Day 1 of Script

     

    Today I started with writing my script until I forgot that I need to come up with a name for my film. As I sit in class trying to come up with name ideas for the entire class until my lead actor, and friend, Martina told me, "write your script and focus on that, stop worrying about the title so much." That was probably the best advice I have ever gotten from anybody for this project, and her in general.

As the day went on and after I met with Mrs. Stoklosa I decided to totally scrap the idea of Idia being french. I started to think more in depth about it, and it just seems too random. I wanted to just make her as simple and relatable as possible, so thats going to take some time to think about. I have started to write my script despite the character revamp. I want to make it a light hearted comedic opening that really shows the over all carefree, young aspect of the friend group. I have my story which is going to follow these kids around during their final year of high school coming from all different areas and moving into the suburbs. I feel like this would be really fun to make and relatable to the target audience of teens. I chose this because I understand what its like moving somewhere like a New York to the perfect suburbs like Weston. I wanted to show the duality of fun and feeling bored and now feeling like they belong. 

The difference between the two locations are drastic and can really take a toll on someone. My next blog will include pictures of locations I have in mind for shooting and pictures of my storyboard. That pretty much covers everything I did today, for now though I’m just going to focus on the script, doing my storyboard and try to figure out the title.
