I paired up with Nicki and got on with the task straight away.
We was selected with 2 characters
Character 1 (Protagonist) -Retired Navel officer
Character 2 - Plumber.
Character 1 (Protagonist) -Retired Navel officer
Character 2 - Plumber.
Location - A country lane.
Nicki and I developed these elements into a story and then worked on the pitch.
The Pitch:
Short comedy. Suzanne, a
retired navel officer, arrives at a closed road at which is Bob, a plumber.
They argue until Suzanne relaxes more and enjoys life.
Here is some photos that best describe the characters and the location.

Story:
Suzanne is a former American Navel officer. She is now retired and living in Plymouth, UK. She is going back to America to see family and friends for a few weeks, with her bags packed Suzanne was ready to go. She goes out and drives towards the airport in her comfy SUV. Stretched for time she needs to make it to the Airport without any obstructions. Unfortunately It is not her day today as she is now met with Bob, a plumber. Problems with the pipes means Bob has to close of the country lane to fix the pipes deep in the ground, although when he is met by Suzanne, Bob is actually sat at the side of the road having a cup of tea. Suzanne approaches the road closure soon getting stressed and mad, she gets out and starts yelling at Bob, arguing why the road is shut and more importantly why he is not fixing the pipes. After releasing her anger Suzanne is asked by Bob if she would like to join him with a cup of tea. She calms down and explains that she just wants to go to the airport, She realises that getting angry wasn't going to ease the situation and that she should just be happy. Bob gives her directions that divert around the road closure. Suzanne gets back into her car and follows the route, she arrives to the airport just on time. Once checked-in she boards the plane and is off to America.
The task:
The task was to ensure we have an idea that had the goal, conflict between the main characters and change. I have now added more to the story as originally we just had a pitch. The story was difficult to come up with at first with the idea of 2 random selected characters and a location it was tough trying to put it all into a story.
The goal was to show how the characters interact with each other. Suzanne being stressed as she is obstructed and Bob being calm and relaxed, getting on with his job. The conflict being the argument from Suzanne and how she is not able to get past the road closure. The change was to show how Suzanne gets calmer, she is retired and should not get upset so easily. Bob helps by being relaxed and helping her with directions. This then concludes to her getting to the airport on time, for her flight.
