Portfolio Project 10 Summary

#10 Summary

     So far we have finally decided on our project idea, it was actually our very first idea, all the way up here now. I hate giving myself credit, but I'm the one who came up with the original idea, not to say that the rest of the team hasn't played equally in the pre production of this project. Me and Nina started working on an outline for the story but didn't get around to finish it:

    It was mostly just planning things out and whatnot but it's pretty detailed, and we will definitely finish it when time comes. My last blog had the script so I'll just give you an outline of the story:

Ollie is in his dark room, disgusting room, full of clothing and with dim lights, he is a coke addict and starts his day off by grabbing a baggie of coke and snorting it. All through out a loud knocking can be heard and his dog is barking non stop. He checks on the door and finds his friend, Chris, there, he excitedly invites him in but he's just there to comfort him about his girlfriend who recently broke up with him, while Ollie wanted to do drugs. Ollie plays her off, acting like she doesn't matter Chris sees right through this and tells him he need's to stop before walking away. Ollie is left in his house with a barking dog and after yelling at it to shut up, which it doesn't, he breaks down into tears.

    One of my biggest inspirations for this was the tv show, Breaking Bad, as I've been rewatching it lately. The character of Jesse Pinkman inspired Ollie greatly. These characters are very different but they have a similar struggle with drug addiction.

    

    I don't fully remember if I've mentioned this in any blog before but I wanted to use artificial sweetener for the coke, however Nina told me that flour looks way more accurate than coke. I have really dumb reason for wanting to originally use sweetener and it's because of the Starsky and Hutch movie. Not a great movie but there's a scene where Ben Stiller confuses coke with artificial sweetener and for some reason that inspired me to use cocaine for this, so thank that movie for this opening's existence.
