I finally have my project idea pretty much thought out, I will say, I had a hard time deciding on how to include coming of age aspects in a film introduction, but I think I have it down.
So the entire story (or at least the basics) is a world ruled by one central government, this government is allegedly doing some bad stuff (haven't really decided on what though), so they force citizens to do daily mind wipes and use propaganda to discourage creativity and "out of line" thoughts. The protagonist (whos name I still need to figure out) allegedly sees something and tries leaving hints of what they saw, in the end result of the plot the protagonist figures out the awful thing the government is doing and starts revolution, of course, not much of this is going to be incorporated into the actual film opening.
Film opening
what I was thinking for the opening was black screen before like sudden waking up, character stumbles around a bit to the bathroom of their house ( cold lighting ), the camera kind of drags in rotation to focus on the protagonist, in the background you can see some like sketchbooks and other things that signify rebellious behavior (kind of coming of age aspect??) , in their bathroom, the mirror is government mandated and displays propaganda and is the "mindwipe" machine. The protagonist notices some pencil marks on the side of the window that serve as a hint to them knowing something (or something similar I'm still moving stuff around), title (RECOLLECTION) pops up for a good few seconds the main character notices this and starts questioning / acting confused before a robotic voice from the mirror alerts them of their actions and notifies authorities, main character acts confused for a few seconds before a doorbell is heard (end of opening)
I feel like this idea could use some polishing and tweaking, especially since I feel like some parts just dont make too much sense, but for now thats the idea, I will keep yall updated !
my blog is lowkey better
