hey everyone, I am currently 3 scenes into my first feature length screenplay and I've had an idea which i thought i'd run past the helpful eyes of this board first. But before that I'll give you a brief synopsis.
The story focus's on three 20-something men named Andy, Kevin and Gavin (here is a picture I have drawn of the three http://www.deviantart.com/view/5101734/). It's a very character driven story about 3 friends going against a record company which has forgotten about the heart and soul behind music. Storywise, the film centres around the boys organising the demise of said record company.
Now for the film, i want to show the boys organising the job and such but the audience won't know what the job is. But what I want to do (mainly just so see if i'm capable of it) is jumble up the order of the film (a la Pulp Fiction) but I wanted to see if you guys thought this was to cliche? I plan on making this film myself after film school (assuming I get in) and I don't want it to be something where people see it and go "completely ripped of Pulp Fiction" or something.
So hit me with your comments and advice and hopefully I can begin some serious work on this soon.
Thanks!
