Mariana and I knew once we picked the idea of a short film, we would create a romantic story. We’re both hopeless romantics that enjoy rom-coms and dramas/romance movies. We’re also both familiar with the romance genre. Last year, I did a few romantic films for myself, as well as my classmates. Mari also has experience with films like these.
So far, we’ve developed the story about 3-4 minutes into the film and a draft of the script.
Our concept for the romance film is about a girl being “reminiscent” of her summer break with her friends and new people that came into her life. It shows her at the beach enjoying her day with her friends, when suddenly, a group of boys go up to them and ask to play volleyball with them. Little did the protagonist know this game would change the rest of her break. A romance sparks amidst the game, and this spark continues throughout summer. With some minor conflicts, along with the climax, we’ve created not only an intriguing love story, but one that keeps viewers on their toes.
Although we haven’t begun our research on genre, inspiration, and more we still have ideas of them all. For instance, a films aesthetic we believe matches our very similarly is waves.
This is only one amongst the many films we’ll be analyzing to gain techniques and insight for our film. We’re still developing and planning ideas of mis-en-scene, color hues, transitions (audio and visual), etc. Finding films with similar concepts make the process much easier as we can learn from them.
Since we’re still developing our story, we’re still stuck in names. We believe it may be smarter to create at the end, but here are some ideas so far.
“Be There in 10”, “Feels like home”, “Love by the Sea”, “Love You to Lose You”. Although these are all form fitting, none of them give off the feeling we’re looking for, therefore, we’ll come back to the title further on. We’re so excited for the progression of ideas throughout this creative journey. :)
