I watched more drama film openings and decided to start brainstorming for my project. My first idea had to do with a character traveling between the real world and a false one, almost like traveling between dimensions. This idea required animations, which I have no idea how to do. The entire film opening would rely on the animations and I can't gaurantee that I would be able to learn how to animate in the next 8 weeks. This was a very risky choice to make, so I kept brainstorming while considering other options.
My second idea was more of a romantic drama. This would center around 2 characters that are part of rival gangs. They both have struggles in their individual families and are able to connect with each other about them. I thought it would be a good idea to make this an LGBTQ+ romance where both the characters would be girls. This would allow me to properly represent the LGBTQ+ community in my movie. I really liked this idea and started planning a general outline for it.
