 Story Sequence Brainstorming

    Here are some things we have established in our project so far:
        - Main characters
        - Their background stories/history
        - Segments of our storyline
        As far as our film opening goes, we want to capture the main focal points of their relationship and its  downfall. I want to capture the way they met. In order to do so I was thinking of just capturing the first time they landed eyes on each other at the bleachers during a football game. Where everything slowed and it felt like time stopped. I also want to capture the way all the loud, roudy noises cancel out as soon as they see each other almost as if the world around them stopped existing once they met. It would help the audience almost feel what they were feeling. After that scene, I want everything to play out relatively quickly. This would play out with classical music in the back.
        Maybe something like the first couple of seconds on this track:

        This music will instill fear, sadness, anxiety, etc. This will truly portray the character's emotions during this time. We also want to somehow incorporate the fact that school was the only way they could see each other. School was their meeting and hangout area and they still did not have a label or true name for what they felt for each other. They just knew they loved each other but somehow their lives and backgrounds were so different that it was hard to take that next step into a relationship like the other school couples. Daniela did not feel good enough for him or his family after seeing the type of people they hang around. She had light brown skin with black long thick hair and he was tall and white as snow with light brown eyes and beautiful freckles. He was terrified to take that next step because Daniela's fears came off as rejections and he felt her pushing away. When the pandemic began, Daniela thought they were over until one day she is doing deliveries for her dad's company and knocks on the door to see Michael. From then, he hands her a note with a phone number she can call.
        After that, they would meet aon 42nd street close to heir school. They would walk around and talk about their lives as they hcnaged before their eyes.
