Right I'm going to try and write my first script..and although I'm still young and inexperienced I feel that I have a good idea on my hands.
I'm from England and I want to make a sitcom. Well at the moment I'll just write it and then when I become experienced enough to film it then I will (Or I'll sell it on)
The main idea is for a sitcom. I want to do it in the same style as "Spaced" which is directed by Edgar Wright and writen by two of the Co-stars of the show, one being Simon Pegg who is also the star (and Co-writer) of the Rom-zom-com "Shaun of the dead"
I'm guesing quite a few of you are American so you may not know what I am on about but I've soley taken alot of my ideas (not copied but using the same style.)
To make it easier for myself and making it more of a joy to write I've decided to write the sitcom using references to my own life and to things that I like.
The main idea for this sitcom is that a young man, living in London has hit an all time low. He's started to lose trust from his friends and family for being unreliable,lazy and basically a failure. He has a love for comics and in a way it is one reason for his downfall. He has become such a fan of these comics that he has started to forget too much about his REAL life and is spending his hard earned money and time on comics and the things he likes rather then his friends and family.
Through the course of the run of the sitcom the main character has to figure out where his responsibilities lie and get to grips with life. Whilst over coming realistic and unrealistic problems the main character has to make a choice. He either gets to grips with his life or he throws it all away..
That is the MAIN synopsis of my sitcom. It is a first idea but I like it. I will expand on this idea and I have a few scenes in mind. Using my knowledge on famous films and comic references I'm going to make sure that I include the use of these scenes. But even though I will focus on comedy I'll try and make a balance between comedy and the real issues that we are dealing with as well.
So, what do you guys think for a first timer?
