Research And Planning - Proposals And Treatment - Proposal Two


Proposal Two-

There is a guy named Jake who is from a very strict background, his dad is retired from the army and has very old fashioned views. He expects Jake to follow in his footsteps by marrying early to a high-class woman, starting a family, and then joining the army. However, Jake develops feelings for his childhood best friend Chase, who feels the same. Jake knows that his father would disapprove of this and is terrified of the thought of him finding out. Chase is cuddling Jake on the sofa when they believe Jakes father is away- however, Jakes dad comes home early and catches them. He throws Chase out and says the two must never see each other again; he beats Jake up and says he will be thrown out if he continues with this relationship as it is "not right". Unable to forget Chase, Jake is thrown out of his home and does not hear from Chase again. A few years later Jake is homeless, when he sees a couple passing. The couple is Chase and his wife- Chase, doing well for himself, throws a penny at Jake. Jake looks up and says "thank you" there eyes lock together and they recognise one another, there feelings come back and it is evident nothing has changed. The end of the film concentrates on the two trying to rebuild their relationship, ridding of Chase's wife, and building a stable home.


Cinematography & Sound - 



  • High key lighting of the couple at the start- when they are beginning their relationship
  • Low key lighting when Jake's father gets in the way
  • Diegetic sounds when Jake is homeless, eg, dogs barking
  • Fast paced music while the two are being broke up
  • Low key lighting when Jake is homeless
  • Slow meaningful music when the two come together again  


As the trailer is a 12A we will not show too much of the violence of fathers homophobic behaviour, as this may be 'too much' for them. However there will be subtle hints to what is going on which will be engaging for the 15 audience.
