Our story!

Paty and I have figured out our entire film story! While we're only filming the first two minutes, we believe that it's important to plan an entire film (albeit roughly) in order to realize what points we need to get across within the first two minutes to establish the rest of the film.

The plot is essentially that there's a group of teenagers who are all close friends who are seniors in college. Everyone in the group is moving away, except for one girl, who is going to college locally. She gets upset that both her boyfriend and all of her friends are leaving her, so she decides to kill them all so that she won't be abandoned. They all go on one last camping trip together, and this is when she kills them.

Since we need to get this idea across, our opening scene is the murderer and her boyfriend sitting on the hood of the car, reminiscing on old times and talking about how they're going to miss each other. She then lures him into the car to hook up, and this is where she ends up murdering him. She then leaves his body inside the car and walks down the trail to the rest of the friends, ready to kill them all.

We think this will be successful in getting all of the major points across because they discuss college and she mentions how they're all leaving, the murder shows her anger, and her walking into the forest with a sense of purpose will signify that she's not finished with her mission yet. 

We're actually so excited about this story, especially because we're the same age as our characters. While we DON'T want to murder our friends because they're leaving us, we can relate to the sad feeling that everyone is going off to college. This will also help our target audience of 16-25 to somewhat relate to our murderer, and, in my opinion, the best kind of movies are the ones where you sympathize with the murderer.
