THis evening will be my third Writing For The Screen class in Wk 6. In our last class, I pitched my Cupid #27 to my small group and the reception was pretty good. People thought it is very original and they like the Cupid#27, the character. Ritchie afterward suggested Ben, a DOP, to me. He was being really helpful and we talked a bit about production. He has a whole lot more experience then me and gave me many valuable advice and suggestion.
My discussion group consisted of Megan who told me has been writing screenplay for a long time, almost a decade and uses Final Draft, the industrial standard screenwriting software. I am using the free Celtex. There were also Rowan and Daniel also along with Ritchie who works at the equipment shop (so he knows everyone basically). They want a happy ending for Cupid#27 and it was only over this weekend and then today that I finally came to it.
At the end of the movie, #27 and #6 are sitting together at a cafe table eating lunch as usual. #27 spots a girl and says something. The camera shows #6 is ready with two arrows one for #27, the other for the girl. #6 says, "woah, looks at her eyes." #27 looks into the girl's face, he gets shot and an arrow shoots at the girl, into her chest.
#27 and the girl (and I have Tristen in mind, the actress I worked in for Distance) fall in love. The last shot is a close up of #6 talking to the audience:
Music start playing.
It looks like the movie is ending yet there is one last shot the pull backs to #6.
"And this is how you do it" (or something like that)
Music begins again.
Party atmosphere music.
