Brainstorming!

     The brainstorming process for us was a little tricky. Throughout the class period, we were trying to come up with different ideas that we wanted to do for our 2 minute film opening. We were hemming and hawing trying to come up with an idea that would stand out. We came up with many ideas regarding the plot, main characters, and something that we really wanted to incorporate was representation. We are still kind of stuck on what we really want to do with our film. We feel that doing a musical is really challenging, but we want to stand out from the others and step out of our comfort zone. 

We brainstormed on a bunch of different ideas. We wanted to have a "small town" setting with the main character who has an identity crisis. Taking place in contemporary time she is going to have a 90s astheitc along with being apart of the LGBTQ+ community. This makes her an outcast and stand out from the others. 

For the production aspect, we wanted to have a casting call for dancers who could potentially take part in flash mobs or be extras in out film. We also came up with ideas to use a drone for footage for something different. 

    For the music aspect, our fellow group member Andrea is going to compose orginal content. We thought it would be a good idea for us to use our own talents and incorporate it into something more. We want to use diagetic and non-diagetic sounds to introduce the main character. The theme song created will have an impact on the main character expressing her itch to make it far into the industry.
