Proposal


In life I believe that students should explore all the possibilities around them, in order to find what they want to do in their future. My film will show this in action by following four high schoolers' experience as their class goes to compete in Guam. There is a culinary class that is going to a cook off in Guam to cook against all the other schools in the Pacific region. If they win they will be compete in a world-wide event. The main conflict in this journey will be the teacher, who is pushing to the students to cook faster and better. Then the conflict will be the students against other students in the competition. The structure of the film will be determined by if they win or not. Ultimately I want the audience to feel empathy for the students.
The sequence’s expected to happen are the class is going to practice cooking, they will have a fun raiser in order to come up with money for the trip, ride an airplane to Guam. In Guam they have a few days until the competition, so they can explore a bit. Then anticipation for the competition. Finally they day of the cook-off. If they win or not. The trip back and lastly a month later recap to see how they changed.
The main characters are going to be the students. Megan, Nancy, William, and Samantha. Megan is the manager of the group. She’s primarily looking at the clock and making sure the kitchen is functioning properly. Megan, also, prepares all of the written documents for the class. I know Nancy, she use to work at the same pool as me. In the class she will be working as the second in command. Nancy knows how to prepare all the dishes by heart. William and Samantha are the grunts. They prepare all dishes, clean, if something goes wrong it will most likely fall on one of them.
The audience should be entertained with my piece. The students have some funny personalities. Megan is in a culinary class, but doesn't like eating most vegetables. Nancy is a fantastic cook, but will refuse to cook. William sees himself as the best cook, yet he has to do all the grunt work because he's the newest in the class. Samantha is lighthearted and careless, and hopefully starts to bug people out. Outside of entertainment, certain groups may evaluate the film to see if these type of competition are worth the time and investment from the school. In those situations I would rather the film to avoid.
