The idea for our film is based around 3 nerdy characters competing to win the girl of their dreams. This storyline was inspired mainly by the film Superbad (2007), as the narrative is very similar.
Although the film plots are similar, we intend to disassociate our opening with the opening of Superbad as we want our film to be distinctive and separate from other existing films.
Superbad - Film Opening
Our group was not inspired by the opening of the film, but by the characters, storyline and comical style. We chose Superbad as it was a successful mainstream film in the comedy genre that was produced to appeal to a mass audience, like we intend for our film.
Superbad is an admirable example as it shows that if our group can successfully create an opening that indicates our film is in the comedy genre, our film has the potential to be as successful and massive as Superbad.
We then compared our film ideas to the storyline of There's Something About Mary (1998), which we found that our film idea contains a similar competitive narrative for the desirable female.
We decided that this similarity is a great idea as our film would share a similar comedy style, and comparing storylines would benefit our film as There's Something About Mary is a successful and reputable mainstream film within the comedy genre.
Overall, we have decided that, although our storylines are similar to other comedies, we do not intend to replicate or mimic ideas, but to see them as inspiration for our own film and see successful ideas in other comedy films as potential successes in our own.
