Composing a film opening

      Throughout the course of trying to create a film opening, we have faced an obvious struggle; picking the idea that was best suited for our entire group. A common shared interest between members of the group was a passion for creating an impactful film with the representation that accurately molded teenage life to the highest degree. This common theme led us to create a film that would depict an abusive household for a teenager and his coping mechanisms for dealing with it in a healthy way. Many modern movies want to create and show unhealthy versions of dealing with these issues and our group wants to strive to show a healthy outlet for a teenager going through a tough situation. 
    Although this will create a film that is going to require a lot of hard work and dedication, it will ultimately be fulfilling to make and create something that we would all be proud of. The depiction of abusive parents will be especially hard to portray, but overall with a lot of attention to detail, we hope to create a film that can truly depict how somebody's love for skateboarding can override any tough moments of life.
