The Trainee
We were given 2 characters and 1 location to make a short film idea from.
Characters= Unemployed teenager and Bouncer
Location= Café
Unemployed teen: 19 year old Sophie who is shy and short. Her parents have threatened to kick her out therefore she is now looking for her first job.
Bouncer: 58 year old Dave, who has a tall/imposing stance as well as being bald. He has been a bouncer for his entire working life.
Café: A nightclub called "Café", based in Liverpool and is often quiet but also has its regulars.
Sophie goes to the "Café" in search for a job such as a bartender or waitress but is told that the only available role is as a bouncer.
She takes the job for the extra money until another opportunity comes along.
On her first day she is trained by Dave (the veteran bouncer for the club), immediately Dave is against Sophie working as a bouncer because she is a woman. 2 weeks into the role Sophie is left to deal with an intense bar fight alone, she sorts out the situation well but Dave is unhappy with the way she dealt with it and feels he knows best, he goes on to make it clear that because Sophie is a woman she couldn't deal with the fight the way a man could have.
Sophie begins to fall in love with the job however she feels as though Dave is trying to get her fired, through out the film Dave makes snide comments about Sophie being female. Sophie has finally had enough and goes into Dave's office to hand in her resignation, however Dave confesses that he is retiring and he was only testing her to see if she could handle the job.
