This was one of the first scene lists i created with 1 other member of our group (Gabi Kingsley), it will probably by alterd once it has been discussed with other group members.
We also came up with the film title - Five Card Charlie. We came up with this film title be researching Blackjack slang and terms used in the game. We found these on Ildado.com. Five card charlie in blackjack terms is a blackjack rule variation where if you get 5 cards without busting, you win that hand. We picked this particular term out of all the others because we thought it had a good ring to it and we imagined it would be a catchy film title which related well with out film.

Group Meeting
We had a group meeting where we discussed our ideas and scenes. We came to the conclusion that there was just to many story strands to narrow down into a short 5min film. So we desided to take the basic idea of a boy trying to get a girl and take it in a new direction.
This is the scene list we came up with



Second Scene List
Scene-1
Max and Ryan are sitting in a room; Ryan is staring out window at girl. Max tells Ryan there is no way he could ever get her and Ryan is telling him if he had certain things then maybe he could.
Scene-2
Max and Ryan walk out room and are standing outside, they hear the girl telling her friend how her and her boyfriend just broke up, and starts to describe her perfect boy. Ryan and max over hear the conversation and Ryan begins to hatch his plan.
(Suite, good looking, nice body, cool hat, laid back personality, charming & most importantly an amazing smile and someone who makes her smile) – Ideal man
Scene-3
Ryan goes out to try and achieve the girls ideal man, with max’s help.
Scene-4
Ryan finally gets everything together, approaches girl with a cheesy chat up line dressed in the way she had described her ideal man. Girl laughs, rejects Ryan and walks away.
Scene-5
Next day Ryan comes back, back in his normal clothes. Girl spots Ryan and realises how hard he tried to impress her. Girl smiles at Ryan and scene fades out.
We desided on the title Smile because the girls ideal guy is just someone who can make her smile and smiles at her too. We also felt it gave a warm feeling to the film and it was a nice simple title.
