Well, the idea for Tramps came about after the inspiration week and having looked at the Paris, je t'aime film "Tour Eiffel" we based "Tramp Love" on this. This was basically our rough mock up of a storyline, which then turned into "Tramps" - a dry comedy based on two 'tramps' finding money on the floor, splitting it between them. One gets some food and goes to a hostel, whilst the other buys a scratch card and some booze. The scratch-card then wins, making the second tramp rich - he gets a decent meal, a suit and goes back to the same spot they sit one everday. They say hi to eachother and that is where the story ends.
It did not really have a moral except perhaps to take a chance and to enjoy your life as it gives you opportunities. Although, it would have been hard to steer away from the message that "gambling is good", which in all honesty I think for the audience we were trying to approach, they would have found their own meaning to it.
Having scrapped the idea of Tramps, we were back to base one until, Simon and his brother were chatting and saying how weird it would be if the TV followed them. The concept was simplistic yet quirky.
Gritty, feature length film "Withnail and I" was our basis for inspiration for "Lazy Days". With its bleak appearance and mundain feel, we chose to incorporate this throughout our production: sticking to its key theme of being a bum, drunk and lazy just does not bode well for the modern lifestyle. The country-western music we used showed resemblance to that of the music at 7:07min of Part 2 of "Withnail and I".
The idea that consumerism is taking over this generations' lives is made apparent in the film "Killing Time At Home", another of our influences. We wanted to convey that technology is taking over our lives - albeit in a slightly more comical way, but still hopefully getting the point across to audiences.
