The Story choice

The New Kid 

    In class I talked to Ms.Stoklosa and we discussed an idea Yoav came up with. The story is about a kid who has just moved to a new country and he is trying to find his place and fit in. 

    The goal of our film intro is not to be cheesy but have symbolic representation that the kid is new. To represent that the kid is new to the place show him in his new school getting lost, or show how all the other kids are talking to their friends but he can’t talk to others since he is new and had no friends. Another way to show he is new is once he is home maybe show how he can’t find a light switch or how he is bored due to not knowing what he can do for entertainment in this new place. Another thing to show that the family is new is showing empty rooms with unpacked boxes. In the room of the kid show the unpacked boxes but show how he has only unpacked the things that are important to him and tell us about the character more.    

    Ms. Stoklosa gave me an example I could watch to give me an idea on how I could implement all these elements, the name of the movie is “The Florida Project.”

 

 The reason Ms.Stoklosa recommended to watch the Florida project is because it will help us develop an idea on how to properly execute symbolic representations like the ones we are trying to represent in our story.

Now that me and Yoav have an idea on what we are going to do we are going to start planning our production for our film entry starting with the storyboard and casting.
