You know that feeling when you go to Cheesecake Factory and don't know what to order because there are too many options composed into a book-like menu? Some dishes are even opposites of each other, like the southwest salad and buffalo chicken bites, but you just can't seem to make out what type of flavor your body is craving. Ok before I delve too much into this analogy (I'm hungry, can you tell?), let me get to the point. Today, Cheyenne and I brainstormed. (sidenote: Cheyenne is my partner with whom I am conducting this project with. I may have forgotten to include that in my last post under the assumption that everyone knows her). We created a Google Doc in the attempt of staying organized and this was the result:
As seen above, disorganization was inevitable as the flow of completely uncorrelated ideas kept flooding our minds. Trying to determine the setting first and branch from there, we decided we wanted our film to take place at the beach, due to it's accessibility as individuals residing in South Florida. This idea failed because all we could think of were shark attacks and surfers. We then progressed to developing a character as a foundational basis. This failed as everything we thought of seemed to be a cliche (girl-next-door, rebelling teen, disjointed family, etc). Eventually an idea dawned upon us, which completely differs from our coming of age desire-a mystery film.
