On Saturday, February 24, Isabella and I decided to get together for a movie night at her house. After spending a few hours scrolling through YouTube videos and random films, we gave up and just chatted the night away. After an hour or so, her mother came home and joined in on our conversation and had mentioned that she was in the mood to watch a romantic comedy. I had suggested watching the film, Home Again, which I had seen previously with my mother. Knowing this romantic comedy was the perfect movie for the night, we sat down and began to watch it.
The film, which I will not explore in too much depth, revolves around the life of a 40-year-old woman and how her life changes when she crosses paths with three young men, all looking to pursue a career in the entertainment field in California. Our inspiration directly came from one of the scenes of this film. In the scene, the three young men are sat down with a producer, who is giving them feedback on their film script and theme. The producer was not fond of the men's movie idea and pitched them the idea of a found-footage love story instead. As soon as my group mate and I heard that idea, we sprung off the couch and yelled, "THAT'S IT!"
After discussing the pros and cons with Isabella, such as the genre of this idea and how well they work with the traditional movie trailer conventions, we decided it was a perfect overall idea. After spending hours over discussing the possible plot ideas, we decided that we wanted to portray this love story through footage found from the lover's child. Now all that's left to do is further research the typical conventions not only for movie trailers but for romance films. Let's get this show on the road!
