Production Sheet

Final Synopsis/ Detailed Version

As a group we read over the first synopsis and discovered some elements that could be improved. We made some minor adjustment and added more detail so it's easy for us to understand the clear concept.

Detailed Synopsis

 

The narrative follows the story of a five pound note, being passed between three people between the space of six minutes. Being captivated inside a children’s piggy bank, a young teenage boy forcefully smashes the jar and releases the thriving five pound note into the unbeknown streets of London town. Fifteen year old Leroy takes the five pound note to the local corner shop, to invest the note in Caribbean cola, guava juice and sweet chilli Thai crisps. Being exceedingly pessimistic, the note is forced back into darkness, eager to meet his new occupant. The note then encounters the hands of a wealthy business woman, who is reluctant to receive the note as change after buying cigarettes, due to its crippled exterior. As  the elaborate mistress swiftly jumps in a cab, the five pound note flutters through her hands into the gutter, the cab then drives off. Taking each step at a time, dragging his belongings behind him, homeless Minty approaches the note. Snatching up the five pound note, Minty takes it back to his corner to rest for a while. Time passes by and a sumptuous young lady passes Minty, dishevelled and raunchy images are flowing through his mind, illustrated through facial expressions. Remembering he has the five pound note, Minty heads straight to the corner shop. Skimming through the shop, he heads straight for the obscene section of the magazine rack. Riffling through each magazine, he chooses one suited to his tastes, and purchases it. The note is reluctantly trapped back into the till and Minty walks out the shop, dragging his belongings beside him. The film explores the value of a five pound note, and how people from different cultures, backgrounds and classes value the note differently. Also, challenging stereotypes of people within the unwritten classes pyramid. The narrative is driven by the voiceover of the five pound note (being the protagonist) and everything is narrated from his point of view. The film has obvious comedic tones within the script, but a serious underlying message.

Brief Synopsis

"Five Pound Pablo" - (personally, this is what I think it should be called, need to consult the team!)

Being found at the bottom of a penny jar, the thriving five pound note is released into the unbeknown streets of London town. First, being in the hands of a young teenager addicted to smoking green, the note is eager to be set free from the drug scandal. Next, he encounters the wallet of a wealthy, 24 year old business woman on her way to work. As she gets off the bus, the note flies out of her jacket pocket and she doesn’t bother to pick it up, but carries on to work. Lastly, the note is picked up by a homeless person who savors it for an endless amount  of weeks (passing of time conveyed in a post production time lapse). Finally, he uses it to buy himself a porn magazine and the note is then trapped into the shopkeepers till. The film explores the value of a five pound note, and how people from different cultures, backgrounds and classes value the note differently. Also, challenging stereotypes of people within the unwritten classes pyrimid. The narrative is driven by the voiceover of the five pound note (being the protagonist) and everything is narrated from his point of view. The film has obvious comedic tones within the script, but a serious underlying message.
