Making a new film

I'm directing and editing a project of my own for my final university project. The concept is a guy who becomes a superhero, yeah. Like that hasnt been done before? Well Me Chris and Craig are putting our own spin on it. He's not actually going to become a superhero, but he's going to do good deeds and in his head, see it as this really epic superhero scene, then in real life is going to be helping people out in a really naff way. The Scenario's weve thought of so far include helping an old lady across the street, broken vending machines, list pets, and modern lifes little problems. Here's a overview:

Joe, in his 30s, works in a call center and gives people advice, now he is a nice guy who loves to help people out, whereas the rest of his workmates, and his boss, believe in wasting people’s time as much as possible to earn more money keeping people on the phone for longer.  One day the boss calls him into his office and gives him a warning that he isn’t doing his job the way he wants him to. Since he actually offers the customers the best advice he can give, and his phone calls are pretty straightforward and over relatively quickly, his boss tells him he needs to keep people on the phone for as long as possible in order to charge them more for the phone call.

Joe returns to his office and attempts to do what he is told, he struggles and feels dirty for doing it.

Joe feels the need to do more good in his life outside of his job, walking home he comes across a girl being attacked, and feels the need to help out. When joe is doing good and helping people, he sees himself as a bit of a superhero. And so scenes play out as joe see’s them in his head, which is, him as his own superhero saving people, and things become over the top. He manages to beat the attacker in this battle, and so expects the girl to thank him. In his head this plays out like the superhero cliché of receiving a kiss, and instead, he receives a slap in the face.

He helps a bunch of people out, Old ladies crossing the street, broken vending machines, missing pets and modern lifes little problems.

When he goes back to his work, he decides he’s going to be nice anyway, and he gets a call to the boss’s office. Upon entering his office, we go inside Joe’s head again, and they both fight each other in a “Boss Battle” when in reality his boss is having a go at him. After the battle is over, Joe decides to quit his job and move on in life, The boss’s company goes out of business after Joe’s departure since there was nobody decent working there. Joe dreams of moving to the big city and achieving bigger things.
