P1- Proposal

Synopsis:

'Pizza Boy' is a mockumentary based on the common job of a pizza delivery person. The short film follows a pizza 'boy' on their usual rounds of delivering pizzas, during the course of their shift the delivery person and 'film crew' is presented with a var
iety of different customers to be dealt with. The character of the delivery person themselves is used to present a persona who is often overlooked. This includes the manager of the pizza shop not even being famiiar with their own employee. The short film is a comedy but also represents how younger people in society are often overlooked or treated badly because of their age or occupation. I hope that our short film presents a message to audiences to be more considerate of youth in the future.

Running Time:

The short film will have a running time of up to approximately 5 minutes. Any higher than this will take the short film out of our allotted time but we have planned for this and so our film should have no problem not exceeding this number.

3 Key Scenes:

Key scene #1- Our first key scene is with the manager of the pizza shop. This scene features an interview between the interviewer and the manager, questions about the pizza boy's performance are asked to which the manager is confused as they are not even sure who the pizza boy is. This scene details again the message of how often young employees can be overlooked in the work industry.

Key Scene #2- The second key scene is a one on one interview with the camera crew and the pizza 'boy' in this scene the audience get a better insight into the character and why the documentary is taking place.

Key Scene #3- This scene is one of the multiple interactions that the delivery person has with a customer. This particular scene uses a customer of a higher status who almost belittles the delivery person. Again this highlights the message of inequality we are trying to show.
