Following a discussion with my tutor, I have decided to edit my film synopsis and further refine the idea.
Dale is turning 17, he is a closet homosexual and has a boyfriend named Jo, who is openly gay. He is in his bedroom texting Jo and feeling nervous as Jo is attending his party. Dale goes downstairs, from his bedroom, to the front room where the guests are conversing and generally there is a good feeling to the party. There is some subtle talk of casual homophobia around the room, in a mix of other conversations. Joe arrives at the party and the tone changes slightly. There is a bit more hushed talk in the crowds and people start to stare occasionally. Jo is obviously feeling uncomfortable and looks to Dale for comfort. As he grabs Dales arm, someone pushes him off and attacks with homophobic hate speech. A small mob forms, shouting and offending him, outside the mob, people just watch and stay nothing. Dale is takes a step back in horror, people are asking him why Jo was invited. Dale takes Jo to the side and asks him to leave. As Jo leaves, you can hear cheering as the party resumes to its former tone. Dale receives a text later in the night from Jo, calling him an 'Asshole', or something along those lines.
Further ideas:
- Have a shot of just Dales arm on the floor with a bottle of beer just out of his hand and his phone laid across the floor. The words "I can't believe you did that last night, asshole" appears on the screen as a text.
