Synopsis of Romantic Comedy. Main Task

I guess it's wise to create a film that stick to the genre conventions, as it is easier to identify what film genre we chose as the basis of our film.


Characters

Kate - Blonde hair and blue eyes, sports reading glasses.  Meek and has a wry smile. Uses dry or dark humour, cynical but deep-down a hopeless romantic.

Mark - Brown hair, brown eyes. Popular but resents his popularity; he feels it pushes him away from Kate and has been in love with kate since they were children.

Joseph 'J' - Childhood friend of both Kate and Mark, funny, quirky one, dies in teens.
Mike 'Monster' Jones - Arrogant, cocky, jock. Mike's suffering from depression but tries to cover it up through humour
Tony - Boring, but incredibly handsome assistant to Kate. Kate and Tony date briefly, Kate breaks off the relationship; but they remain friends. (Mark suspects Tony of being gay, but is ambiguous if he is in fact a closeted homosexual, or, if Mark is just jealous)
Britney and Bobbi - Lesbian Couple. Britney is the soft-spoken, charming, uglier of the two. Bobbi is angry, sarcastic, pretty and self-deprecating. They both love to give relationship advice, despite their relationship being on shaky grounds.
Stacey - Attractive, ambitious, but dumb assistant to Mark. She has a crush on Mark. They have a one-night stand and she is left heartbroken.


Synopsis


A group of three kids who spend years as friends together, from age 6, in playful abandon to hanging out with each other in their mid-teens. Then... one day Joseph dies in a tragic skiing accident. The death of Joseph destroys the friendship as neither one can bear to see each other, when they look at the other all they see is Joseph. Years later they meet, (coincidentally) at a party for a Manhattan magazine company, as Mark has just been appointed at the magazine where Kate works, and this an introduction party for Mark. They repair their broken friendship. After a couple of months, Mark confides into Mike (his best friend that he met in New York) and confesses his love for Kate. Meanwhile, at Kate's apartment, Kate is receiving advice from her friends, Britney and Bobbi (known as the Black and Blues), suggesting she goes on a date with Tony. Kate is reluctant to the idea of dating Tony at first (she recognises she has feelings for Mark, but doesn't believe the feeling's mutual), she then agrees to go on a date with Tony. They both enjoy themselves and each other in these series of dates. Once Mark hears the news of Kate and Tony; overcome with jealousy, has sex with Stacey. Couple of weeks later, Kate informs Mark that she has broken up with Tony, and he tells her about Stacey. Kate is disgusted by Mark's behaviour, an argument ensues resulting neither party talking to each other for weeks. Mark wanting to apologise to Kate and confess and profess his love for her, approaches her house with flowers. Kate ushers him in. Mark gets straight to the point: he apologises for his actions to both Kate and Stacey; he the opens up to Kate and states the reasoning of his actions. Kate tears up and also proclaims her feelings for Mark. They share a passionate kiss. The film fades into ending credits.
