Week one, part three. 2/12

 

2/12 - Today we decided on a storyline. Coming from my last post, my partner and I have decided to go with my third idea. This is the storyline idea: There is a female character that is depressed. The opening would be her alarm going off and her getting ready for the day, and eating breakfast. While this is happening, the lighting will be dimmer and darker to portray the theme of depression. While she’s sitting at her kitchen counter, an alarm goes off reminding her to take her medication. Shortly after she takes it, she opens up a door and she is happy again. A few days ago and in the last post I said how I wasn’t sure how I wanted the ending to go, but I have figured it out so here it is: After she takes her medication and is happy again, once she opens the door, the lighting will get brighter and happy music will play. She will pick out an outfit to go to the beach and after that she will happily grab her keys, run out the door, and get in her car to drive to the beach and meet her friends. The ending will be her happy with their friends, but within the last few seconds of the film, her friend will tell her something upsetting that will once again trigger her depression.

We decided to scratch the other ideas I mentioned in the previous post because they were use too long with too much happening.
