Five minute film treatment - Unpredictable

Title: 
Unpredictable

Duration of the film: 
5 minutes

Detailed synopsis:
A man called Brian is just normal person, living a normal life. This is until one day however, when he wakes up for what should be a routine day consisting of college.It is after waking up when he falls over and bangs his head on the wall. Consequences are soon to follow, of course. Brian then begins a run of luck that see's him win bets and things seem to go his way. We see his friends, oblivious to his new-found 'skill'. They believe it to be pure luck that Brian is having. But of course, no one is this lucky. All seems well for him. This, of course, has to end at some point. On such a good run of luck, Brian fails to predict what is going to happen next. After winning at a poker night, he is hit by a car and killed. This gives the film an ironic twist, in which he predicts all of the good things that are to happen to him, yet fails to predict his death. 

Audience:
We distributed a questionnaire on the internet, giving the participants an idea of our synopsis and what the film is in general. Our results showed that the ages of 15-20 years old preferred our idea. Also, 70% of the participants who liked the film were male, as opposed to the 30% of females. 80%  also said that they would find short films at the cinema, before a film. Most said, having looked at our idea, that it was a drama. 

Suggested elements:
