Now that my group and I have finally been able to meet up to discuss our project (we've each been absent a few times the last couple of weeks due to illness) the ball is finally rolling! Overall, the hardest part was definitely starting the actual plot. Deciding on a genre (coming-of-age) was much easier said than done. Coming-of-age is the type of genre that can fit into any movie category, which is what made it so difficult to come up with a plot idea, there were so many options. We decided the plot should be centered around a character vs. self conflict, have the character lose herself throughout the duration of the film which leads to bigger problems in her school life and her relationships.
Finally we came up with this:
Throughout this process we decided that we wanted our protagonist to be a senior in high school. This is because wanted to use her realization of her soon transition from high school to college as a motivation for her actions. Below are notes I jotted down as we brainstormed ideas for the plot of our film.
For the opener itself we decided it should highlight Jordyn and Amelia's friendship and the beginning of Jordyn's bucket list plan. We also decided we wanted Jordyn to break the fourth wall in some sort of way whether it be speaking to the camera and directly addressing the audience or addressing the camera as if she were making a video diary. Below are a few notes on how my group and I want to set up our opening scene.
