The film is a creative comedy called ‘Cookie Monsters,’ which revolves around an unrealistic plot which in turn adds effect to the comedy. Though comedy is the main genre, it also contains several sub-genres of dance with contrasting themes of work-out and narration through a blend of music. The influence of other films like Rocky and The Good, Bad and the Ugly, allows it to also classify as a parody. It will also contain themes of breaking the fourth wall to contribute the comedy and take away the idea of it being a serious film.
It is centred on a character that cannot be identified as the protagonist; this will be explained during the film. The equilibrium abruptly ends during the beginning. The character comes into a supposedly aggressive confrontation with another character at his college; the comedy begins to unfold as it was started by a packet of cookies. This is when the disruption takes place. Ironically enough the tagline for the post is “Tough cookies don’t break...dance?” This also foreshadows events in the film.
The film will follow the two characters as they engage in pointless challenges of exercise routines under the influence of fast-paced, hyped music. After they finish working out they go to settle the issue by...dancing. However, tension will be built up to draw attention from something like this happening, for example we will have a close up shot on their eyes to show how serious they supposedly are. The first character introduced wins and takes his cookies to buy milk. At this point there is a new equilibrium. As he goes to buy the milk he realises that there’s only one left and reaches for it but another hand goes for it as well. It was the exact same person from before, the two stare at each other foreshadowing the same event to happen again and a new disruption.
The film has an open/closed narrative which is shown when the two meet again symbolises a civilised solution wasn’t agreed upon. The timeline is also non-linear because the characters will experience flashbacks to enhance emotional effects and characterisation.
The socio-economic grade for Cookie Monsters is an E – Lower Level which is meant for students and the not extremely sophisticated. The film is set mostly in a college and therefore doesn’t apply to the geo-demographics. Neither does it apply to any ethnicity. The age group varies between 12 as the certificate on the poster is 12a to 19 as this is a likely age for being in college. So it could apply more to college students the most. This will be shown through the language the characters use which is generally informal or custom. It wouldn’t make sense having the characters to talk like sophisticated people and yet they act uncivilised and like children. There is no gender as the cast will have both male and female interactive characters.
