Plot aspects

    At the beginning of this week, my partner, Victoria and I started working on the plot of our film opening. She is very creative, and once we discovered which genre we were going for, the plot came naturally to her and we began to build our story. 

    The plot of our story takes place in a dystopian universe where a mother and her company manager create their own social experiment in which they test the mother’s kids in. It is a social experiment where each kid is raised differently with zero outside world independent variables, and limited interactions with other people. By the end of the story, one of her kids figures out they’re being tested on and that if an interaction goes wrong in the real world, they will be exterminated. Our film opening will not include all of this, but in order to have a good film opening we had to know what kind of film we were making.

    We wanted to create a story that was original and not overdone, but also a story that would actually come out in theaters, and not be too exotic. So the film begins with camera shots of all the babies in different houses with the mom talking to them. Although we have our story developed, we have a lot of research left to do on the psychology of people like the mother.
