10 Minutes
The film follows the main character over the course of an eventful day. There are two sides of the film both displaying differents paths taken by this main character. Path 1, the character forgets to set his alarm on the day of his final exam, therefore waking up 10minutes late at 8.10am, this is then followed by a series of unfortunate events which ruin his day and potentially his future as it causes him to eventually miss his final exam. Path 2 his whole day then rewinds back to the start, whereas this time he remembers to set his alarm, allowing him to wake up on time at 8.00 am, and due to this 10 minute difference, the main character manages to avoid the unfortunate events, he had encountered when he had woken up late, which has a much more positive effect on his day.
The narrative structure of this film was very much influenced by the german film 'Run Lola Run'. Unlike normal hollywood mainstream films which have a common beginning, middle and end, this film follows an unusual pattern.The beginning will present the time, the setting and the key characters of the story, and portray their lives in a ‘normal’ situation. This initial ‘normality’ is then broken by some kind of event or action which alters and distrupts the sequence of events.
We really wanted to play on the fact that certain decisions made, can have a huge impact on our lives, even the smallest detail can make a huge difference and this is something that we never think of or even realise.
