Movie idea finalized

     I have finalized what the general plot of the full movie would be! I spent all day watching trailers, film opening and full movies trying to finalize some details.
     The movie starts off in the streets of Miami, Florida, introducing the main characters, revealing each's personalities separately.  We learn that Chris (our main male character) is an aspiring artist who wants to get more out of life. He feels somewhat dissatisfied with his life because it just feels like its missing something (or to later find out someone). After meeting Chris we bump into (literally) Angelica/Analis (I don't know which name I want yet). We find out she has always faced challenges in her life trying to throw her off her path of becoming an architect. She is so hung up with getting out of Miami and growing up, she realizes after meeting Chris, she is missing out on some of the best years of her life. They meet as sophomore and junior in high school, and become the closest friends. Going on fun adventures and being with each other through some life changing moments for each other they grow closer. Through this all they end up falling in love with each other and being exactly what they have been missing in their lives for each other.

     Before I came to this conclusion, I watched When Harry met Sally,  and The End of the F****** World ; studying how they went about with story telling styles. I think the use of multiperspectivity in the first episode of The End of the F****** World gave the audience the opportunity to see the main characters as individuals to show a contrast to when they became a couple. I also believe that with a similar use of time cutting like in When Harry met Sally, you can fall in love with the characters separately, and understand later on problems they face when being a couple.
    I didn't just research movies that dealt with story plot though; I watched different bits and pieces of the movies Mulan and Stranger than Fiction to study editing and animation techniques that I could potentially use. Since I was a little girl I have always loved Mulan, especially the films score and painting introduction into the movie. Stranger then Fiction in my opinion is not a good movie, but I do have to say the precision of detail, especially in editing, is definitely something worth ripping out of their books. Using similar techniques, I would like to use an animated drawing technique for the main male character (but probably something more along the lines of Diary of a Wimpy Kid movies rather than Mulan so that they look more like sketches than paintings) to show his artistic ability, and use a similar pop up statistics graphic for my main female character.
     You may have noticed but I still have one dilemma, I'm terrible at names! Much like Nora Ephron, I am finding it immensely challenging to think of a title for my movie! Hopefully I can figure it out by my next posting.

That's a Rapp on this posting, till next time!
