Happy Saturday!

As the time to start filming is nearing, Onil and I keep second guessing what we our film opening to be about. This might be a little alarming as by now, you would think we would have our idea ready and polished. In my perspective, I think our struggle to settle will in turn mean that our project will be meaningful and creative rather than quickly rush into things. This could potentially cause some setbacks as we have to stay on track, and not wait till the last minute to do or come up with things.

In my second posting, I mentioned that horror was the genre my partner and I were interested in, but then we decided to research drama and we still think this will be the best genre for our film opening. We really want our opening to be honest, showing real emotions. Drama entails these elements perfectly as they really enhance the characters, as well as problematic situations.

To continue, for our film opening we brainstormed some ideas and we came up with one. In this opening, will introduce our main character, a teenage girl who is dealing with some problems at her high school, moreover bullying. We believe that we can perfectly represent this as we, ourselves have dealt with similar issues. Not only will we be spreading awareness of this topic, but we will include how one can overcome it even when they think they’re all alone. In the series, 13 Reasons Why, Hannah (The main character) committed suicide. This show was very popular because many teenagers were able to relate to what Hannah went through, before deciding to take her own life. Onil and I want to deliver a message through our film opening, this topic means something to us.

Xoxo,
