At the beginning of this week, my teacher assigned us into groups to help each other out with each other’s presentations. In my group there was six people: Gabe, Nicholas, Adil, Beatrice, and Ana. We “presented” our plots, shared our blogs with each other, and helped each other out by giving out suggestions.
Gabe’s idea was “Not sure about idea yet, has a couple options. Like relaxing at his house after a long day of work and he goes about his day. He then gets a phone call from a mysterious person, once he answers the voice says, “YOU HAVE TO WAKE UP! WAKE UP NOW BEFORE...” and then the man wakes up.”
Nicholas’s idea for his plot was “One idea was a zombie apocalypse with 2 survivors in a forest running away from a monster on a dark, foggy night and they stop running after a couple seconds thinking they escaped. The 2 survivors start walking with the map they got of the park and then they suddenly hear the sound of something breaking but don’t think much of it. They suddenly hear a monster creeping up onto them and the scene would end with the zombie on top of the person about to eat them.”
Adil wanted to do a “A godzilla inspired film, given by Stoklosa due to the fact that our group had no idea what to do. The setting takes place in a dark forest (Mark and park), story dynamic may be derived from Jurassic Park (T. Rex Escape scene) and how science will be humanities un-doing (Life finds a way) Take the new Jurassic world rebirth trailer for example, the new abnormality that is the main focus is a dinosaur called D-Rex/Deformed Rex (Image to the right) This can be a mirroring towards my film as my monster escapes from containment as scientists got too full of themselves and thought they had full control over the monster.
Ana had thought about a “A girl who just turned 21 and went to the beach to drink and celebrate her birthday with some people who she thought were her friends; (There's also a scene where she is in the car with her friends getting to the beach) she gets really drunk and one of her friends takes a picture of her lying on the sand and posts it online. The picture becomes viral, and her parents found out that she was in a bad state and no one was helping her.” A helpful tip for Ana suggested by Beatrice was, “I think your movie examples are good but maybe you should offer more analysis and responses with depth. This way you can learn more about how to use things and what to add into your opening. Maybe try to research more recently produced films, to have better examples.”
Beatrice’s plot was about “A girl gets cursed and is watched by a killer, she is trying to break the curse. The curse feeds on depression and can be broken with happiness and love. She is depressed because her mom passed away a while ago and ever since her dad has been taking out his anger on her, making their house unsafe and their relationship weak. When she gets cursed, we see a tattoo appear on her, its matching with the killer. The title will be seen when she's looking at herself in the mirror, distraught, after being cursed.”
All of these plots are direct quotes from them available in our shared word document.
They also offered me assistance on developing my plot like, for example, Beatrice suggested that the main character, Maddie, have a special pen from her old best friend that moved away and she’s very sentimental about it, and will only write in her diary with that specific pen. I really liked this idea, so I told my group about it, and they liked it too, so we might incorporate it.
