Duration – 5 Minutes
Audience – Likely to be certificate 12a, but would have to research
Synopsis – The film starts with the main character, Chris, packing up his belongings in a suitcase (This includes things such as laptop, clothes, phone.. etc). The shot then cuts to a black and white handheld shot, where he is joking around with his girlfriend. The two begin to kiss and say their goodbyes. Chris puts the rest of the things into his car, and leaves his girlfriend stood in the road waving.
As Chris is driving, he films himself (again in the same handheld shot, black and white), talking.. Similar shots and interesting locations are chosen to make it appear like he has travelled a long way.
On the side of the road, there is a girl walking in the terrible whether, a walking stick (broken leg perhaps?), and a distinctive pink suitcase. Chris pulls over to the site of the road, and offers her a lift. He offers her some coffee from a flask as she is obviously freezing and wet.
As the journey continues, Chris and the girl becomes closer (Over the span of a couple of days), and they continue to use the handheld camera as a source of him documenting his journey.
Back at the hotel room, Chris is in the shower. The girl is in the bed (presumably naked, under the sheets), and starts to rummage through his things.
As Chris exists the bathroom, in his towel.. he notices she isn't on the bed. Infact, she isn't anywhere.. and he notices that all of his things have gone (His phone, laptop.. and even his handheld camera!). He runs out into the corridoor, but realising he is still in a towerl quickly retracts back to his room. He puts on some clothes, and runs out of the hotel.. only to see her getting into another car (Again, with the crutch and the pink suitcase).
Chris' phone begins to ring.. it is his girlfriend; he cancells the call.

This idea is good because...
- It has a unique storyline
- The handheld camera is unique
- It's an unexpected twist at the end
- It give lots of opportunity for nice shots
We disregarded the idea because...
- We were unable to develop the storyline thoroughly
- There were too many things that couldn't be explained/weren't obvious
