Week 3:
Storyboard
Overall, our idea of what an entire film would be is having a teenage girl grieving her twin brother’s death, and coping through the usage of drugs. It would follow the journey of her faltering relationship with her mother, as she fears she might lose another child.
But, the opening will just introduce a grieving teenager who copes with the use of meth. It would end with her mother finding her crashed on the bathroom floor, a small glimpse of what the “larger film” would entail.
Character Design
Isabel Herrera is the name of the main character.'Isabel' is a Spanish name, meaning “my God is an oath.” It is quite ironic in her position. Deriving from Spanish culture, chosen to be Colombian, she commonly comes from a somewhat Christian household. Additionally, as seen in the storyboard, she has just turned 17.
These factors add to Isabel's ongoing burden of grief and feeling trapped, leading to her dependence on drugs.
Isabel's design comes from an inspiration of the following:
Rue Bennett from the series "Euphoria"
She is a 17-year-old recovering drug addict.
Jane Margolis from the series "Breaking Bad"
She has struggled with drugs and her relationship with her father.
Moodboard
Colors set the tone without the need for dialogue.
They are combined to communicate meaning, for example:
Blue represents isolation and calmness.
Green represents corruption and immaturity.
Red/Brown represents youth and monotony.
