Initial idea
I wanted to create a high school movie opening scene. My inspiration for this idea came from one of my favourite movies Clueless. The opening of Clueless uses fast pace moving images to illustrate the main protagonist's hectic lifestyle as a teenager.
Plot
Two very different worlds collide. When Xavier's dad drops a bombshell that his new girlfriend and her daughter will be coming to live with them Xavier's world is turned upside down. When Hope's mother breaks the news that they will be movin in with her new boyfriend Hope's world turns upside down.
Characters
Xavier : Every girls' highschool crush. Academically failin but makes up for it on the field.
Hope : Far from a nerd. Reserved and shy. Hopes to leave highschool unnoticed and drama free.
Opening scene
Film starts with split pictures. The audience gets to watch both characters start their day at the same time, highlights the difference between the two. Camera then shows a midshot of Hope walking to scchool on the phone to her friend complaining about the amount of time her mum is spending with her new boyfriend. Camera then cuts to Xavier stepping out of his car with his friend and walking past Hope.
