After a week of arguing, we finally have a synopsis!

So the final group consists of myself, Kai and Darren. After pitching our ideas and thankfully excluding children from starring within our film, we have come to a final descision thanks to Darrens creativity. This is the very first synopsis, consequently, it is highly subject to change, enjoy:


"Five Pound Pablo" - (personally, this is what I think it should be called, need to consult the team!)
Being found at the bottom of a penny jar, the thriving five pound note is released into the unbeknown streets of London town. First, being in the hands of a young teenager addicted to smoking green, the note is eager to be set free from the drug scandal. Next, he encounters the wallet of a wealthy, 24 year old business woman on her way to work. As she gets off the bus, the note flies out of her jacket pocket and she doesn’t bother to pick it up, but carries on to work. Lastly, the note is picked up by a homeless person who savors it for an endless amount  of weeks (passing of time conveyed in a post production time lapse). Finally, he uses it to buy himself a porn magazine and the note is then trapped into the shopkeepers till. The film explores the value of a five pound note, and how people from different cultures, backgrounds and classes value the note differently. Also, challenging stereotypes of people within the unwritten classes pyrimid. The narrative is driven by the voiceover of the five pound note (being the protagonist) and everything is narrated from his point of view. The film has obvious comedic tones within the script, but a serious underlying message. 



Oh yeah, we just need a name for the short film now...
