Style

LOBSTER• A romantic drama.

• The film looks like it is taking itself seriously, therefore it is the content that creates an element of comedy.

• Will include soft lighting, montages of romantic scenes, emotional close ups to show love and passion and a very linear narrative to show development of feelings.

• Slightly surreal… because the lobster is treated like a human throughout the film

LOBSTERTone

and Theme

• Romantic• Dramatic• Pretense of seriousness • It is a reflection of modern

day love and the difficulties couples have to overcome.

• Love comes in all forms and no one should be judged on how they feel for another.

• Furthermore it portrays that not all love is forever and that in real life, there is not always a happy ending.

LOBSTERAudience

• For people sick of the average and over used rom com conventions.

• We aim to make it relatable to women, and so women above the ages of 20 will be the main target audience.

ProblemsThe main problem would be the puppetry/ animation of the lobster. We would consider either buying a lobster puppet or making one ourselves.http://www.bioniclobster.com/videos/Alternatively we could us clay or drawn animation to show the lobster.
