Ewan's film ideas.

1) A action/drama about an aggressive trainee boxer, the movie begins by developing the character as reckless and aggressive in his fighting style. After the title sequence the coach takes his time to teach the main character the uppercut, a technique he finds pretty hard to master through the times he trains with his coach. He goes back home in a dimly lit alleyway practicing on a punching bag he made himself using the uppercut. Each shot is short and snappy, continuously cutting shorter and shorter with each swing to capture the frustration in the character's actions, with a few cuts maybe of him shouting to the sky for some divine miracle to help him practice his uppercut. He stops and thinks over the battle tomorrow with his opponent, crying next to his punching bag. The day of the fight, and both contestants are ready, with bags under the main character's eyes. The first two fights don't start off well, with the opponent managing to manoeuvre around the main character's attacks. He attempts the uppercuts over and over and the opponent catches on with his pattern, almost knocking him out near the end of the second round. 3rd round, main character changes attack pattern to gain the upper hand. As the opponent gets backed up into the side, slow motion activates to show the main character's thoughts as he repeats the first steps of the uppercut perfectly. As everything seems to go in his favour, he misses in the last second and ends up getting knocked out in the end. The films ends bittersweet with the main character losing the fight, but feeling he has conquered himself and his mentality.

2) A comedy about an author goes on to write a story, what the story is about I don't know just yet. On the following day he becomes a major hit, but he does not know why. he continues to write his stories blindly and they continue to become cult classics. Through the movie his assistant gets more and more tired every time she's in shot, with a twist that she is the one staying up all night re-writing his stories and then sending them off to publishers to make them. Through the film I want to set up the author as a very narrow minded person who likes to shout a lot and disrespect others, including his assistant, so when he comes to find out his work is no longer his own at all, He takes it upon himself to ask for forgiveness. The film ends with the author becoming the new assistant to his former assistant, who is now the lead author.

3) The entire film is set in one location, a comedy about misunderstanding. The main character is sitting on a toilet, from the cubical next to him a man talks to him and they continue talking, and the main character opens up to the man on the other end, using flashbacks to extend the limit of mise-en-scene. It turns out that the man is on the phone to his wife and says to the main protagonist "can you please be quiet, I'm talking to my wife"- the main character widens his eyes to the realisation he interrupted on an entire conversation that wasn't his own with clapped hands over his mouth and under the rim of his nose, as the other man leaves his cubicle, and the movie fades to black.
