Cambridge I can’t even lie, coming up with our project idea was not easy. Every single time we had an idea that we thought was good, we would share it with our group and it just sounded horrible. However, with the help of our group meetings with classmates along with meetings with our teacher we were able to create a better opening film.
The original idea was about a basketball game where the main character keeps missing shots even though he has good form. He ends up getting benched by the coach and feels that no matter how hard he tries, someone else is always better. There was supposed to be a montage of him practicing, making bad jokes, and working out, but in the end he still misses. The story was about trying hard but not always improving. After hearing all the criticism from our peers we knew we had to change it.
The new version is simpler and focuses more on the character. It starts with what seems like a big game, but then it turns out to be just practice. After training, he talks with the coach and has a moment with his mom where he remembers his dad. The last part shows him working out at the gym with no voiceover, just natural sounds. Instead of just showing a big improvement, it shows his struggle.
My takeaway-
The main change between both versions is removing the montage and not having as many voiceovers. The middle part will be the most challenging to make interesting, but it will help develop the character more.
