Basic story idea

We twiddled our thumbs and put our heads together to come up with a general idea of what our story could actually be about. We mostly talked about what clothing would be relevent to the time period and what pieces of the clothing we said reminded us of the 60s, that we actually had. (a list of all of final clothing used will be blogged later.) We also mostly had ideas about what music we liked from the period and how that could play into the story. The Rolling Stones, Jumping Jack Flash was mostly talked of and hummed mongst us two as we sat and wondered what it would sound good to. I had the idea of someone biking up and down a hill whilst this music played, they bike struggling up a steep hill only to have to come back down again because it is the wrong way, bike tumbles back down the hill or he is sliding back down the hill when it appears as if he is biking up it. Slapstick comedy that was too direct and laughably funny. Jack had the ideas of showing a vinylplayer spinning around playing a song, more than likely we were hearing Jagger again, and there would be cigarette butts and used condoms spinning around on top of the vinyl. Ideas then developed into drug and sex related humourous ideas involving heavy drug use and a humourous number of naked girls. The idea short lived due to the reality of not being able too actually do either of these things. We knew we wanted a shot of a vinyl player somewhere in the opening credits, and we knew we had to have a close up of a burning cigarette and of a male applying makeup to his face. We just tried to elaborate off of that.
