Coursework Idea : First Draft

After watching a few films in the 'sports' genre I have decided to take that route as part of my coursework. I am going to make a trailer and as my two ancillary tasks I will be making a poster and a film magazine front cover for the film. My trailer is going to be based on a film in which the 'underdog' comes up on top, similar films would be Coach Carter, Dodge Ball, bring it on etc. My film is going to be tennis based. The storyline is where the previous Wimbledon champion (Played by Niaomi Twiss) has decided to take up doubles tennis and is on a mission to win Wimbledon doubles, the problem is she needs a new partner to play with. She leaves the task of finding her a partner to her coach (played by Robert Cartledge). Her coach finds her a less than adequate tennis partner (played by Lindsay Essex)
The idea of the storyline is that Lindsay is simply not good enough to compete at Wimbledon standard, she may be a good tennis player but she isn't good enough. When Lindsay is ready to throw the towel in after getting a lot of abuse from Niaomi she finds inspiration from her coach Rob and steps up to the mark. Lindsay rapidly improves to the adequate standard, but the mystery of the storyline is will she be good enough to win Wimbledon with Niaomi?

  1. A strong idea, which has the potential to work really well.

    Make sure your presentation is spot on - spelling, punctuation and grammar really help make an impression - as well as layout/colour etc, on your blog and your production tasks!
