After many changes on my ideas, genres and so on, i have finally rested on the genre that i will stick with until the end of the project. This genre is rom com.
Initial Idea
A boy named edwin, he is good looking, clever, is doing very well for himself but the one thing he doesn't have which he really wants is a girl.
Anna has everything, the looks, the grades, the friends and lately the hottest boy in the school.
The film will start with two production titles. During this a alarm clock will be going off.
The first shot will be anna waking up and turning off the alarm clock. She will get up and the opening will be her getting ready. They will different shots of her. waking up. getting dressed, brushing teeth, putting on make up, breakfast, turning on some music (the backing song will then start at this point), putting on shoes.
At the end of the opening. The two characters will be in school. And anna will smile at her boyfriend (the jock). Edwin will mistaken this as her smiling at him. So he will make a fool of himself and anna will go over to the jock laughing. End of opening. Last shot will be of edwin looking very embarresed.
This introduces a comedy aspect as well as a romance aspect to the story.
I made a second animatic to go with this idea, They is a slight change with the ending of the opening on the animatic then on this post. To found out more about animatics look at one of my previous posts on animatics.
Here is a screenshot of some feedback.
Its important you try to find an example of an actual film where we follow two characters at the start, not just the central protagonist
