Hi blog! So, my group and I took today's class to finalize the first draft of the plotline for the entire movie. We know where we are going to cut it off, but here is the summary!
The movie starts with introducing the three main characters, Aurora, Kai, and Sam. Kai drives a white mustang and makes that very clear by the way they show it off, and Kai is a "nerd" for things such as DND and other fantasy stuff. Sam has a huge crush on Aurora, however she is in a relationship with Kai, the "bad boy". Aurora and Sam are neighbors, and the opening scene that we are creating will take place outside of their houses to establish that. Kai clearly does not like Sam, and vice versa. We decided to have Sam be the main character, although the main focus for the intro will be establishing the opposing view points of Kai and Sam.
The part of the film we will not be creating, but we vaguely planned out was that Sam and Aurora would become good friends throughout the film and eventually Aurora will realize that Sam is a much better person than Kai is, and they have much better chemistry. Sam 's character will also change to be more focused on being social than being a loner because he finds that its the only way that he can be with her.
The film will have subtle LGBTQ representation, because it is something every person in my group resonate with personally, so we would like to include that. We are going to have Kai be dressed masculine despite the actor being a girl, and possibly use they/them pronouns for Kai. Aurora will also have a character design that is queer coded, such as dyed hair, many accessories, etc. Sam will also have many typically queer interests such as indie bands, DND, comics, etc. The film opening will include crosscuts between Kai's car and Sam's bedroom, to show the two character's different aesthetics and interests.
The character of Sam is going to be a talented artist, and they express their crush on Aurora through creating a comic, where they are the knight in shining armor, she is the princess, and Kai is the villain, who rides on an evil dragon, to further play into their fantasy obsession. I am really excited to expand more on their characters, because it is genuinely really fun to come up with their personalities and wardrobes.
Here's a character mood board for the three of them:
