New Idea - Speed Dating

After struggling to think of ideas for which direction to take the mockumentary style film, I decided that it was going to be particularly difficult to actually create something that would use documentary style camera shots and a blockbuster style plot and story line.

Therefore, I have devised a new idea, one that I can plan out to how I want it to look.
My new idea will roll with the working title of 'Speed Dating'.

GENRE:
Rom-com, with realism-style camera shots, close-ups and hand-held cameras.

MOOD:
Light hearted, with a relatively serious message behind it (much like a lot of rom-coms).

STORY:
Jessica unlucky in love, and has not had good experience with past relationships. After deliberating with her best friend, and seeing an advert for a speed dating event, she decides to give speed dating a go. She meets some unforgetable characters, some forgetable ones and she also meets two people who stick in her mind. She spends time with both, and falls for the wrong man, the one who doesn't treat her as he should and then eventually she realises who she would rather be with.

I think that this is particularly conventional for rom-coms, for example The Holiday, where women characters are struggling to find the person who they really like.
