2. The idea
• A young boy (Tobias Johnson) and his story told visually of how he met his future wife. The movie revolves
around a bus stop down his road, he walks past the bus stop every day but one day he notices a girl his age
sitting on the bus stop. He starts to interact with her and he hands his phone number over to her. The boy
decides to put his hand over her shoulder in a caring way. She looks at him and surprises him with what she
has just yelled, ”JOHNSON!” the boy then wakes up and he is in a classroom and his teacher is yelling his
name, he was in a day dream and the girl is sitting next to him
• Same framing as the bus stop as in the classroom
