Props and More!

Our goal in this new film opening is to allude to the conflict (her parent's disapproval of her dream and wanting her to go to college) and introduce main character's passion (modeling). I don't want to give the whole opening away, but we are focusing a lot on mise-en-scene. The opening will take place in Daniela's house specifically her room. In her room, there will be pictures of models on the walls and fashion magazines depicting her passion. Then, there will be college pamphlets and SAT reminders showing her parent's pressure on her to go to college.


I feel like this idea will appeal to our audience because teens/young adults are at that stage in their life when they have to decide what they want to be. We especially think the teens will be able to relate to Daniela because high school is a tough time for most teens. Going through adolescence, figuring yourself out, and planning the future, it can be challenging. There are parents who put pressure on their kids to be what they want them to be and ignoring their dream. Or, parents who will support their kid no matter if they want to be a cashier their whole life. Here we want to discuss that because its something that is definitely does happen. My mother wanted to be a ballerina and my grandmother made her become a dentist. 

Anyways... here are some of the props we made up and will use in our opening!

Mariana and I will finish setting up the room tomorrow. We wanted to film tomorrow and get it over with, but our actress can't. 

It's been a bumpy road, but I am sure everything will be alright!
