So what is my idea??

    The time is finally hereeeee! I will finally give an explanation on my overall idea for my film opening! 

    

    So the overall idea for my coming of age film is a girl who is using substances to cope with the recent death of her little brother, who committed suicide because he felt worthless and invisible everywhere he went. The film starts with the girl in her room and it will most likely show aspects of her childhood in her room being covered by the mess that her mental state has caused. Her room will be a representation of who she was before and who she is now. She then hears her parents arguing (again) and she decides to leave the house, but as she is walking to the door she hears her name being mentioned so she stops and listens to what they’re saying and she hears them arguing about how the dad was never there for the little brother and never made him feel loved which is one of the reasons he is not with them anymore. As she hears this, you see her expression change as she is processing her feelings and she runs out of her house and bikes away from the place that reminds her of her built in best friend that is now gone. 

    This idea started as something that I saw no true potential for, but after thinking about it more and developing the plot and the character and adding the death of the little brother, I am very happy to say that I am extremely excited to see the final result for this film. 

    I have started a storyboard to help me visualize what I want in each shot and I should have that finished very soon! I’ll share it here as soon as I get done with it.
