Short Film - Pixar's Geri's Game (Sneak Peek)
1. 1) Age, Gender, Characters: Late 70's, male, 2 (Old man plays both sides)
2) Locations: One (The Park)
3) The problem: There is no one else to play chess with at the park.
The solution: The old man plays against himself with a different personality (White is conservative, black is competitive)
4) Length: 1min, 30sec
I liked the short film because I thought it was funny how the old man played both sides of chess with a completely opposite personality.
2. Yes. The short could be made into a two-hour film. There is a main problem in the short film but a temporary solution. The problem being that he has no one else to play with because the park is void of other people to challenge. The short could be lengthened by adding the arrival of a new character that can match the old man's skills in chess. Then the whole film would be about how their relationship strengthens by just playing a game of chess for x amount of days.
3. My favorite feature-length movie is Glory. There is a scene where the commander of the Union Army was seeing how his regiment of colored men had terrible infections and their feet and finds out the problem as to why his soldiers have these diseases.
Beginning: Commander sees their ruined feet.
Middle: Commander confronts quartermaster who is in charge of distributing shoes for the army and demands boots for his men.
End: The regiment is given boots and socks to wear to prevent any more diseases and infections on their feet.
