This week we had group meetings where we presented our ideas to our classmates and received feedback accordingly. Unfortunately the feedback that my group received was mostly negative. Our classmates believe that the content of our film, being of immigration, is not interesting and doesn't have a strong conflict throughout the drama. Also they said that the location where we would film the opening would not be the most efficient, that instead we should film in the airport. Unfortunately, filming in an airport is not the best idea either because we can't control the setting and it will be too chaotic.
Aghhhh... So now we decided as a group that the best thing to do, is to alter the content and topic of the entire film.We would be staying within the same genre, drama, but changing the content. We were first trying to figure out an interesting conflict for the film, which will shape the storyline of the whole film, including the opening.
The ideas pending are...
- A city girl that gets into an accident and her life is changed instantly. She looses her vision and now she needs to accommodate her life to the new lifestyle.
- A girl gets into a bike accident and is stranded injured in the middle of a forest where she has to try to find help.
- An internal conflict of a girl with anxiety and paranoia. She believes that there is someone out to get her, and that she is in danger. (investigating the web, walking through the streets with anxiety, etc)
- A girl with a psychological disorder (OCD, depression (bullying), paranoia, eating disorder, phobia) and how she deals with her problem, or an event that challenges and makes her fight her disorder.
- begins with a flash forward of a girl in an interrogation room being asked questions of a crime she is accused of committing. Then resumes to the day the crime was apparently committed.
