I am working in a group with Billy Turner. We are working on a film opening about a young girl, who has a dull and miserable childhood. She has no friends at school and is sometimes bullied, her home life also isnt secure. However she soon finds a friend in a boy from the local area. Set in a mucky urban area, the story shows the two of them become friends and the girls life become better and better.
We plan to use our friends/siblings for help as characters in this and we plan to use their actual names for characters. The main character being called Alisha and her friend Sam.
The place we intend to set the opening is Ponders End as it is quite an industrial/urban area. I will post photos of possible locations in a different post.
Inspiration for our film openings comes from Fish Tank, Adulthood/Kidulthood, Submarine and The Perks Of Being A Wallflower. All of which show teenage lives, in a abstract perspective. Fish Tank would be most similar to our opening as it is set in similar settings and has a similar tone to what we are hoping for.
