Plot and Outline

 Plot Explanation & Outline

Plot Details

As a group, we have fully decided on a detailed plot. With our coming-of-age genre, we wanted to go for a more serious plot. In our plot, Character A is our main character, she has a little sister, who is Character B. There is also another character, a very close friend of Character A, who is Character C. It is important to mention that names are still to be decided, I most likely will be making a blog about the name decisions. In our opening, the approach is to introduce our characters. In the 2 minutes, Character B takes her own life due to a situation in which she is being blackmailed. This is something no one that surrounds her is aware of, not even her own sister. The rest of the film, that we are not capturing, will be about Character A's discovery of what really happened with Character B. 

Our Story Outline

In class, we decided to also draw out our story, as a way to better understand our ideas. This also is going to be really helpful in our planning because we will know if we need people outside of our group to act. I believe this is one of the most important steps in developing our opening, as well as storyboarding which I will have a blog on as well to further explain our ideas. I will include the actual notes below, excuse the mess. 

Planning it out on just one piece was very hectic and we kept switching ideas but I am glad we were able to put our ideas together and decide. In this paper, we have included all the things occurring in our opening and some of the locations we plan on using. We also felt it was important to write down the ideas we had on the music or sounds we were adding.

I will be back soon to discuss the naming of our characters, show the storyboard, and explain every action in more detail. See you all soon!
