Hey bloggers,
As the days to commence our production starts to get ever so closer, it is time to decide what our final project is going be centered around. As mentioned in previous blog posts, many ideas have circulated between the three of us. However, it's time to pick one. Mental health is a huge topic of discussion in today's society, so it only felt right to make it our focal point in our project.
Our project will be centered around a young boy, who appears to be happy on the outside, but is deeply struggling on the inside. Hiding our pain behind our smiles is extremely common, as we would rather deal with it ourselves than to inflict a feeling of sympathy on our loved ones. Later on the film, the young boy will have been pushed to his limits, and will end up ending his own life
The genre our project will lie under Drama, as we document a young boys downfall, suffering from depression. Drama tends to film the emotional and relational development of realistic characters. Also, our dramatic plot and turn of events will ultimately make the film opening fall under a Drama. In an attempt to separate ours from others, I wanted to touch on the reality of human life, specifically those who suffer with depression. Many people are frightened by speaking out about real world problems, and I felt it was only right to make my film on it.
