Our Film Pitch. Struck By Rain.

Our film is about a woman named Sarah Bailey (played by Idina Menzel) in her thirties, she had a tough time trying to pursue her dream of being on the West end and be famous for doing something she loved. Until she stumbles across a newspaper article, saying that it is holding auditions to play the leading roll of Elphaba in the West End play 'Wicked'. She immediately sees this as her chance to make it to the West End she jumps at the opportunity and leaves no time in making the phone call to schedule her audition time. The day comes for her to make her audition, she goes there with all confidence in herself. She sings her heart hoping that this is it, that this is her chance, just to be told by the director Martin Smith (played by Hugh Janaro) that she isn't what they are looking for. She gets upset and runs out of the theatre, breaking down when she gets outside thinking that she will never get a chance like this again. She believes that she will never be good enough to get on the West End. So she decides to give up trying. To make her mood even better it starts to heavily rain she is drowned in wetness. She wishes her life away, and wishes she could live her life like a musical, hoping that it would end happy. As she is trying to hitch a cab she gets splashed by a passing car, which drove through a puddle. Whilst wishing her life to be different, and getting splashed by a car. There is a struck of lightning above her head. This changes something in which will all be discovered later on. She wakes up the next day not knowing that her life was any different so she carries on with her day. Until she tries to leave her apartment door which she finds herself being attached with questions...'how does it feel'...'do you think you'll be the next best thing in the West End'...'are you coping with all the shock'. She finally starts to question what is going on, she is very confused by this point and starts to realise that something in her life has changed. She carries on with her day, trying to figure out what it is. She gets some very strange looks while she is doing her daily routines she bumps into a handsome young man that she surprisingly recognises, he happens to be the director that was holding auditions for the part of Elphaba. She starts talking to him, starts getting to know him and eventually starts to fall for him. Still getting swarmed everyday with questions from people, and people asking for her signature. She starts to ask herself if this is the life she even wants to live. She gets bored of the fame, gets bored of the life that she is currently living and tries every way possibly to go back to how she use to be. Realising that she would lose everything, including Martin. She goes to work one day finally realising that this definitely is not the life that she wants. So she quits the theatre business and walks out. Only to find that when she gets outside it's a massive down pour of rain exactly like the day she got rejected from playing the part of Elphaba. She hails a cab, gets in and just breaks down. The cab driver recognises her, and asks for her autograph and she cries...'no you cannot have my autograph i am just a normal girl....i want my life back to the way it was. I WISH i was me again'. She goes home and just goes to bed, still wishing for her life to be normal. She wakes up the next day, no reporters. No posters of her around london. She goes to the theatre and finds Martin, she then asks him out on a date.
