Intro to Main Characters

Good news!!! after a long brainstorming session in company with some friends and me pitching various ideas for the film opening... I have already developed the complete idea of what it is that I will be doing for this project. However, before explaining the plot and everything else to its complexity to my readers, I have decided to do it through segments to reveal each feature of the idea properly and make it easier for the public to comprehend. I will begin in this post, in which I will illustrate my main characters that will be portrayed in the film. First I will provide examples of I would want or have imagined the person to look like; and then I will demonstrate the chosen candidate, his/hers background history and importance in the film.

It is time for me to explain the idea that I have settled in for the movie opening. After the long and exhausting process of brainstorming what to do, something that leaves the audience wanting more and creates a sense of mystery I decided to add a Snapchat editing filter of bubbles and visual illusions to convey a contrast between reality and fantasy. To make it dynamic, I will include a fast-forward and a flashback consequently to each other by only depicting the main character but at three different stages of his life: adulthood; childhood; and adolescence. This movement in time back and forward will add action, confusion, mystery, and overall dynamic to the film opening. NARRATOR I made the decision to have a narrator voice-over to add a sense of deeper meaning to the life of the main character, and to the occurrences in his life; as well as to invoke reflection through the young and immature voice of the speaker talking about insightful topics.
