Following our group meeting and presentation of our film treatments today, we have been assigned to make the "Sperm" Film. Below is a copy of the treatment we presented, and I have also added a "Durex" condom advert, as inspiration to our piece.
The Race of Life.
A struggle seldom seen, put into human perspective, as a sperm chases an egg, to find his happiness.
Darkness. Slowly we hear on the sound, muffled noises of love making, building slowly louder and clearer until the sound of orgasm bursts through, and the screen is thrust into bright white light.
A shot of a city slowly fades in. Into the picture walks a mime, dressed in all black, T-shirt and trousers wearing a white mask, or performers leotard, holding a large cardboard cut out of a sperm. The shot cuts to follow the man moving backwards as the sperm moves slowly throughout the city, up an escalator, in the window of a bar, at the park, at the train station, drinking coffee and looking at a map with glasses on. We see the man holding the sperm slowly moving down the street and then suddenly stop dead in their tracks. The shot then moves behind the sperm and man, to see at the top of the street, another mime, this time holding a large cardboard cut out of an egg. The egg looks left and right, and slowly crosses the road, and out of the cameras sight. The shot cuts back to the sperm, who is still for moments, then begins to sprint after the egg. The chase continues through the city, the egg always in the distance as the sperm weaves through people, tripping, stumbling through the bustling crowd. Falls to the ground, and loses sight of the egg for a second and it vanishes. The sperm moves to the end of the street. All of a sudden in a great rush, a bicycle zooms past from his left hand side as he is looking right, the egg is on it. The sperm grabs the nearest bike to him, and pursues! He rounds a corner, and see’s only the egg’s bike on the floor. The egg is nowhere to be seen.
Shot fades in of the sperm on a bus, looking sad, and depressed. Steams up the bus window and draws a picture of him and the egg on it, holding hands and smiling. He gets off the bus at the next stop and stands perfectly still. Directly ahead of him is the egg, with another sperm, holding hands and kissing. We see a close up of the sperms body, and a broken heart is slowly drawn on it.
We next see the sperm walking disheartened along a road. He takes a seat on a bench, and sits there alone at the left hand side. We hear a scream and a noise, and the sperm looks up. It’s the egg and the other sperm, which is dragging the egg along, occasionally lashing out at her.
Our sperm watches this, slowly creeping behind them, following them. He moves slowly, but keeps close. Finally, as the other sperm is about to lay another punishing blow to the egg, our sperm strikes! He attacks the other sperm and forces him away from the egg, which now has cracks all over its shell. He wins the scuffle, the other sperm fades away, and he looks at the egg. Shot cuts back to the steamy bus window and the drawing that the sperm had done previously. There is now a love heart around it, and it says underneath it “Sperm & Egg 4eva!”
Shot fades out.
I want to create a comedy feel within this project, by use of actions, shots, locations and situations that the characters are put into. I’d also like to use a variety of colour in this piece to reflect mood.
My target audience for this piece is mainly comedy fans, of all ages. I feel that this piece will be particularly good for fans of sketch show comedy programs such as Little Britain, Monty Python etc.
