Film Planning: Initial Ideas

For our first task in film planning, our group had to create ideas to base our film on. As a group we decided to create 6 different ideas, before expanding our 3 most favourite ideas. Here are our 6 initial ideas:
Idea 1

• Main character in the scene is an older gentleman/ younger man who ,for an unknown reason which will be revealed later in the scene, cannot race.
• This character will be placed in the grandstands.
• The opening scene will mainly consist of the character flashing back to when he was racing.
• During this there will be a voice over by the main character whilst he reflrcts on the past.

Idea 2

• Main character will be someone who is currently racing. He will either be at home or in the garage in this scene.
• There will again be a flashback but this will be to his childhood and how he grew up around cars.
• There will be a voice over during the flashbacks as with Idea 1.

Idea 3

• The main character will be someone of young age, who aspires to be a racer much like his father/grandfather who died whilst racing. The two characters would have never met.
• Shots of trophies and newspapers will reveal how successful the relative was in racing. 
• Introduced to the relative when the younger character watches films of him racing.

Idea 4

• The main character of the scene will be a mechanic, who will be working in the garage on the race day. He aspires to be a driver. 
• Performance is lacking as he dreams of being a driver.
• Voice over included once again.
• The mechanic could possibly be in the grandstands.

Idea 5

• The main characters will include two rivals in racing, possibly team mates (Rosberg vs. Hamilton rivalry) 
• We would follow one particular driver and his version of events.
• The scene will involve press and will be set at the beginning of the race or the preparation, where there is some tension between the rivals.

Idea 6 

• The main character will be a marshall at a race, who could be involved in an accident which occurs on track.
• This could either be a flashback or could trigger flashbacks.
• The marshall could be an ex-racer which could be reasons for the flashback (accident in racing).
