to re-make.
