The other day in class we met in little group and discussed our ideas. I got to share with my peers what my group and I are planning on doing for our two minute opening. The constructive criticism and ideas they all gave me really helped. We got to bounce different ideas off of each other and then my group and I came together and discussed what we should change and keep. We decided that we are going to change our film opening idea completely. We are now going to do a day in the life of a high school senior, who gets into a car accident and realizes the simple life she though she had is completely turned upside down. We decided to have her get into an accident where the problem for the accident is texting and driving because that is a common things teens deal with today and is a problem that needs to be focused on. According to this link texting and driving accidents rose six percent in 2016 alone. The article also addressed how texting and driving is a serious thing occurring and teens are attached to there phones, where they feel as if they can't even go a car ride without checking them. Since we are all high school seniors we know this is an ongoing problem and think that we can address it and show it within our film opening. It is still going to be a drama. Our main character has her life set, she just gets accepted to the college of her dreams, she has her life planned out until something unexpected happens that could have easily been prevented. It took us a while but now that we have a message down and know exactly what we want to do we feel that we can portray this well in our two minute film opening.
