I met with Tina today, and develop a full idea for my film. I've been working on a storyboard which I will attach below(if the file would upload, blogger isn't being cooperative with me today). So I know I want the film to start with a scene in the shower, the scene will be poorly lit only so that you can see the outline of the main character, for artistic purposes, I have chosen not to name my character, I want him to remain nameless, not to be a person but a community. I have also made the choice to not use the word "gay" or homosexual. I have always perceived labeling sexuality as such an absurd thing to do, it's a different lifestyle, but I feel it so in-tasteful to name it. Being a part of the community myself I always found it very difficult to label myself, feeling a loss of meaning in my own personal name, and being just identified as "gay". I want it to feel as seamless as possible, just a normal concept of life, nothing out of the ordinary. The audience will get to a direct insight into my characters train of thought, him talking about his feelings and fears in the shower through voice over. The scene will be short and simple and quickly cut to a scene at a party of my character and his friends having a good time. My actor needs to be good enough so that they may portray the emotion that they do not belong in the scene, there will be pointless conversations between the friends, I'm thinking of it being about about school and romance, who's with who and grades and stuff. Those scenes will be paralleled with scenes in a psychiatrist office (still working out the details of who will play the psychiatrist and where I will shoot it) as the scenes cut back and forth the character will find himself at different parts of the party ( thinking of doing a moving shot where he is just walking through a frozen room, in which I will include the second voice over train of though moment). As the audience get's insight into the character through the conversations in therapy, the film will eventually lead up to the culmination of him coming out to his closets friends. Having 5 minutes and showing so many different ideas, I need to be careful to evade a montage of shots, I need to keep my storyline clean and precise and I really feel positive and passionate about this idea. I will keep ya'll updated. I think I got this.
