So…
Our idea took a bit if a turn after meeting with our professor.
Original idea: Originally, our idea was to create a short film about summer love. It was going to start out with Nati looking at pictures on her phone at a cafe of a group of girls enjoying their beach day together. She cooks in, and the picture becomes present time. As the girls are sun bathing and taking in the perfect beach water, Nati, the protagonist catches herself looking over at this boy not too far away. As the girls walked out of the water, a boy approaches them and asks if they were up to play volleyball with him and his guys friends. The girls say yes since they have ran out of things to do and enjoy the company of teenage boys. As they approach the boys, Nati realizes the boy she kept glancing at was there. They begin to play, and throughout the match, Howie, second protagonist, and Nati keep looking at one another. As Nati got tired of the game and left, Howie, of course, joined her. They converse in a playful manner and seem to have a strong tension. The whole group of guys and girls decide to go to eat, and while doing so, Natis ex-boyfriend approaches her and obviously, annoys her. When Howie realizes, he stands up for her. She finds this very admirable, and from then, they exchange numbers before they depart after the dinner. Soon after, clips of them hanging out and having a romantic/fun summer together are placed. We still didn’t know specifically what yet, but that was the idea. Towards the end of the short film, Nati finds out Howie had a girlfriend the entire time. They get into a huge argument and in order to “explain himself”, Howie asked to meet up at this cafe. Shortly after, we’re taken to the same cafe the short film started with and Nati is seen looking at the pictures of her friends and her situationship throughout the summer. When she realizes it isn’t worth getting hurt, she leaves and the film ends.
After talking to our teacher and proposing this idea, she gave us some advice. Long story short, we realized our short film idea was too long. It seemed more of like a whole movie as opposed to a short film of 5 minutes.
New idea: So our new idea is still similar to the first, but it’s much more realistic for the time frame we were given.
As shown in the pictures, the whole beginning remains the same up until the restaurant. Instead of going off all together, Nati and Howie leave off on their own to eat. Nati picks a restaurant and they enjoy their time and converse with one another. After that, they’re shown walking around the beach together talking some more. Here, many shots of the setting will be taken, as beautiful visuals are crucial in these types of films. Later on, the two watch the sunset together and while talking about their futures, flirt some more, and share an intimate moment, they get interrupted by Howie’s girlfriend that Nati had no idea about. The ending, I’m still not sure, since we’re still developing the script. I’m sure it will be amazing! We cannot wait to show more than just a snippet of our script!!!
