The best films come from a lot of planning and brainstorming... and we've been doing A LOT of that.
As my group and I sat down and started voicing our thoughts and ideas, we realized just how many different types of movies there were. They range from horror, mystery, comedy, drama, action and more, but It's more than that, its also the type of theme and style that goes into making a great film.
We flirted with different ideas and eventually decided drama would be the best. I mean think about it, four teenage girls are producing a film, so what better film to be made than a drama, the teenage girls strong suit?
We then started to think of what type of drama we would want to film, and what would be easiest. Although action drama is successful, proven in the new film Logan, it would be too difficult for four teenagers to film. We also discussed that a movie with a message is what drives an audience to watch a film.
My group also discussed making a satire drama that was about the stereotypes of certain races and secretly addressing a bigger issue. We were also considering doing a dramatic film about an outsider breaking out of his or her shell and doing something great.
There's this film called Moonlight, was nominated for eight Oscars and ended up winning the Best Picture Award (no biggie right?). This film is a gay African American boy and his life growing up. When a movie has such a strong message, it will stay with a person forever, and that's the type of movie I would want to create.
As you can see we have our work cut out for us, but I cant wait to see where this leads!
