 Here is the casting of the film; Onyx Elizabeth Lopez

After much thinking, I've come to a final decision on what to film for my opening. In the near future, my situation wouldn't allow me to go out and about with many people at any time I want, so I need to make something with everything I have in my mother's house. What I have in mind is making the film about a girl and her best friend; her dog. After viewing their loving bond, the audience along with the main character will see that the dog has gone missing. This will make the main character stressed and in full panic mode. This idea is best for me with the situation, and I think it's acceptable. It will be considered as a drama film.

 Why I changed my original idea At first, in the beginning of the school year, I had planned out for my final project to be a sort of coming of age opening film. I thought out of the opening to incorporate elements such as a simple problem in a teenager's life, and how that teenager would seek the help and attention from their friends to solve the problem and make them feel better. I even had an idea to add a song from a world-wide known group of artists, which would be the inspiration for a certain scene because of the music video.

I've consumed an enormous amount of media displaying romance whether it be movies/films, books, or social media platforms. It would be best because I can direct all the kno...

 So, for the final project, I'm thinking of many ideas for the genre. These are what I came up with for now: Horror; taking place in a forest and involving around three to four individuals. Takes place in the afternoon because the night would be too dangerous for the cast. The whole mood would be suspenseful and could intensify as time goes by. Near the end, could leave a scene that leaves the audience on a cliffhanger. Romance; taking place in the city. The time would be around late afternoon for the sun to shine bright. My two actors could be females to show representation in the lgbtq+ community. I could just make up the cute first ever interaction between the two characters and end it with a moment of realization for their feelings for one another. Adventure/Expedition; takes place in the forest and involving two individuals who can play as characters who are travelers. I can try and edit certain scenes to make it seem as though they have found some sort of other worldly item o...
