POST #25 - PLOT SYNOPSIS [COURSEWORK]

Heyoo!
SO, Emily has written the plot synopsis! Check it!

"

This is the plot idea for our film opening:

The film opens with our character bolting out of bed. Bleary-eyed, he looks around, expecting to see his Pulp Fiction posters. However, the room he sees is not his own, and the walls are covered with Captain America and Panic! At the disco posters. Confused, he stumbles out of bed and discovers that he is fully clothed. He is wearing his neon windbreak, over a pair of blue dungarees. His backpack is still over his shoulders, and his skateboard is securely tied to it. 

Contents of backpack:

• Gameboy.
• Skateboards.
• Paper fortune tellers.
• Pokemon cards.
• A Supersoaker.
• Furby.
• Tamagotchi.
• Hubba Bubba reels. 
• Crystal Pepsi. 

He runs downstairs yet finds that his parents are not there, and he is in somebody elses house. A woman appears, but she is not his mother, and he shoos her out of the house, thinking that he is a burglar. He stumbles outside and squints in the sun, when his eyes adjust, he is instantly shocked about what he sees- he sees people using iPhones and Apple watches and is stunned- he has been mysteriously transported to 2017. 

This is our idea about the rest of the film:
After the opening, our character skates to the library to find out what he is to do next. He finds out that he must travel to Japan in order to get back to his own time.
To get the money for his journey, he sells his classic Tamagotchi. Along his journey, he falls asleep and has vivid flashbacks of his own time- It is the 27th of May,1995, and the character is in his living room. He is arguing with his mum and he storms upstairs in frustration. Whilst upstairs, we see that there is a huge storm brewing outside. He throws himself onto his bed and begins angrily playing on his Gameboy. Suddenly, a huge lightening bolt hits the house and it all goes black. 
Back in 2017, he wakes up when a stewardess is shaking him awake- he has arrived. He journeys across Japan until he reaches the mystical person who can send him back to 1995. He enters the persons home to find that this mystical man is not actually a man- he is a computer. After a long discussion, the computer tells him that he was taken from his time in a freak electrical storm that ripped through 2017, into 1995. The only way to get back to his own time is by riding the freak storm and it turns out that to do so, the computer must enter in a particular code and date that allows him to send him back to his time. However, alas, the computer is old and broken and is missing several important components that are essential in this process. The most important piece missing is the '9' key off of his keyboard- he simply couldn't enter in the date 1995 without it. 
Because of this, the boy is sent off again, and is tasked with searching for the all-important '9' key, which he soon discovers, is in the hands of the local Japanese mafia. He stumbles into the mafias dwellings and they assume he is an undercover policeman, and hold him hostage. He manages to escape as the gangsters find his awful 90's slang hilarious, and they make him an honorary member of their gang. With the '9' key safely in his windbreaker, he skates back to the computer and is just in time, the electrical storm has just begun, an has created a bridge between the two time frames. The computer enters the code and wishes the boy luck. In an instant, the boy is ripped out of 2017 and is spun through the time vortex. He is flung through the years, and we see time unfurl backwards. Everything goes dark. 

Dawn breaks and our character bolts out of bed. Bleary-eyed, he looks around yet doesn't see his posters, and instead sees a regal portrait of Queen Victoria. He throws off the covers and realises that he is a huge four poster bed, draped with rich purple sheets. The door slams open, and Queen Victoria herself arches in. She spots the boy and screams for her guards, and the boy screams too. The end. "
