3 shot movie – story & story beats

Adam is a funny guy. He’s what you would call a ‘nice guy’, he wears a fedora and a suit and big shoes that remind people of clown shoes everyone finds him funny but because of this he’s got very bad luck in love, since no one takes him seriously. On a sunny day, Adam is looking out of the window of his building, watching a pretty woman walk her dog in the park in front of his building. You can see the love in his eyes while he watches her while suddenly, he gets a brilliant idea.

Eve is minding her own business while her dog sniffles around a bush. She has an air of superiority and is a confident woman who dresses well. Suddenly a man side steps towards her; it’s Adam looking flustered. Eve looks him up and down and doesn’t like what she sees so she turns her attention back to her dog. Adam seems nonchalant and takes a bunch of flowers from underneath his hat and presents it to her. Eve has to look twice to realise what he has in his hand. She becomes annoyed, she really just wanted to walk her dog and not deal with a stranger, so she reaches towards her own hat, pulls out a giant hammer and BAM! Adam is squished on the floor, only his hand isn’t squished which pulls out a white flag from the hat and waves it around symbolising defeat.
