Project Idea

     Okay, so my main idea for this project is to showcase Mallory, the main character, and what situation she is in. The main purpose in the movie, she comes to the realization that her parents are not going to be there for her like when she was littler. Though that will happen later on, I just need to hint to that in my opening introduction. Neglectful parenting with an unknowing child, essentially.
    
    The idea for the introduction is that Mallory is setting up for her own birthday. That in itself seems a bit sad, but I plan to edit the scenes of the birthday set up with warm and bright coloring. A bit ironic right? It should be. Mallory is supposed to be represented with excitement; despite the circumstances she acts happy to be doing the set up alone.  The plan for me is to get multiple shots where she peaks around the door for her busy mother, or out the window to an empty driveway as if expecting someone. Essentially, multiple shots trying to represent a form of yearning for attention. 

    When I make script and such that, it may not be much but there has to be some because of how this will be filmed. I will try to use dismissive types of script for interaction between her parents and her. My main issue is that everything sounds a bit corny, I'm getting there, but writing a script is not my specialty I have come to learn.

    My major inspiration? There never was this one movie, game, or show. I truly do not watch or play any teen drama anything out of my own will. The funny thing, I find teen drama movies boring and slightly harsh to watch. Like love movies, though that is just my preference. So why am I making this type of movie? Because I can and it is very feasible for me with the amount of time given to me. I am not stunted in this field any bit either.

    How am I doing a type of introduction for a movie I do not watch? By asking a question. What does every stereotypical teen drama movie with neglect have? Horrid parents or a rebellious teen, even both. I am leaning towards bad parenting and a sheltered type of child. That was my question and my answer. Pretty straightforward, right? Well, the words do not account for the amount of planning that I do. My favorite, planning.

    But anyways, you probably have the idea that I am going for now. I'll leave this off here, dear customer. Until next blogpost which I will spoil by telling you it is my storyboard. You're welcome and happy daylight.
