The journey...
The journey of " New Everything "
When my group and I first received our project assignment and agreed to create a teenage drama film, there was one thing we needed to figure out first, who was gonna be the main actor that gets filmed? . We chose Joel and he had the role of acting out the sadness and anxiety to raise awareness about mental health issues among students
To be simple the premise of the film is that a new student transfers to a new school around half-way through the school year, which is something he has dealt with numerous times as he has moved numerous times due to his parents unstable job; however, the audience is unaware of this because this is a film opening, and if they were, the surprising plot would be spoiled.
To underline that the main character is depressed by having him act like that in every scene and play the part, regardless of where he is. Whether it's when he's getting ready for school in his room or when he arrives at school. We had to employ color theory in this as well, by dressing him in black and gray, which are the hues most associated with depression. To top it off, we had an item that is commonly seen in teen dramas: headphones that they wear to filter out the rest of the world so they can be alone. This allowed us to create a mysterious mood and spark the audience's interest.
