NOTES FOR PITCH ‘Time Stood Still’ - FACTUAL/ROMANCE GENRE: I was thinking about how we are living now and thought I would use the Coronavirus as a film basis for a short film showing the story of a young couple. The film would follow a couple who have recently met at university and are enjoying the freedom of university life and the freedom to be able to do whatever they want. The lockdown is imminent and as they are originally from London and Cornwall therefore the pandemic throws a curveball at the young, dynamic couple. They both study at the University of Bath therefore as this is a new relationship, distance is the centerpoint of this film. This is a story of how the pandemic evolves over weeks and moves their relationship to a different level almost immediately as they are now together 24 hours a day.  I thought the film could be shown in independent cinemas to show limited screenings of the film. Afterwards, the film can be broadcasted on TV and released on DVD s
