MDA2100 - Step Outline


This is the step outline I have written to go with my pitch idea, 'one night only'.

‘One Night Only’
1.       Sean lies in his bed looking at his phone as an unnamed, man leaves his bedroom, he re-reads the text he received, stating the end of a relationship, and with an almost resigned reaction, closes his eyes and tries to sleep.

2.       Sean is in the shower, vacant look, as he gets ready for another night out. He contemplates texting the boy who broke up with him earlier, even starts writing a message, but he deletes it and continues getting ready.

3.       He comes back from the club with Jonah. They passionately kiss and drunkenly start to sleep with each other.

4.       Waking in the middle of the night, Sean goes into his kitchen, and has a drink, starting to cry, as he thinks about how the meaningless encounters aren’t helping him.

5.       Hearing the crying, Jonah comes in and they begin to talk about Sean’s history with men and why he has so many meaningless, drunken encounters.

6.       Towards the end of the conversation, Jonah says it’s too bad he has to go back to Australia, as after getting to know Sean more, he sees they could have been good together.

7.       Jonah leaves and Sean sits, contemplating recent actions. He slowly starts to clean his messy flat, tidying away bottles and seems more hopeful, and happier as a person.
