Synopsis of 'Drop'

Synopsis of our short film 'Drop'

In our short film called 'Drop' the story is revolved around a middle-upper class couple who are going out on a date, however they are already in a long term relationship, this isn't their first date. The story starts with alternate shots of the man and women getting ready for the evening involving things such as the man putting on a tie and the women putting on lipstick, these being shot from different angles. Shortly after this the man rings his partner to discuss a time for him to pick her up.

After the phone call the next stage of shots begin which is at a different location, the car will drive into the entrance of the country club and we'll take several close up and long shots of the car driving down the private path with views of the golf course and clubhouse as the scenery is gorgeous. From there the car will park and the couple will get out the car and walk up to the stairs which overlooks the fountain with some dialogue. Following on from this the couple walk through the clubhouse to the old fashion lift which then takes them down to the floor the restaurant is on.

The couple proceed to the restaurant where they sit down and the female offers to go up to the bar to order the drinks and speak to the waiter as she is secretly having an affair with him. Once the drinks are brought over to the table by the waiter the couple engage in conversation. Little do they know that the male has been poisoned.

Once it cuts to outside after the drinks we see shots of the couple walking to the car park chatting, once the male opens the car door he collapses, his partner is stunned and surprised as to what is going on. We see the waiter looking out from the window at the couple. After this a flashback to inside the restaurant shows the waiter dropping a pill into the males wine glass and we see the waiter read something on his phone which explains his actions.
