Hope everyone is having an awesome Saturday!
If y'all didn't know I am a senior in High school and so, so, so very close to Graduating... Yikes
Its been hitting pretty hard. One chapter in my life in ending and another one in begging! For my short film, I would like to harness this "in distress" energy and create an awesome sauceome coming of age short film.
However, I am Unsure which angle to take.
-a girl who is trying to discover who she is through way of her style before leaving for college. She dresses as a different stereotype for weeks at a time...hippie, gothic etc.
- a teenage girl who has been so caught up in trying to get into college that she feels she has never really experienced life. She goes on an adventure in order to make up all those experiences and ends up taking a gap year.
-a teenage girl goes on a journey to find herself spiritually
-the daughter of a priest has been safe guarded her whole life, she goes to college and goes wild.
I thought about it a little more and I think I can do a lot of cool editing for a girl trying to find her self spiritually and do a lot of artistic playful things. possibly even make is funny...
The story line:
-She is the child of a priest and feels as though her religion was imposed upon her. She feels like she didn't have a choice to choose her religion and what she wants to believe. She starts to look into other religions as well as beliefs. However, she has a hippie friend that wants to guide her on this journey. The film spans their journey as she tries to find herself spiritually. On one of these endeavors she finds her father and he is appalled, he decides to send her to a convent but then her hippie friend breaks her out and they run away to practice and believe whatever they want.
COMING OF AGE FILMS CASE STUDY:
1. Book Smart
The Main character Amy and Molly thought staying focused on only school would allow them to be more successful than their high school peers. But on the night before graduation, they realize that they have missed out on the high school experience. Determined to make up for lost time, Amy and Molly try to experience four years of high school fun into one night.
*This Film can help with my development of the dynamic between two friends and the comedic effect I want to try to achieve*
2. Love Simon
The Main character Simon hasn't told his family or friends that he's gay, and he doesn't know the identity of the anonymous classmate that he's fallen for online. This film documents his journey as he resolves both issues.
*This Film can help with the development of secrecy, keeping the truth of who the main character is form their parents*
NOTE: I was gonna add a third one but couldn't find on representative of what I trying to achieve.
Im actually really excited... i think this short film is going to be very artistic and just overall fun...CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THE OUTCOME!!!
