Initial Groundwork for the Story

After sharing my research with Jonathan from my previous posts, we came to one concrete idea that we could do for the film opening. The idea proposed is a character-centered story which has two succinct events ongoing that serve as a juxtaposition to each other. The story revolves around one main character who we know will be male and probably be in the age range of 18 to early 20s, as we are the actors. The story itself consists of him doing a heinous act (possible attack, kidnap, etc.) and that will be paired with more a more upbeat side event that we are still working on. The part of this that stuck out the most was my proposition for using the song Breakfast in America by Supertramp.


This song is rather upbeat and has a lighthearted meaning to it. Paring this with a combination of scenes will develop the character and his intentions/motives and mindset from the beginning. Now ultimately the events going on and the song will serve as juxtapositions, strongly developing the character throughout the opening.
