CHANGE IN IDEA
After a meeting with my group we have decided it would be best if we changed directions in terms of the project we will be doing. Instead of filming a thriller film, we have decided to take more of a comedic approach to this new idea. All of us are big sports fans and are very familiar with the comedic scene in the film industry and we thought this would be a great opportunity to combine both of these aspects.
Summary Of New Film Opening
The new idea is centered around this high-school aged basketball player that is comically bad at basketball, During the opening we are going to show him trying to get better at basketball and perfect his craft. We were planning to show this through the use of personal trainers/coaches, the gym, and possibly other effects. We didn't want the entire opening to be about his progression and the sports side of the story, so we planned to have a scene that lets the audience in and hints to them at the main character's motivation for playing basketball and why he puts all this effort into it. We are planning to name the film "AIRBALL". The title in itself has a comedic aspect to it as it is a term used when someone shoots a shot in basketball and misses everything including the rim, backboard, or net. This phrase is also used when someone makes a bad joke as someone may yell "AIRBALL" in a sarcastic manner to poke fun at the person trying to make a joke to let them know it wasn't funny.
The comedic parts of the opening is going to be coming from the humorous aspects of the main character. Things such as his clothing, his dialogue, and his actions will be for the purpose of making the audience laugh at the character. This can be seen in infamous films such as Dumb and Dumber, and Step Brothers.
