Story Idea

Today, me and my group discussed our actual story idea. To me, this is one of the hardest parts of the film making process. We established a genre already- drama. So we tried to think of a conflict and we kept in mind that the character needed to be connected to the audience. While thinking about this, we decided to produce a film that would relate to us personally. A film about the school system. First we thought about how our school system could have a negative effect on us. We disagreed on how to portray it. Two of my group members wanted to do it from a first person point of view with the camera being the eyes. I felt that with this idea we would have trouble getting to know the main character.
    After debating how we would deliver this idea, we decided to move to another plot. We got the idea of having the main character as an adolescent who is trying to pursue a career in acting. Her struggle is shown throughout high school. Her dream is unrealistic and many people tell her that her dream cannot come true.
    So, in our film opening, we have the idea to introduce the main character mainly but also introduce the conflict.

Next, we will work on the character development, getting to know our character inside and out.
