Title:
Notes

Duration:
5 minutes

Audience:
We have classified our film as a 12 due to some explicit gestures but the audience our film aims towards is people slightly older, aged between  18 and 30. However it may appeal to some people from the younger age range. 

Certificate:
The certificate of our short film is a 12. We originally classified the film as a PG but we added a rude gesture to the script so have reviewed the classification and decided a 12 would be better suited.

Distributor:
One distribution method we have looked into is the Cofilmic film festival. It would be great to have our short film shown here as it would reach the desired audience. This method of exhibition would also get our film viewed by some desired distributors who may decide to distribute our film.
A possible distributor for us to use is FutureShorts. This would be an ideal method of distribution as FutureShorts is a global distribution website. The site allows producers to set up screenings of there film in the local community.

Synopsis:
See a house, a man and woman live inside, they are not speaking to each other, there only communication is through sticky notes. (Flash back to the argument to find out why they are only communicating this way) The man is seen on the phone, calling his friend. We see both sides of the conversation, the friend is on his x-box. The conversation moves to how things are at home and he explains about the argument and there current form of communication. The friend suggests a lads weekend away and he agrees. When he goes through to the kitchen there are notes left for him to clean up. When they go to bed the man leaves a note for the woman asking her to wake him up at 7 so he can meet his mate for the weekend away. The woman agrees to wake him up. The man wakes alone in the morning to look at the clock and see it is 10am. As he rushes to get ready a note falls to the floor, WAKE UP ITS 7 O'CLOCK.

Suggested Elements:
One unique selling point of our film is the communication method of post-it notes. This could be a good marketing point for our film as people may be intrigued as to what has happened to create tension between the two characters and why they are communicating in this unique way. People may be interested in how we are going to use the post-it notes so that the film doesn't get repetitive or boring.
Another element of our film that could help it sell is the genre. Domestic comedies are quite popular so hopefully the film can gather a large audience due to the comedy factor.
